CENTRAL NEWS – In 23rd of April of 2021 the turkish fascist state once more invaded Southern Kurdistan, with focus on the regions of Metina, Zap and Avaşîn and the war lasted for 8 months in these regions. During this period a historical resistance was written by the Freedom Fighters of Kurdistan within the caves and tunnels of the Free Mountains. A video was made during its clashes and daily life as it follows:
These attacks against the people of South Kurdistan has to be seen in the context of the continuous and intensifying attempts of the Turkish state and its allies to liquidate the Kurdish Freedom Movement. Therefore, an attack against the Free mountains of Kurdistan is an attack against the Rojava revolution, as well. At the same time, all Turkish aggression to expand their territory towards the South-East are part of bigger ambition to reestablish the borders or the Ottoman Empire. Today, the guerrilla is the only force that is able to actively resist those imperialist dreams.
The fascist Turkish state is committing war crimes on a daily basis, uses chemical weapons and commits an ecocide by burning huge forest areas. However, thanks to the heroic resistance of the guerrilla, they have not managed to gain significant ground since the Turkish soldiers are attacked by the guerrilla wherever they move. The guerrilla is proving once again that the will to fight for human values is more powerful than any NATO-weapon. This video gives a very rare insight into the reality of the tunnel war in Werxelê in Avaşîn.
Now, for the second time the fascist turkish state has launched a new operation in the same locations, once they didn’t manage to get results last year. However, its stated by the HPG that the turkish state is suffering considerable losses in this firsts days of operation.
