NEWS CENTER – The Kenyan mass of the working class people, peasants and all forms of social existence stands outraged by the ongoing attacks being witnessed in the different parts of the Kurdistan territories by the NATO aligned forces: in northern Syria, eastern Syria and al-Hol detention camps where ISIS women and children are based. We have followed and witnessed the systemic violence being meted upon the Kurdish civilians and liberation movement recently by the Turkish forces and view them as one of the many attempts by the reactionary forces against revolutionary movements and independent societies. The air strikes, targeted upon the Kurdish bases should stand condemned and viewed as they are: terrorist operations.
The Grassroots Liberation Movement in alliance with social movements and progressive forces in Kenya, at this time stands in solidarity with the Kurdish people and the need to defend their revolution by all means necessary. We continue to express our unconditional, total support with our Kurdish comrades, friends, brothers and sisters, who, at this point need our solidarity more than ever before. We salute and pay revolutionary tributes to all martyrs who have fallen in the course of struggle for freedom.
The attacks come just after an explosion reported on the 8th of November in Istanbul. The blames have been carelessly diverted to the PKK, a revolutionary outfit of the Kurdish revolutionary movement for freedom against the oppressive imperialist circle. The attacks are a projection of the systemic failures within the capitalist societies- even with a resounding strong military outfit, big chunks of national budget expenditure being channeled to the military and security systems- they cannot and are not in the capacity to control insurgency attacks in their own society. The careless diversion of blames to the PKK is part of the global propaganda war against revolutionary movements, and an attempt to suppress revolutionary organizing. The blames have been shifted to the PKK without a pinch of social investigation, background study, or any prior study to the conditions surrounding the events. The PKK and the Kurdish revolutionary movement will eventually emerge even much stronger after these trying experiences, even when the ruling class laws continue to outlaw it. The revolution will not be legitimized by any ruling class laws or permissions.
The significance of the Kurdish resistance movement stands strongly, unshaken and ever relevant to building an inspiration of a powerful resistance base against global capitalism. Even when they have shifted the blames on the PKK, the Turkish forces with the help of NATO, and the international conspiracy, continue to attack children, women the working people, and civilians. Several deaths, injuries and destruction of infrastructure continue to be reportedly true. Which will in turn distract the natural processes of the Kurdistan community and the world. Those who result to war portray cowardice.
We therefore take this timely, demanding and decisive moment, to categorically and clearly condemn the approach being used by the Turkish forces. We additionally state that the recent events reflect fear, disorganization and a defeatist attitude by the Turkish-NATO forces. We urge and recommend that they should instead, divert the resources to developing and rebuilding their crumbling social infrastructure. No nation state laws will annihilate or assimilate the Kurdish people who are ceaselessly fighting towards self-determination.
We urge all progressive forces, the conscious people from our societies, international bodies, political parties and social movements to stand in solidarity, and condemn the inhumane acts by the Turkish state against the Kurds. It is in such moments that we draw clear demarcations between the reactionary forces and progressive units.”
LONG LIVE THE KURDISH LIBERATION STRUGGLE!
