From Anarchist Agency Just over a decade ago, a small group of anarchist media activists started what they defined as an anarchist PR project—Agency was officially launched. As we develop a vision and plans for the next decade, we want to share how Agency came to be, how it has evolved, what we have accomplished,…

A man and a woman arrived in a yellow taxi and attacked the huge Military Airforce Production Complex that produces the drones massacring civilians in Rojava in Syria and Sinjar in Iraq, 5 people were killed. The two attackers were also killed .. A media circus ensuedover the ‘Horrific Terrorism’
Türkiye’s state controlled NTV claimed one of them detonated a bomb while the other entered the building.
TUSAS manufactures US F-16 fighter jets under license from General Dynamics as well as attack helicopters, and huge drone industry for the Turkish military and export.
Turkiye blamed the PKK Kurdish guerilla resistance and named the two fighters which appeared to derail the long awaited rapprochament with the heavily oppressed Kurds.
However it now appears that secret talks were already well under way, offering the legendary Ocalan parole after 25 years in isolation prison – in exchange for persuading the PKK leaders to “lay down their arms” and begin a new peace process.
Türkiyesays it yet again hit ‘Kurdish targets’ blaming the PKK , killing at least 12 in Syria, according to the Syrian Defence Forces (SDF) and more in Iraq in ongoing ‘revenge attacks’ for the attack on its Aerospace and Defense complex. Turkey, like Israel boasts continuing genocidal invasions, three in Syria, bombing Rojava and Northern Iraq.
The PKK did nor totally deny the attack which may therefore be the work of a disaffected splinter group unhappy with attempts to stop the war wen they have defeated Turkey’s latest offensive on their mountain hideouts in Iraq.

It said “all kinds of precautions” were taken to prevent harm to civilians.
Message from Leader Abdullah Ocalan who may be released to begion Peace Process -“The Nelson Mandela” of Kurdistan
Omar Ocalan conveyed a message from leader Abdullah Ocalan, stating: The leader said that ‘if the conditions are right, I have the theoretical and practical power to move this process from a ground of conflict and violence to a legal and political ground.”
The PKK represents nearly 20 million unrecognized and heavily repressed Kurdish people in Türkiye, and many beyond, and Ocalan is widely hailed as their leader due to his practical revolutionary works, his transformation of the PKK from terrorism to horizontal democracy and feminism, and his successful organizing of two long ceasefires and the ‘Kurdish Spring’ (destroyed by Erdogan in 2015 with a military blitz when Kurdish reps threatened to hold the balance of power).
Two of the sources said that Ocalan had been allowed recently to speak directly to the PKK leadership that is based in the Qandil Mountains in Iraqi Kurdistan. “Ocalan told them it was time to discuss laying down their arms,” one of the sources said. https://t.co/lXHfiFp7WB
All they asked for was peace and horizontal democracy: This is what Erdogan did to Kurdish cities just over the border in Türkiyein 2015 as the west kept silent.

Western mass media publishes Turkish SHOCK HORROR REVENGE stories on the attack on the War Weapons Center but never a word on the YEARS of constant Turkish state terrorist attacks on the Kurds, especially those in Nth Syria.
Erdogan ordered the years long shelling of infrastructure and Drone Murder Campaign in Nth Syria after International pressure to avoid a fourth illegal Invasion.
It remains to be seen whether a new Peace Process could include Rojava in NE Syria which is run by the multi-ethnic AANES and their ‘Kurdish-led SDF army. The many Kurdish organisations in Rojava deny direcy links toin the PKK but Turkiye and the west always claim they are the same thing, and they do all follow the revolutionary non-separatist of Ocalan.
Rohava is in a dangerous position as it gets protection from the USA since it became the proxy army which destroyed the ISIS HQ and controlled area and continues fighting ISIS resurgents and managing the huge Al Hol ISIS ptison camp.
AANES is attacked from all sides and are accused of being US proxies in their support for Israeli genocidal wars, although the small US force is against their ideology, has never intervened to defend them from Turkish massacres and invasions and are maintained more as an anti Irani base. The oil resources are small with no refinery.
The US has agreed in principle to finally close its neighbouring Iraqi bases, now also under attack from the Islamic Resistance militias, which would leave their few Syrian forces totally isolated. A US pullout could be the signal for Turkiye, and Syria to attack and carve up Rojava .
Russia cannot afford to block Turkiye`s imperialist ambitions and the Iranian regime is suppressinjg its own Kurdish minority and abhors the strong women’s freedom movement in Rojava

Here are just a few of HUNDREDS of suppressed reports on Turkish terrorist attacks that merit as much attention as the attack on Erdogan’s weapons center
The Turkish occupation expanded its shelling of cities in the region, as its drones targeted the electricity distribution station and its surroundings in the city of Amuda.
The General Command explained that the Turkish occupation targeted populated villages, service and vital facilities, and a number of security points using various weapons.
The General Command stated that the Turkish occupation targeted with 55 artillery shells and 11 mortar shells the countryside of Tal Tamr city in Jazera Canton, namely: “Tal al-Ward Gharbi, Khirbet al-Sha’ir, al-Rabi’at, al-Tawila, Tal Tawil, Kifji, Umm al-Kif”, and the villages of the Shahba regions “Umm al-Qura, Tanb, Tal Rifaat” where there are tens of thousands of refugees from Turkey’s ethnic cleansing with total impunity of Afrin..
It also targeted vital and service facilities in both the Jazera and Euphrates using drones and warplanes, as follows: “Amouda power station, grain silos in Qamishli – oil station in Kojarat – fuel transfer station (twice), al-Sa’ida oil station (3 times), Awda oil station (twice), Amuda city bakery – Kobani city bakery, Kobani power station (3 times), Rumelan oil station (10 times), 8 civilian facilities in Qamishli, Derik and Kobani)”.
The General Command confirmed that the drones targeted 4 checkpoints of their forces in the Euphrates Canton, and 6 checkpoints in Jazera Canton. As a result of the targeting, 25 people were injured and 12 lost their lives, including two children.
Continuing its assault on infrastructure in the Jazera Canton, the Turkish occupation also targeted oil and gas stations, as well as electricity conversion stations in the eastern countryside of the canton.

The bombing caused significant material damage to the targeted stations, in addition to injuring a worker at the targeted gas plant, according to an initial toll.
The Turkish bombing on the villages of Samouqa, Tal Madiq, Tal Gigan and Shahba Dam resulted in the injury of 4 children, one of whom (Fares Ibrahim, 13 years old) later martyred from his injures.
