SUMMARY:Event in the EU Parliament : “Defend Rojava\, Defend Democratic Confederalism”
DESCRIPTION:Event in the EU Parliament : “Defend Rojava\, Defend Democratic Confederalism” \nJanuary 27th 19:00-20:00 \nEuropean Parliament – Room ASP 5E2 \nPress Release: European Parliament Event in Solidarity with Rojava \nOn the 27th of January from 19:00-20:00\, an event titled “Defend Rojava\, Defend Democratic Confederalism” will be held in the European Parliament in Brussels\, Room ASP 5E2 co-hosted by political parties Sinistra Italiana\, Die Linke\, and Enhedslisten. The event will focus on recent existential threats to Kurdish communities and the Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria. Speakers will include: \n\nIlaria Salis (MEP – Sinistra Italiana)\nOzlem Demiral (MEP – Die Linke)\nPer Clausen (MEP – Enhedslisten; Chair of the Kurdish Friendship Group)\nEyyup Faruk Doru (DEM-PARTI)\nSinan Önal (Foreign Relations Commission of the Kurdistan National Congress)\nShiyar Ali\, Representative of the Autonomous Administration to Europe\nRwaida Al Harfoush\, Representative of the Druze\nMaysoon Majidi (Kurdish refugee in Italy\, Associazione Tre Dita)\nMaria Edgarda Marcucci\, activist and writer\nLudovica Intelisano (Academy of Democratic Modernity)\n\nThe event description can be found below: \nThe situation in Aleppo\, North-East Syria\, and Rojava is extremely critical. \nThe Autonomous Administration and the project of Democratic Confederalism are under full-scale attack and are facing an existential threat from the new Syrian regime led by al-Jolani. \nThis assault is being carried out in coordination with Erdoğan’s militias\, whose objective is to weaken and dismantle the Kurdish liberation movement\, and with international powers that have cowardly abandoned the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF)\, first and foremost the United States. \nThe European Union also bears major responsibility. Following the launch of the large-scale offensive\, Ursula von der Leyen visited Damascus to meet al-Jolani\, where a diplomatic and economic agreement was reached that is directly contributing to the current situation. \nAs Sinistra Italiana\, Die Linke\, and Enhedslisten\, we strongly condemn the conduct of the European Union and reaffirm our full support for Democratic Confederalism as a political project grounded in participatory democracy\, self-determination\, pluralism\, gender equality\, and eco-social justice. \nWith this event\, we aim to provide a platform for comrades from the Democratic Confederalist movement\, as well as for all those who stand in solidarity with them. It will also be an opportunity to collectively reflect on the strategies needed to support the just struggle of Rojava in Italy\, Germany\, and across Europe. \nIn this dark moment\, we believe that internationalism is more necessary than ever. \nThose who are interested in attending can register here: https://left.eu/defend-rojava-defend-democratic-confederalism-registration-page/

A very large number of gangs are attacking us. Up to now we have resisted them in many different ways\, but now we are using the ammunition we have with caution so that it does not run out. It is necessary that all our friends and our people know that we will fight until our last breath\, no matter what happens. Calls for surrender are being made to us\, but just as Zarîfe and Besêyan threw themselves from the cliffs of Dersim\, as Rindêxan ended his life at the Malabadi Bridge and gave meaning to life\, we too will never take a step back from resistance.\nNow each and every one of us has a bomb with us. If we know that our last ammunition is exhausted\, we will—five comrades together—carry out a self-sacrificing action against the occupying enemy who has committed every kind of atrocity against our people and our comrades. Whatever happens\, nothing is more important than protecting the honor of our people. Those who do not face death at the decisive moment cannot become the breath of a free life.”\n\nSome common terms and definitions:\n\nHTS = Hay’at Tahrir Al-Sham\, the al-Qaeda offshoot that now holds power in the Syrian Transitional Government\nDaesh = the Arabic name for ISIS (Islamic State)\nBakur = North Kurdistan (in Turkey)\nBashur = South Kurdistan (in Iraq)
