The following piece tells the story of Rifat Horoz, who became better known by his nom de guerre Karker Kobanê after he traveled to the city to aid in Kobane’s defense and reconstruction during the ISIS offensive last year. Karker Heval, who became a member of the YPG, was killed during the ISIS terrorist attack on Kobanê last week. Journalist Rojin Akın had spoken with Karker just a couple of weeks before his death, on July 11th, and wrote this article about Karker’s life and his motivations for coming to Kobanê. It has been translated into English below.

At the end of 48th avenue, in Kobanê city center just across from the Canton building, there is a courtyard stacked full of mortar rounds, the destroyed wreckage of cars, rockets, bombs and all kinds of spent ammunition. Before the war this area had been used as a sports field. Today the…

Maria speaks out, ‘I was Stolen and Sold by religious Spanish Fascists’

We know when the ultra right and the church seized power in Spain they ‘legally’ murdered over 100,000 innocents. But they also indulged in ‘political genocide’, secretly stealing the children of socialists and anarchists and brainwashing them in religious institutions or selling them off to right wing families.

.... ''Hi I'm looking for my twin brother, we were born at the hospital in Zamacola, after a few hours they told my mother that my brother had died but never let her see the body. I have no birth or death certificate and she was not told where they had buried him. My mother was single. We were born on 02/01/1962. My mother's name was Felisa Ortega......if someone remembers my mother's name or was born in that hospital on that date please get in touch with me''....this is one of over 60 appeals for information in the Comments of the original article in Spanish.

They did this on a staggering scale, with estimates of up to 300,000 babies, ‘legalizing’ the practice and the changing of names to form one of the biggest conspiracies and still uncovered crimes of modern times. This went on up until 1980, by then mainly for the money.

How can you find your mother, or your lost baby if the records are false or missing, and the Church, the State, the Laws and the hospitals still conspire to block you at every step? Finally it has taken a court case begun in Argentina to even give some victims the chance to state their cases. Maria Ascencion is one of the first, but many many others are asking to be heard, even a man in his 90s who managed to testify before dying.

The militarisation of the European borders: the daily terror in Morocco

beatingborders's avatarNo Borders Morocco

In this period, where thousands of people cross the Mediterranean Sea, the European Union and its member states continue to spend millions of euros to “secure” the borders and to prevent so-called “rogue migrants” from accessing the continent. As recent reports have revealed, the EU ministries and heads of state are planning a military intervention in the Mediterranean in order to destroy the boats of alleged “smugglers” with the help of the dynamic FRONTEX agency.

This war against migrants and lately the war against smugglers, who the EU points to as “responsible” for these tragedies, are part of the agenda of the European Union. The European Commission provides programmes for regional development and protection aimed at North Africa, West Africa and the Horn of Africa. (For a good overview of the EU border regime in Africa, see El Diario Desalambre). Regarding Morocco, the EU has…

these are the banners in memory of a child,  Oussama, who died here when he fell from the cliff trying to ‘jump a boat’ to Europe, the ‘Prodein’ kids rights group were fined 1500 euros for this action to honour him.

Melilla and Ceuta are  Spanish enclaves in Morrocco, remnants of colonialism, like Gibraltar in Spain. As well as the 1000’s of adults impaled or trapped on the 5 metre fences some children manage to slip through into Europe’s shameful fortress. The group Prodein is trying to help them.

PRODEIN statement against repression in Melilla

About 60 children live in the streets of Melilla hoping to catch the boat to take them to Europe, where they believe that a better future awaits them. Unaccompanied Alien Minors (MENA) are subjected every day to different types of violence that violate their rights and undermine their dignity and destroy their ‘childhood’.

Threats by José Utera Molina, who ordered Execution of Anarchist

The ex justice minister Gallardón’s father in law has threatened to prosecute the ‘Victims of Franco Association’.

José Utrera Molina, an ex Franco minister who is wanted by the Argentinean judge María Servini and Interpol for the crimes he committed during the dictatorship, placed his attack on the webpage of the Francisco Franco Foundation.

He said, ‘In defence of my honour, if I exercised my responsibilities as a minister during the Franco regime it does not consist of any crime and the ‘supposed’ judicial action in Argentina against me and other Francoists is a political initiative.

He assured the action in Argentina is being carried out in the shadows, and those in Spain cannot carry out a criminal investigation against Franco’s ministers as ‘it lacks any legal foundation’.

He said he ‘did not rule out’ exercising his legal rights which he considers necessary for his defence.

Utrera, in the centre, has never apologised for his many crimes, even writing a book celebrating fascism.

He’s wanted in Argentina for co-validating the signature for death by garrotte against the anarchist Salvador Puig Antich, who was murdered in March 1974 and the last of over 150,000 summarily executed for resisting the 40 year long fascist military takeover.

Yemen-RT-Op-Edge[NOTE: Shortly after this story was filed, the UN announced a “humanitarian pause in the country’s ongoing conflict” starting July 10 and expected to last a week. As framed by the UN, the “pause” was agreed to by “Yemen’s President Hadi” as well as the Houthis and “other parties” in Yemen, as if there were no other significant combatants. This deceitful framing omits the most aggressive, undeclared war-making carried out against Yemen by the US, Saudi Arabia, and sundry other UN members. The UN missive makes no mention of the months of Saudi-American bombing, even though the bombers must have agreed to a “pause” to make it happen. In the author’s view, the pause is a good thing from a humanitarian perspective, although the previous 5-day pause in May was relatively ineffective. From the perspective of policy and…
