anarkismo.net: On the Recent Massacre in Suruç, Turkish
Kurdistan by Black Rose Anarchist Federation (BRRN) (ca, pt)

Bombing in Suruç ---- At noon, in the border town of Suruç in Turkish Kurdistan, a bomb 
ripped through the bodies of communists, socialists, and anarchists who were on their way 
to assist in the rebuilding of Kobanê. Tens of people were killed, many more injured. One 
Black Rose member was present assisting in preparations for a campaign to support the 
rebuilding of Kobanê and Rojava, but was uninjured in the blast. ---- This demonstrates 
the attitude of the state and is indicative of a sad reality: Turkey is continuing its 
murderous policy towards the Kurds and this attack can be seen as a fulfillment of 
Erdogan's promise to stop Rojava by any means necessary. In the coming months, Black Rose 
will continue to broaden the scope in organizing committees and networks in solidarity 
with Rojava. We hope for your support.

On the Recent Massacre in Suruç, Turkish Kurdistan


Today we mourn the loss of friends and comrades and renewing our commitment to an 
international revolutionary struggle in their memory.

At noon, in the border town of Suruç in Turkish Kurdistan, a bomb ripped through the 
bodies of communists, socialists, and anarchists who were on their way to assist in the 
rebuilding of Kobanê. Tens of people were killed, many more injured. One Black Rose member 
was present assisting in preparations for a campaign to support the rebuilding of Kobanê 
and Rojava, but was uninjured in the blast.

A half an hour after the bombing, the city of Suruç shook once more as a second massive 
bomb hit the border in Kobanê. News reports indicate that this was a car bomb attack that 
was stopped by self-defense forces which minimized causalties.

The trip to Kobanê was organized by the Marxist-Leninist organization Sosyalist Gençlik 
Dernekleri Federasyonunun (SGDF). They brought together youth-entire families-from across 
Turkey and beyond to give revolutionary support to the developing social revolution in 
Syrian Kurdistan. Up to 300 people were preparing to cross the embargoed border to help 
rebuild the city, learn about its political developments, and link the struggles of the 
Turkish left with the Kurdish movement.

After the bombing, the first to respond was armored military vehicles of the occupying 
Turkish state that rolled down the street in front of the Amara Cultural Center to block 
the street and point their guns at the recently injured and trauma-ridden revolutionaries. 
It took ambulances so long to arrive on the scene that private cars had to be organized to 
take the injured to the hospital. The military and police were on the scene in minutes, 
managing to form a line of riot police before the first ambulances arrived. Their 
alertness should come as no surprise since they had been actively harassing the bus loads 
of revolutionaries coming to Suruc that morning, monitoring many of them, and had made 
calls to their families telling them that their young relative was going to join 
terrorists in Rojava.

This demonstrates the attitude of the state and is indicative of a sad reality: Turkey is 
continuing its murderous policy towards the Kurds and this attack can be seen as a 
fulfillment of Erdogan's promise to stop Rojava by any means necessary. In the coming 
months, Black Rose will continue to broaden the scope in organizing committees and 
networks in solidarity with Rojava. We hope for your support.
Biji Rojava! Rojava Lives!
