International Call: Rise Up, Defend Rojava!.. .ANF NEWS DESK
- Demonstrations against Turkey all around Europe
- State run media and Islam boost Nationalist hysteria in Turkey celebrating Nazi style Invasion
The SDF coalition of militias, of Rojava/Autonomous Administration(AA) though 70,000 strong, are facing a giant 639,551.[8] strong modern NATO army , led by an openly fascist, racist, misogynist and mass murdering expansionist regime, as being illustrated daily in Afrin, which in principle should destroy them in days.
The SDF has very few armoured vehicles, tanks or heavy artillery and of course no air force at all, while Turkey is the second biggest NATO force with tens of thousands, now poised to take over Rojava and northern Syria.
21:41 10 Oct 19:Fighting resumes between Manbij Military Council fighters and the occupation forces in Ceblê, Hemra, Til Torîn and Boxaz villages of Manbij that were attacked with heavy weapons. Manbij Military Council fighters are retaliating in kind.
Most of Turkey’s weapons are US, and there are no restrictions, so in replacements the US, and personally Donald Trump, stand to gain a bonanza from a genocidal massacre they permitted, and could have prevented with just 1000 of their million strong military.
The SDF should therefore probably go for a guerilla resistance from the beginning, as any set battles in the open countryside could be suicidal. However this is do or die for them, and for their amazing human revolution. Everything else has been tried. There is no other choice but total resistance.
Another tactic then may be to extend the battlefield, on all levels.. all the long border, in Afrin, in Iraq, in Iran and across Europe and the world, with all, including me and hopefully you, resisting at their own level.
Rise Up For Rojava !

International reactions have been almost unanimous but not concrete. Only Qatar and Spain have supported Erdogan with their aggression. The USA has remained erratic. Trump has assured that he will not accept Erdogan’s inhuman action and threatened with “more than just sanctions.”
At the same time, he said he did not care if the 10,000 prisoners of the Islamic State escaped as they would go to Europe and not the US and that the Kurds “fight for their land”, so it was not a problem with the U.S.“They did not help us in World War II nor in Normandy,” said the ridiculous Republican president. In the US, a bipartisan proposal (Democrat and Republican) has been presented by congressmen and senators to approve economic sanctions against Turkey for aggression.Most states have opted for silence or verbal convictions such as the EU, Germany, Egypt or Saudi Arabia.Finland has announced that it stops selling material that can be used militarily, mainly iron and steel. The Netherlands has called on the Turkish ambassador to consult and has called a parliamentary session to approve sanctions against Erdogan.
The French state, with troops in the region, for the moment it is unknown where they are, has organized a meeting between E. Macron and a Kurdish delegation. Former President F. Hollande has been more specific and has called for immediate sanctions against Erdogan.
Iran has recommended that the Self-Government of the North and East Syria be submitted to the Syrian government of Assad, but Aldar Xelîl, representative of Rojava, has stated that Russia has blocked any possible agreement with Damascus.
Surprisingly the Syrian government has not made any statements about the Turkish entry into its territory and the air and ground bombardments. ‘

- Bombing and shelling let loose along the whole border.
- To bomb Rojava Erdogan certainly has the key Airspace Use Permission from the US, making Trump a direct War Criminal.
- Turkey has also let loose its paid jihadi mercenaries who are attacking the Kobani area, hoping to murder, loot and rape.
- Turkish aggression on Gire Spi killed a couple in the village of Mikalta.
- Turkish jets strike the vicinity of al-Chirkin prison in Qamishlo where ISIS prisoners are held. Mustefa Bali, head of SDF Press Office, said the place is where the most dangerous jihadists are held.
- Rumours say that Turkey will use the same tactic as in the Afrin invasion. That is to prolong a massive bombardment to make the surviving people flee, never to be let return, before setting up military bases. Ethnic cleansing has already begun.
- While the attacks continued around the city of Sêrikaniyê with mortars, Sêrikaniyê Military Assembly forces responded. There are thousands of civilians in the city, children, old people, this is pure fascist terror . Al-Nusra gangs and the Turkish army are heavily bombing Serekaniye from three sides. The occupation forces attempt to enter the area amid intense artillery fire. On Thursday large numbers of Turkish paid jihadi mercenaries joined the assault on Serekaniye, but were defeated with very heavy casualties.

Wladimir @vvanwilgenburg #BREAKING: SDF says they repelled Turkish attack in Tal Abyad.
Spain, only European country supporting Turkey’s invasion of Syria
Using the hashtag #SupportToTurkey, Spain emphasized the fact that Turkey is a NATO member state and ally, promising “commitment and solidarity with our [Turkey] ally”, along with images of joint NATO drills.
Spain has large sales of military equipment to the neo-fascist regime in Turkey, but other countries have defied Erdogan’s open threats and condemned the invasion. Spain is also paranoid about Catalan campaigns for independence and may see Rojava as a bad example, although the multi-ethnic popular AA administration in Rojava has never called for independence from Syria.
Call to Action: Solidarity with Rojava! Against the Turkish Invasion!
-
On October 6, the Trump administration announced it was pulling US troops out of northern Syria, essentially giving Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan a green light to invade Rojava, carry out ethnic cleansing, and forcibly resettle the area. **We are calling for people around the world to engage in protest and/or disruption at Turkish consulates, US government offices, arms manufacturers, and businesses connected with the Turkish government, such as Turkish Airlines.**
Since 2012, the autonomous region of Rojava has hosted an inspiring multi-ethnic experiment in self-determination involving a network of councils, communes, and cooperatives, all while fighting the Islamic State (ISIS). After years of struggle, despite sustaining massive casualties, fighters from Rojava participated in liberating all of the territory that ISIS had occupied and freeing those who had been held captive in ISIS strongholds.

In an attempt to justify permitting Turkey to invade Syria, Trump has tweeted that US taxpayers should not have to pay to keep ISIS fighters detained. In fact, the US has not paid a cent to detain captured ISIS fighters; that has been completely organized by the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF). The reality is that the Turkish invasion of Kurdish territory will create the conditions for ISIS to reemerge and resume operations in Syria and around the world. For years, Turkey has permitted weapons, recruits, and resources to reach ISIS through its borders.
For years, anarchists, socialists + antifascists have given their lives in the fight against ISIS + in support of the autonomous confederation of Rojava in so-called Northern Syria. Praised by US politicians + pundits as heroes against ISIS, yet demonized at home as “terrorists.” pic.twitter.com/TwjZuQxF5b

Both ISIS and the Turkish invasion pose an existential threat to all the ethnic and religious groups indigenous to the region, including Arabs, Christians (Armenians, Assyrians, Chaldeans, and Syriacs), Turkmens, Chechens, Alevites, and Yazidis. Many of these groups have gained a voice in their own lives for the first time, yet now face massacre at the hands of the Turkish military and the jihadists.
Turkey’s invasion of Rojava sets a new precedent for military aggression, ethnic cleansing, and the destruction of egalitarian and feminist experiments like the one in Rojava. It sets the stage for more bloodshed and oppression everywhere around the world, paving the way for ethno-nationalist autocrats like Trump, Erdoğan, Bashar al-Assad, Jair Bolsonaro, and Vladimir Putin to dominate world politics for generations to come.
For months, people in Rojava have called for international solidarity in the event of an invasion. We must bring attention to the plight of the people in Rojava and make it known that there will be consequences for this.
To keep silent is to be complicit.
We call on all people of good conscience to organize themselves, protest, and mobilize at Turkish consulates, US government offices, arms manufacturers, and businesses connected with the Turkish government, such as Turkish Airlines. The Rojava Solidarity Committee Europe has joined organizers in Rojava in calling for a day of action on October 12th, against the Turkish invasion; we endorse this call, and call for further actions before and after October 12th.
We need to build a context for broad-based direct action as a step towards building a global movement that can make such atrocities impossible. Together, we can stop the invasion.
See you in the streets.
