KARLSRUHE – On the evening of August 24, an internationalist group in Karlsruhe broke the silence about the war in Kurdistan and especially north-east Syria for a moment and made internationalist solidarity visible on the streets with loud slogans.
The internationalist activists who gathered to protest the ongoing attacks on the autonomous administration of North-East Syria marched to the offices of the Green Party and exposed the party’s warmongering policies in the form of posters, which they left clearly visible on the window panes.
Among other things, they commented on their action on indymedia with the following words:
“ Angry about the international silence, loud and determined, we marched through the western part of Karlsruhe. We let slogans of solidarity ring through the streets and underlined the atmosphere with flares in the colors of the autonomous region of Rojava.
The demonstration went as far as the Greens office, where some activists exposed the “green” warmongers with signs attached. The demonstration then broke up in a self-determined manner.
It hit the Greens today, who still consider Turkey to be an “essential partner” (Baerbock) and prefer to remain silent on Turkey’s war of aggression, which violates international law, as well as on the attacks on women’s rights. But the rest of the traffic light coalition, as well as the CDU/CSU, are also responsible for the despicable Turkish war against the democratic autonomous region of northern Syria. They too must be unmasked as perpetrators. You have supported, promoted and approved Turkey’s years of rearmament. While the outcry is great in the Ukraine war, the NATO ally Turkey can simultaneously slaughter more and more civilians with poison gas and bombs and prepare publicly for an invasion of northern Syria. Of course, this attitude is not surprising,
In Germany, the enemies of the Kurdish revolution are only a stone’s throw away. Whether it is the government parties, the German armaments companies like Krauss-Maffei Wegmann, whose weapons are being shot at our Syrian/Kurdish comrades, or Rheinmetall, which is supplying Leopard 2 tanks to the Turkish dictatorship and is involved in planning a tank factory in Turkey. The banks and institutions that make money from the war, that supply military or logistical equipment. Let’s stand up for a lived internationalism and let’s not leave these enemies of free northern Syria alone!
While local comrades fight with arms for a liberated society, it is our job as internationalists to back them here with any means at our disposal.”
