IFA statement (International of Anarchist Federations) - Against the terror of the State and religion. Freedom for the people.

In Rojava, the west Kurdistan, in Syrian territory, the Islamic State (Isis) attacked the 
city of Kobane, close to borders of Turkey, and the population is now facing the brutality 
of this authoritarian / obscurantist force. ---- Kurdistan, and other regions, is affected 
by violence the Islamic State (ISIS). The resistance of the people is admirable. These are 
the real forces of progress. There is, indeed, nothing to expect from military games in 
the United States, the European Union and regional powers. The various States involved are 
using the area as a battleground for their own strategy and to sell their weapons. ---- 
The role of the religious government of Turkey is crucial in the region. It prevents with 
violence the flow of refugee families then it leaves the Islamist fighters to Syria. So it 
is clear that Turkish government is effectively in war with the Kurdish people.

In the Kurdish regions, despite the war, a proclaimed ?democratic? revolution appears to 
be taken with a form of ?democratic confederalism?. All this encourages us to continue our 
work and our support to the people of Kurdistan, and elsewhere, fighting against religious 
barbarism and against state oppression. From that position, we are against any military 
intervention by world or regional powers. We know that any statist intervention will act 
against social transformations.

Women are heavily invested in all aspects of society and resistance groups. This is a 
revolution of women against machismo and feudal society. This is probably one of the most 
important aspects of these events.

Anarchists in Turkey provide assistance to refugees and those who fight the advance of 
Islamic State. We call on all anarchist organizations to organize demonstrations in 
support outside embassies in the street, in every possible place; to disseminate 
information and build direct support with anarchist organizations in Turkey, Kurdistan and 
elsewhere who are fighting against the religious barbarism and state oppression.

For the emancipation of the people.
International solidarity.
