(en) France, Alternative Libertaire AL A message anarchists locally: "The revolution will win in Koban?!" (fr, pt)

[machine translation]

Comrades of the Revolutionary Anarchist Action (DAF) came to the aid of the city of Koban? 
, besieged by the Islamic State (Daech). One party entered the town. Others stayed in a 
village on Turkish territory, Boyde. They and they send us this message. ---- In Boyde, 
Oct. 8, 2014. 24th day of the siege of Koban? by the Islamic State (Daech). While in all 
border towns, activists and advocates are rampart of their bodies to deter attacks, the 
entire population, throughout the region, rose up to prevent the fall of Koban?. ---- For 
nearly three weeks, we act as human shields in the village of Boyde, west of Koban?. The 
last two days, explosions and the clash of arms has intensified in the suburbs and the 
city center. At the same time, Turkish troops have increased their pressure. All those who 
approached the border, one side or the other, have been targeted by tear gas. The village 
where we are has been attacked like this Tuesday. Several people were also injured by live 
ammunition.

Human chain at the village of Boyde
These attacks on border villages mean that men Daech are themselves allowed to cross the 
border. The support of the Turkish Republic to Daech obviously here. Of course, it's not 
one thing that is obvious.

We learned that one of the commanders leading the attack on Daech Koban? was shot by 
YPG-YPJ [ 1 ] However, the fighting has not diminished in intensity; they have hardly 
stopped the day.

We now know that the explosions we hear are the result of YPG-YPJ. The militia and militia 
deserted streets of downtown to take the jihadists ambushed and, apparently, this tactic 
worked.

In meetings in the village, some rumors sensation. One of them is the fear inspired by the 
fighting of YPJ jihadists. Indeed, Daech embodies the state terror, the massacre ... but 
also patriarchy. And jihadists afraid they can not be regarded as "martyrs" if they are 
killed by a woman. Hence their fear of facing the YPJ. I must say that when they encounter 
them, the combatants are ruthless. This struggle YPJ is that of freedom against patriarchy.

Activist DAF Koban?
These last two days, the uprising in Kurdistan and in the cities of Anatolia gives a 
feeling of invincibility of organized people. This uprising builds confidence in Koban? in 
border villages and throughout the Rojava [ 2 ] Every time a brother or a sister falls, 
our pain is sharp, but even stronger our anger and determination. Funeral ceremonies begin 
kneeling mutate rapidly wacky dances, pounding our feet shakes the earth and transform our 
pain into a real rage.

That's all we need here. For freedom and the revolution we hope, despite everything.

Long live the popular resistance Koban?!
Vive la revolution in Rojava!
live the revolutionary anarchist Action!
