The Children of Fire Initiative announced its last one-month action balance sheet with a written statement.
The youth initiative touched upon the occupation attacks in Rojava, Kurdistan, and the appointment of AKP trustees to nearly all democratically-earned positions of the Kurdish party, along with the arrests and imprisonment of these politicians as a method to deter Kurds. The youth expressed that genocidal policies are being implemented in all parts of Kurdistan by the Turkish state. The youth also stated that actions performed are being carried out under the ‘Hellfire’ move.
“We declare that within the scope of the ‘hellfire’ move, we will continue to target workplaces, factories, all areas of life we will target the enemies of the Kurdish -be it in their own lairs, or homes. We will continue without hesitation to punish the enemy for all that it has implemented on the Kurdish people.”
The description of the Children of Fire Initiative is as follows:
“Those who came from Central Asia and settled in Anatolia declared to the world that they would carry out genocide by burning and bombing the houses of Kurds, continue to massacre women and children carelessly.
Let everyone know that the pillage of Hasankeyf, the enemy’s Rojava attack and the appointment of trustees are a new milestone for the Kurdish people. The Turkish State attacked Rojava for thousands of years to exile the Kurdish people living in these lands and apply genocide, destroying all the bridges and planted a hundred years of anger and revenge.
Kurdistan is not Turkey’s backyard, nor are the Kurds sacrificial lambs. The real terrorists are those who affirm the fascist Turkish State and its practices in the attacks against the gains of the Kurdish people all over the world.
With the excuse of terrorism, the terrorists are those who attack through the mentality of ISIS. As of now, the homes that will be burnt are not only those of the Kurdish people; and let it be known that it is not only the Kurd who will be affected by war.
When it comes to the Kurds, it does not matter whether they are children or woman, dead or alive. Their death is legitimate and supported. The genocide, appointment of trustees, exiles, tortures and inhumane torture applied by MIT is permitted.
We will continue to punish those who sponsor this war and will accept those who remain silent against the October 9 attacks in Rojava as collaborators. Within the scope of our ‘Hellfire’ move, we will not leave a single home, workplace, street, factory or city in Turkey unaffected. We will continue not to hesitate to hit the enemy in all its areas of life.
We can only be the best companions to the friendly, but we can also be the enemies worst nightmare.”
