⚡️ To all young people: JOIN THE REVOLUTION!⚡️

The resistance against the Turkey’s backed mercenaries is continuing. A YPG veteran Karim Franceschi stated: “The deployment of SDF elite units has shifted the momentum.

In defense of humanity: Internationalists in Italy honored Şehîd Ronahî Yekta (Arşîn Hisên), one of many revolutionaries murdered countering the terrorist attacks of the Turkey-backed mercenaries on Rojava. For over 20 days the fighters of the YPJ and QSD are resisting against the occupation of Turkish fascism at the Euphrates front.

➡️ To those who follow the news and just can’t sit still. To those who go to demonstrations but feel like they don’t contribute enough. To those who follow in the footsteps of Şehîd Lêgerîn Çiya, Şehîd Dilsoz Bihar, Şehîd Hêlîn Qereçox, Şehîd Andok Cotkar and many other Şehîds: COME TO ROJAVA!

➡️ Now is the time to experience the revolution on the ground and learn and fight together. Whether with a pen, a brush, a camera or a weapon in your hand – every one has a role to take.

Serêkanîyê (Ras al Ain)

Meanwhile, dozens of families in Serêkanîyê (Ras al Ain) want to leave, but are facing extortionate exit fees from the mercenaries that they cannot afford.

Serêkanîyê is in the border buffer zone created by Turkiye in Erdogan’s 3rd invasion in 2019 where most people were exiled to ongoing internal refugee camps and the rest trapped with settled jihadi Turkish paid mercenaries

Exiled Comedian Slava gets 6 years Jail for insulting Belarus president

The court also found Slava guilty of making people laugh and inciting religious, racial, and national hatred– sentenced ‘in absentia’..

stand up comedian Slava Komissarenko

A court in Belarus has sentenced a stand-up comedian to six years in prison for insulting President Alexander Lukashenko and inciting hatred.

Slava Komissarenko, who is currently in the Czech Republic and was tried ‘in absentia’, was convicted of insulting and slandering the Belarusian head of state, and inciting racial, national, religious, or other social hatred or discord, the state-run BelTA news agency reported on Monday.

If he returns to Belarus, the comedian will serve a six-year sentence at a medium-security penal colony. The ruling can be appealed.

Komissarenko turned to political humor after a wave of anti-government protests in Belarus in 2020. The comedian repeatedly commented on the unrest in his stand-up gigs, supporting the opposition when it refused to recognize the results of the election, in which Lukashenko won a sixth term in office.

During his live shows in recent years, Komissarenko repeatedly joked about Lukashenko and impersonated the president, portraying him a hapless and needy person.

Legal proceedings against the performer were launched in August.

“You might be aware that I am wanted by the Belarusian KGB [security agency]. Judging by the fact that you can always find me and they cannot, Lukashenko does not indulge them with mobile internet,” he told the audience during a gig that same month.

Komissarenko made a name for himself on Russian TV and previously moved to Moscow. In 2021, after his performances were banned in Belarus, he obtained a Russian passport..

However, he left Russia in early 2022, citing persecution by the Belarusian security services. At the time, the KGB described the comedian’s claims as “complete nonsense.”

Since then, the 39-year-old has resided in Ukraine, Türkiye, Poland, and the Czech Republic. He has also been increasingly critical of Russia since the escalation of the conflict with Ukraine in February 2022.

Pressure against Amazon soy moratorium threatens progress against deforestation

The far right colonial landowners of Brazil retain immense power and force the State to approve Ecocide for Private Profit by all means necessary.

Dec 30, 2024 by Actualidad.R via thefreeonline at https://wp.me/pIJl9-Fkc Telegram https://t.me/thefreeonline

The pact reached in 2006 prohibits companies that sell soybeans from buying grains from deforested areas, which has helped slow agricultural expansion on forest lands.

The historic soy moratorium, a voluntary agreement that since 2006 has been essential in Brazil to reduce deforestation in the Amazon, faces serious threats, as parliamentarians and agricultural producers seek to weaken or eliminate the restrictions imposed by the pact.

More than 60 organizations have published a manifiesto in defense of this moratorium, considered an example of how large-scale agricultural production can be combined with environmental responsibility.

This pact prohibits soybean trading companies from purchasing grains that come from deforested areas, which has contributed to slowing agricultural expansion on forest lands.

Deforestation in Brazil: Soya farming

However, organizations such as Greenpeace Brazil, WWF-Brazil and the Socio-Environmental Institute (ISA) warn that the elimination of this agreement could trigger a significant increase in forest clearing.
Significant setbacks

According to the manifesto, if the pact is eliminated, this could bring with it significant setbacks in environmental protection policies, affecting both the Amazon and preservation initiatives throughout the country.

Among the risks mentioned, those associated with bills under discussion in the National Congress that seek to eliminate tax incentives for companies that implement environmental criteria, indirectly promoting deforestation, stand out.

Brazil’s Jair Bolsanaro calls new Amazon fires a “lie”

The document also describes attempts to end the moratorium as “irresponsible and ignorant”, especially in the context of the climate and biodiversity crises.

“There is strong pressure from the most conservative sectors of agribusiness to eliminate each and every restriction on predatory agriculture. The soy moratorium is the hot topic and the attack will not stop,” said Cristiane Mazzetti, coordinator of the Greenpeace Brazil Forests campaign.

Mazzetti urged participating companies not to give in to these pressures and not to spoil “the results of 18 years of the moratorium” that they helped to build.

“Zero deforestation is a growing market demand and the moratorium is a fundamental measure in this regard, which adds to the global effort to keep global warming at 1.5 ºC,” she added.

The SDF HAVE ENTERED MANBIJ CITY ON THE EASTERN SIDE

from Kurdis Cat via thefreeonline at https://wp.me/pIJl9-FjC Telegram https://t.me/thefreeonline

There is new Hope that the revolutionary city may be recaptured from Turkey’s jihadi mercenary gangs

The SDF HAVE ENTERED MANBIJ CITY ON THE EASTERN SIDE

…………..

How MANBIJ Fell… Wed December 11, 2024

The Rape of Manbij/Rojava- Horror atrocities by mercenaries with Turkish/NATO Air Support, US Complicity and Absolute Impunity – Videos- 18+

Worse than ISIS.. but okayed by West .

US again betrays its Rojava allies. Manbij was freed from ISIS with aid from US/Coalition Air Cover – now the US stands idly by and watches similar Jihadi hatchetmen, enabled by Turkish/NATO air power, butchering prisoners and hospital patients… looting and destroying a unique multi-ethnic social experiment… Even letting their Israeli proxy bomb Qamishlo

SNA mercenaries Cheer and Execute civilians in the streets of Manbij.. videos.. 10/12/24 – Afusellaments als carrers

The images that appear seem to be just the tip of an iceberg of bloodthirsty hatred by the Turks. Here are some examples:
The self-proclaimed Syrian National Army (SNA) is a group of Turkish financed Islamist factions including the jihadists of Ahrar al-Sham. Without engaging in combat with the Assad regime, these groups have as their main, if not sole, objective the extermination of the indigenous Kurdish minority of northern Syria.

Cold-blooded murders, in the streets, of handcuffed people– Assassinats a sang freda, als carrers, de persones emmanillades

They have done so in the Afrin canton since 2018. Since November 27, they bypassed the SAA positions and headed towards the refugee camps (expelled by them from Afrin in 2018) of Shebha and Tell Rifaat and expelled some 200,000 people, mostly Kurds, killing an unknown number and trapping thousands of others who are still unaccounted for.

Kidnappings of women– Segrestos de dones

There are witnesses to the murders and even beheadings of Yazidis and Kurds among the civilians.

The Jihadists are proud of their atrocities, often posting them on Twitter
Those who were able to flee reached Tabqa and Raqqa. The former has been attacked by pro-Turks but is currently resisting.

Abuse, kidnap and Rape of Kurdish girls– Maltractaments a noies kurdes

In the Manbij region, terrible murders are being recorded, and there are also looting, kidnappings and disappearances of people, executed in cold blood.

The main front for Erdogan’s puppets is the city of Manbij, with a majority Arab population, which is defended by the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) to the west of the Euphrates River.
