QAMISHLO
As part of the global action day of the climate movement “FridaysForFuture”, there was also an action in Qamislo. Together with the city administration of Qamislo, students of Rojava University demonstrated and cleaned up the city.
With banners and loud chants, more than 50 students of the Rojava University in Qamislo walked through the city and drew attention to the ecological difficulties, from waste in the city to global climate change. With this demonstration and the simultaneous cleaning actıon of the streets, they took part in the global climate movement FridaysForFuture, which had called for a worldwide day of action on Friday. Besides the students and activists of the city administration, also internationalists of the campaign Make Rojava Green Again took part. On the banners brought along and carried by the students, was written: “To defense nature we have to organize ourselves – system change not climate change”, signed with FridaysForFuture-Rojava.
Mahir Pir, history student at Rojava University, emphasizes that the way we deal with nature and the cleanliness of cities also reflects the mentality of a society. Cleanliness in daily life and cities, and the preservation and defense of nature is one of the essential things in life.
The students underlined the importance of leading this action as the youth, because in the youth the strength of society lies. With photos and a video, they sent their greetings to all activists who are committed to defend nature and life all over the world and wished them every success in the second global climate strike.
