translated from proyecto-kahlo.com     In southern Europe it’s starting to get warm already and soon we ladies will face the dreaded # operaciónbikini. What’s better than a gallery of stretch marks to give us a boost of self-esteem when we need it? Lots of ‘Fridas’ pose proudly for naturalizing what nobody dares to make visible.

proud to be hairy

Last year we set out to face the warm weather by making our hair visible ,woman’s hair, body hair that appears from all our corners and often seems that it should not be there. Continue reading “Tiger Women.. Proud of our Stretch Marks”

Syrian Kurds and Allies say YES to partial Ceasefire

The SDF has added their support to the ceasefire Saturdaytimthumb

The Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) today announced in a brief note that they are “absolutely committed to the cease-fire.”

The alliance, formed by groups Assyrians (SFM HSNB), Arabs (Al Sanadid, the Jaysh Thuwar …) and Kurdish (YPG, YPJ) have pledged to stop the fighting on Saturday, February 27, according to the agreement between the United States and Russia.YPG70

Comment:

The ceasefire is not applicable to the successful campaign by the SDF (mainly Kurds) against ISIS in NE Syria with US air support . Also fighting with Al Nusra (Al Quaeda affiliated) would be allowed to continue, with Russian air support.

But Turkey would still be hostile, Al Nusra are Turkey’s main protegee north of Aleppo and are battling SDF forces from the Afrin Kurdish enclave, with Turkish artillery support. This means Turkey would have an ‘excuse’ to continue shelling Kurdish areas.

On the whole, however, the proposed ceasefire would be good for the SDF front, they could still resist their main enemies, ISIS and Al Nusra, the other militias and the Syrian Army would become potential allies, and their unique progressive experiment in anti-state municipal anarchism could continue.

The SDF have also announced victory in the mainly Kurdish suburb of Bani Zayd in Aleppo city, where they were heavily attacked by Al Nusra for 6 days. If they can hold it the success further tightens the noose on the Al Nusra dominated part of Aleppo city. See report translated in English below.

Turkey’s ‘refugees games’ threaten Greek sovereignty; NATO manoeuvres revealed

f-eutension-b-20160225-200x200 Just some of the hundreds of thousands of displaced refugees

NATO warships led by Germany are picking up refugees trying to cross to Greece and perceived to be in danger, only to then return them to Turkey. But Turkey, although party to this arrangement, is now refusing to co-operate, despite receiving 3 billion euros from the EU to ‘manage’ the refugee crisis and a promise that by the end of the year all Turks will be ‘visa free’ to roam Europe. The real reason that Turkey is creating this refugee ‘blockage’ is about Greek sovereignty. Turkey not only wants to extort more funds from the Euro coffers to set up more refugee ‘removal centres’, but is happy to use the refugees as a bargaining tool to try and force territorial concessions – specifically the Greek islands of Agathonisi and Farmakonisi. Meanwhile NATO is trying to defuse tensions, though recent manoeuvres…
