In November-December 1986, the Devaquet bill disrupted the facsimiles and the lycées. The
movement is massive, and undergoes the police violence that culminates with the
assassination of Malik Oussekine. The revolt is profound, a new militant generation
asserts itself. ---- 1986 marks the return of the right to business. Surprising on the
liberal wave coming from the United States (Reagan) and Great Britain (Thatcher), and
relying on the rallying of the Socialist Party to these same neoliberal policies, the
government of Jacques Chirac undertakes a policy of privatizing banks And public
enterprises, most of them nationalizations of 1981. ---- Under the pressure of the
National Front, which is advancing at every election and has elected 35 deputies to the
National Assembly in March 1986 thanks to proportional representation, the right-wing
majority intends to attack the right of the soil to limit access to French nationality .
Finally, at the Ministry of the Interior, the Pasqua-Pandraud tandem embodies a
reinforcement of security policies. But he quickly encountered a student resistance and
then a railroad that showed a remarkable capacity for self-organization.
The will to privatize the new power also affects national education even if it does not
take the same forms. Higher education is the target of liberal, conservative and
corporatist attacks on the part of right-wing parties, but also of pressure groups and
academic universities headed by the National University Union ( UNITED).
To see: the beautiful slideshow
photographer Jean-Claude Coutausse
With the bill of the Minister of Higher Education Alain Devaquet, these lobbies are
satisfied with a good part of their demands among which the autonomy of the universities
and therefore the return to an organization in corporatist faculties as before 1968. The
universities Could issue their degrees, which would put an end to their national character
and create a hierarchy between the universities according to their means. But what sets
young people on the streets is the introduction of a selection at the entrance of the
university in addition to the bac and the sharp increase in tuition fees, thus reinforcing
the class character Of higher education.
Facs wake up
The first mobilizations began with protests in several cities (Brest, Bordeaux, Marseille,
Montpellier, Quimper) between 30 April and the end of May.
They increased in autumn 1986. Both Unef, Unef-ID ("independent and democratic", close to
the PS) and Unef-SE ("student solidarity", close to the PCF) Law adopted in the Council of
Ministers on July 11, but do not openly claim its withdrawal.
In October, as soon as the academic year of the students wishing to act for the withdrawal
of this bill constitute collectives of mobilization in many universities. The latter bring
together student unionists who do not accept the oppressive opposition of the two Unf,
libertarians, Trotskyists, or students without affiliation.
These collectives carry out information and awareness-raising work. They make known the
text of the counter-reform and their critical analyzes through billboards, information
booths, leaflets and general assemblies, which then have a modest but ever-increasing
participation.
Student unions opposed to the Devaquet bill and these collectives are calling to
participate in the demonstrations and the public service strike day on October 21st.
Student mobilization is much stronger than in the spring. On the same day 400 students
from the University of Caen, gathered in a general assembly on the initiative of Unef-ID,
animated in this city by militants of the Young Communist Revolutionaries and the
Communist Revolutionary League, Launched an appeal calling for the withdrawal of the
Devaquet project and calling for the establishment of union mobilization committees
throughout France, both unionized and non-unionized.
However, the UNEF-ID remains wait-and-see and its national office refuses to call a
strike. For their part, a dozen mobilization committees meet in Caen on the basis of
Caen's appeal. They called for the general strike and the holding of a coordination
meeting of all the committees at the faculty of Jussieu (Paris) on 21 November.
Blood on the pavement
On November 17, the general assembly student of Villetaneuse votes the strike. It was
followed by that of Caen on the 18th. The strike spread immediately to the Paris region
and then to the other regions.
The UNEF-ID, overwhelmed, is obliged to rally to the movement. The strike became
widespread and spread to high schools. The national high school committee is holding its
first meeting on 25 November.
A first demonstration with a national rise in Paris is held on 27 November, it brings
together hundreds of thousands of students and high school students, while the deputies
debate the bill in the National Assembly.
The government began to be seriously shaken to the point that Monory, the Minister of
National Education, announced the re-examination of the disputed points of the project.
On 4 December the demonstration is even more massive, ending in clashes between groups of
demonstrators and the police at the Invalides. On the night of December 5-6, policemen
beat a student, Malik Oussekine, as he returned home. He dies as a result of the blows
received.
Devaquet resigned on 6 December. The National Student Coordination calls on the population
and trade union confederations to support and protect by their presence demonstrations
against police repression. In several cities, students and high-school students go to
companies to meet with trade unions for this purpose, sometimes at times of union
information, EDF, the post office, The SNCF and Renault in particular. Chirac, under the
pressure of the youth supported by the majority of the population, finally withdraws the
bill on December 8.
To Malik and Abdel
In Paris on 10 December 1986, an enormous demonstration in memory of Malik Oussekine,
assassinated on 6 December by police "voltigeurs", and Abdel Benyahia, killed by a drunken
policeman in a cafe on 5 December. (C) Jean-Claude Coutausse
On 10 December between 300,000 and 400,000 people silently demonstrated in Paris with the
slogan "Never again". The Student Coordination pronounces its self-dissolution on December
12 after calling for the holding of states general with a view to proposing another reform
of the University. They were held in Saint-Denis in March 1987.
The strike lasted three weeks but it marks a whole generation. Many young people are
becoming conscious and emerging from the lethargy in which the PS-PCF government
experience plunged the social movement from 1981 to 1986. But what remains one of the main
achievements of this movement is its capacity for self-organization Committees, strike
committees, coordination). The latter rubbed off on the great railway strike in December
1986-January 1987 , those teachers or nurses in 1987 in 1988. This influence is durable
and can be appreciated in the evolution of trade unionism, since this form of organization
Is then claimed by a party of the CFDT opposition, then by the trade unions SUD.

IN THE FIRE OF ACTION: THE CREATION OF THE YOUNG LIBERAL GROUP
To say that libertarians were like fish in water in November-December 1986. Some are then
organisé.es in the Anarchist Federation in the Union of Anarchist Communists Workers
(UTCL) or the Organization Communist liberation (OCL). Most are not affiliated with these
organizations and act in local libertarian collectives with different sensitivities. They
are found in strikes and in self-organizing structures, more at the local than at the
national level.
"Clash" No. 9 (January-February 1990)
In 1987, the Collective Young Libertarians launched its newspaper, "Clash", of which 15
issues will be released until June 1991.
Some of these collectives try to co-ordinate notably the initiative of the Student
Coordination Student (CLE) of Nanterre, which has about twenty members in this fac. But
despite a meeting in this sense, the call of the CLE does not lead to any structuring.
This is the reason why the young people of the UTCL create the Collective Young
Libertarians (CJL) both distinct and close to the UTCL. The CJL broadcasts its first
leaflet on December 10th in Paris, during the great demonstration in memory of Malik
Oussekine. It develops its activities and settlements at the national level until 1991,
when the majority of its members decided to participate in the creation of alternative
libertarian.

The Anarchist Action & Organizing from Kassel declares its solidarity with the protest
against the inauguration of Donald Trump today. Our thoughts are with all who resist the
racist, sexist and capitalist mindset, that continues to gain ground ever since the
election campaigns. ---- Our answer to this is: Whoever they vote for, we are
ungovernable! ---- We associate ourselves with the call No Peaceful Transition from the
crimethinc collective: ---- "Trump stands for tyranny, greed, and misogyny. He is the
champion of neo-nazis and white Nationalists, of the police who kill the Black, Brown and
poor on a daily basis, of racist border agents and sadistic prison guards, of the FBI and
NSA who tap your phone and read your email. He is the harbinger of even more climate
catastrophe, deportation, discrimination, and endless war. He continues to deny the
existence of climate change, in spite of all the evidence, putting the future of the whole
human race at stake. The KKK, Vladimir Putin, Golden Dawn, and the Islamic State all
cheered his victory. If we let his inauguration go unchallenged, we are opening the door
to the future they envision.
Trump's success confirms the bankruptcy of representative democracy. Rather than using the
democratic process as an alibi for inaction, we must show that no election could
legitimize his agenda. Neither the Democrats nor any other political party or politician
will save us-they just offer a weaker version of the same thing. If there is going to be
positive change in this society, we have to make it ourselves, together, through direct
action.
From day one, the Trump presidency will be a disaster. #DisruptJ20 will be the start of
the resistance. We must take to the streets and protest, blockade, disrupt, intervene, sit
in, walk out, rise up, and make more noise and good trouble than the establishment can
bear. The parade must be stopped. We must delegitimize Trump and all he represents. It's
time to defend ourselves, our loved ones, and the world that sustains us as if our lives
depend on it-because they do."
"If you are living outside the US, you can take action at US embassies, borders, or other
symbols of neocolonial power. Our allegiance is not to "making America great again," but
to all of humanity and the planet." #DisruptJ20

O Mohamad Abdelgawad, an Egyptian refugee, asylum seeker in Greece, started from December
13, 2016 hunger strike in the police station of Mytilini. Today, after 38 days has been
transferred to Vostaneio Hospital Mytilene. Claiming to be granted political asylum and
not to be deported to Turkey and from there to Egypt, where he threatened his life because
of the targeting of the Sisi regime, when a video released on the Internet that captures
murderous actions against political opponents of the regime. ---- The case of Mohamad A.
Is not an isolated incident. It is the result of the criminal policy of the Greek state
massively reject the political asylum for thousands of refugees resulting in their return
to their countries where they expect torture, imprisonment and in many cases death.
The coalition Syriza-ANEL, having long been divested its humanitarian mask, passes to the
full unfolding of anti-immigrant agenda that is fully aligned with that of the European
Union and international organizations. Designs and implements the policy of isolation and
ghettoisation of tens of thousands of refugees and migrants in concentration camps
throughout the country. A policy that was originally built on the "humanitarian" pretext
and now takes full aggressive characteristics against refugees and migrants through their
abandonment in the cold and the snow in the middle of nowhere, through deportations and
detentions, through concerted national and para attacks in hospitality and solidarity
structures.
As anarchists / s stand against the criminalization of people and restricting their free
movement. We do not recognize any state the right to impose any kind of artificial
arrangements divisions between people on the basis of sex, race, origin, religion etc. We
consciously solidarity in every repressed and oppressed of this world and strive together
for life and dignity. We aim to link the struggles of migrants and refugees in the project
of a total subversion of the state and capital. Together all the exploited and oppressed
of this world to resist the murderous designs of the ruling. For placing the social and
class self-organization, the common struggles locals and immigrants against poverty,
misery, fear, racism and state and parastatal terrorism. Promote the ongoing struggle for
global social revolution, anarchy and libertarian communism.

I have been home for exactly 13 days. For the sake of finding a fitting analogy I have
always understood Zimbabwe to be like the story of the children of Israel stuck in Egypt
under a Pharaoh whose heart had been hardened while we wait to one day wake up in our
promised land. This analogy is important for me as it creates specific boundaries, limits
my excited imagination and almost grounds the present to a particular past. ---- In any
case the current Zimbabwean crisis has been well documented and so repeating it here won't
help. However at the risk of stepping on a few toes I found a Zimbabwe that has become so
busy with making bricks even though as further punishment the Pharaoh has taken away the
straw needed to make the bricks, with a tall order to continue to produce the same amount
of bricks as before.
The regime destroyed any healthy form of industry and severely cut itself from its
financial feeding source. Now they have employed police, city council and Zimra to become
state fund-raisers ticketing for almost everything a citizen is supposed to receive from
the state but the state cannot provide. Somebody needs to take time and balance me here.
These vampires are located on almost every second street corner. Added to this is the
liquidity crisis in the country with banks issuing as little as 20 dollars a day per
individual who can easily be fined up to 60 dollars in one day for driving to work, for
not having 500 dollars to renew a shop licence that the state will issue knowing very well
that to raise 500 dollars would take 25 days of standing in long queues in the bank that
will only give 20 dollars per day per withdrawal. People have been getting their cars
impounded, being charged daily fees. Overall, after a month the fine is equal to you
buying another second hand vehicle.
Corruption normally can be quantified when being compared to existing norms. Non corrupt
norms must exist to make corruption appear deviant but in a norm-less country where a
state of anomie has occurred corruption has become the exchange of breaths, Zimbabwe is
the Wild West.
The Pharaoh took away the straw that was needed to make the bricks, and then instructed
the slaves to continue making the bricks with their own straw. I remember I was once proud
of my country, when I was immature and I didn't know better. That we didn't protest, we
didn't fight back. That the regime would do this to us and we as a people would figure out
a way around it, call it innovation, call it entrepreneurship. We literally are funding
our own oppression, we steal from our children to feed a regime that feeds on our children.
We are that frog that was put in water in a science experiment, and every now and again
the scientists would adjust the temperature of the water and the frog in response would
adjust its body temperature. The frog never allowed itself to feel the water getting hot.
Eventually the frog was boiled alive.
Voting next year won't change a thing, it won't even make a dent to the problem. Stop
making bricks, stop funding your own oppression.
Get out of the damn pot!

Thanks to the birth of science called statistics we have available and useful data that
can not go on. Famous first statistical test, for example, argued that men die more often
than women and one adult man and one woman feels. It was evidence of God's purpose
monogamy. That was three hundred years ago. ---- But we do not stop progress. Gone are
times when we are astonished statistics, according to which per capita Amsterdam accrue
daily 101 herring and Australia every half hour car crosses one person. Today, the
statistics used by thousands of professionals, mainly to improve the quality of our lives.
That those who kill poverty, frost, poor diet or unavailability of health care remained
forever young, attractive workers and citizens.
And so we have, for example, the average salary is satisfactory. Who would have wondered
that it reaches the most people. The number of homeless people umrzlých every year on the
street is insignificant statistical variation that can not be compared with those lucky
millions of average citizens who do neumrzli. In addition to such things occur only in
very small portion of the year. So there is no reason to somehow deeply contemplate what
exactly is the company in whose wealthy capitals, people are dying because they do not
have a warm haven. Statistics can outwit even the ever-widening social scissors, on the
one hand and rising billionaires account for the other person feel after him in two
employment contracts with salaries fail. On average, all in the same. In order to have a
privileged minority, and much more, must have most of the other few.
The most useful professionals working with statistical data include ministerial committee.
Recently, one of them examined the scientific results of the statistics that said that
extending the time that people spend in retirement. Professionally therefore proposed a
solution: the retirement age should be flexible to change (ie. Increase) to the
statistical average length of age on state spending did not change (ie. Prolong). After a
study of a scientific institute of Charles University he confirmed that retired people are
healthy, full force, and if you want to keep earning, waited by the unprecedented
achievements. And more importantly, if it were not so many retirees, it would contribute
to the sustainability of the pension system.
Pity that the ministerial committee got involved older statistical calculations, according
to which in our workers live for an average of just under 34 years and women 36 years.
These figures relate to the years statistically similar to ours - capitalism is recovering
from the crisis and the productivity of industry growing again. So what prevents
bureaucrats, to propose even bolder solutions than later retirement? The pension system
would work best if people just in time upracovali to death, just like one hundred thirty
years ago.
Media and advertising professionals, those shock-workers propaganda centers of the
capitalist regime no longer has to carry the neoliberal svazáky to tiny hamlets and
peripheral settlements are meritorious task to convince the "old man's buff and a" right
to vote. Media consisting in the merciful hands of billionaires sufficient to maintain
proper indignation over all, who would want to eat away from the common pie without
toiling to exhaustion. After all the work that we just graciously give same economic
elite, is a blessing for us. And if someone feels badly paid, dangerous, tedious,
unnecessary, debilitating, etc., It is common ingrate who would prefer right-handed
hochštaplerové sent to labor camps, which would be for the good of the nation like built.
Pliant plebs, the same media will certainly not saying that that common pie he ate those
at the top, if possible, that in some tax haven. For that the plebs left a piece of crust,
for which they must fight among themselves within the achievements of "merit" as skin
color or employment contract. Extension of retirement it is the logic of this blessing.
We, the anarchists, but by no crust will not wash. We do not want to be average, nourished
in a society where someone has a different point of heaping again empty plate. Not only do
we want the whole pie for all, while we call PEKÁRNA PEOPLE!

Since October 2016, Mohamed A. has been in administrative arrestment in the police
headquarters of Lesvos as a prospective deportee, as his requests to be granted political
asylum have been rejected. He has been on hunger strike since 13/12/2016, demanding that
his deportation be cancelled, and that he is granted political asylum. ---- Since October
2016, Mohamed A. has been in administrative arrestment in the police headquarters of
Lesvos as a prospective deportee, as his requests to be granted political asylum have been
rejected. He has been on hunger strike since 13/12/2016, demanding that his deportation be
cancelled, and that he is granted political asylum. ---- While his health has been
constantly deteriorating in the past few days, he was transferred to Mytilene's Vostaneio
hospital on 10/1/2017, where the doctors decided that he needs to be hospitalised. He
returns to the penitentiary to pick up his stuff, while being assured by the police that
he will be transferred to the hospital when he is done.
However, he was held in the penitentiary, where the police told him that he will be taken
to the hospital on the next morning. When they finally took him to the hospital the next
day, they elicited his consent to not be hospitalised, as they reassured him in regard to
his case, and lied to him that they would transfer him to Athens in the next days.
On Thursday 12/1, the police commander announced to Mohamed that his deportation to Turkey
had been decided, through the readmission rules of the infamous EU-Turkey deal.
Following pressure from lawyers and people standing in solidarity with him, and while
being in a crucial physical and mental state, Mohamed went to the hospital once more,
where the doctors asserted that he has to be hospitalised, as he was exhibiting obvious
symptoms of fatigue (dizziness, fainting, trouble with sight), and administered saline
solution to him. His hospitalization resulted in his deportation being cancelled, which
was not the case for 10 other immigrants, who were deported in the morning of Friday 13/1.
For the time being, Mohamed A. continues to be hospitalised, while the police, obviously
disappointed in his deportation being cancelled, try every way they can to press the
doctors in the hospital to discharge him, so that they can resume his deportation. At the
same time, going against the hospital's rules, they have forbidden the entrance of people
standing in solidarity with Mohamed in his room.
The current situation -namely, attempting to deport an immigrant on the 32nd day of a
hunger strike- is unprecedented, for the obvious reason of the threat a hunger strike
poses on one's life. By doing so, the state and those that serve it take the existing
totalitarianism one step further. It's the workings of that same state that takes a
6-year-old hostage as revenge against his parents; the state that prohibits events in
public universities; the state that tortures thousands of immigrants in detention centres
on a daily basis, until their final deportation. It's a state that prides itself on the
jurisdiction to choose life or death for those who don't suit it, those that it views as
"surplus", those who resist.
Towards Mohamed we express our solidarity with anyone who daily faces the violence of
segregation, of racism and exploitation; our solidarity with the hundreds of immigrants
who have already been deported, and with the thousands who are trapped in the places of
detention, isolation and deportation; our solidarity with those who will fight with us
against the devaluation of our lives.
Solidarity with hunger striker Mohamed A.
Immediate concession to his demands
Stop all deportations

Inside the lunar landscape of Greek reality, as formulated in the period of capitalist
crisis, the right-left governments and the European Union, the social wealth bleeding
campaign puts another purpose: housing. After the all-out attack the state and capital to
work, agriculture, insurance, social liberties, the environment and social goods, raise
their targeted one of the few remaining materials supports the working class and
oppressed. ---- The antiasfalistiko bill passed by parliament, is another face of the new
war which has declared the local and international capital to employees, self-employed,
farmers, pensioners and by extension to all people who support with their incomes (
children, relatives with chronic diseases, etc.). After the new criminal bill in social
security, is more evident than ever that an all-out counterattack class, in the fields of
housing, insurance, health, leading to a concerted proletarian refusal of payment is
necessary.
Leaving now aside any pretext, the recent enactment of prerequisites in late 2015 by the
SYRIZA-ANEL government, paving the way for the advent and international finance capital
against the house. Manage Red loans and real estate longer enter into international
investment houses and funds, and in particular, as the guardian of the interests of
debtors against the above companies, displayed by the Bank of Greece and the Banking Code
of Conduct (!).
After 'legal drafting improvements "in November substantially slash whatever protections
existed until now, the framework of the auctions protection afstiropoieitai dramatically
timeouts remain unclear, while new abstract concepts are introduced as the" cooperative
borrower. " Clarifications, definitions, reviews etc., Pass all the banking crisis. The
government washes its hands, simply asking bankers to show understanding and grace (see.
Dragasakis November statements). Queues of debtors in local courts late last December, for
joining the relatively favorable settings Katseli Law, reveal the dimensions of the
threat. The application for inclusion in the Act itself is a costly process with the
required amount could rise to about 1000 euro. Even the claim to protect, handsomely paid.
From 1/1 / 2016, the possibility of zero dose abolished for those who have no income or
unable not only to pay their installments and to cope with daily expenses of their
families. In addition, it opened the process of free sale and reducing the costs of
auctioning. If that is the first auction prove fruitless, the second starts at half the
market value of the property, and if he too is not completed, the third starts from zero
starting price. Even if the property is auctioned at an amount lower than the commercial
value and the loan amount, the borrower still owes the bank the remaining amount. And
loses his home and still owes. In essence sought from borrowers repayment of the loan for
the second time. And this at a time when many of the red loans have essentially paid to
banks through taxes and bank recapitalization.
So if someone is unable to repay the banks the net profit will be marked "uncooperative"
and the house will be coming under the hammer or alternatively, the loan can be passed
into the hands of investment houses, who added convenience -as the banks do not expect
necessarily to the repayment of the loan will convert the property to a financial product
and gambling, multiplying their winnings. For us, the defense of the first housing and
preventing evictions and auction, is practical and class terms defend the social good
housing. Away from populist, radical Falsified fanfare, our policy framework for the fight
against auctions, is class protection of all social assets, part of which is the
dwelling-house.
The cancellation of an auction in the county court, shifts the process to two months after
creating a first time, a temporary defense forefront of our class. Therefore, the presence
of all of us in local courts is necessary. We must realize the need to pass from the
defense of housing, to guarantee as good for all and all; the necessity of passing from
defense to attack.
Starting from this position, and against all private and commercial exploitation of the
dwelling use but put the tool of the occupation as a form of militant recovery of social
wealth, to ensure housing for all the oppressed of the world, homeless / s, immigrants /
only three, laborers / behavior shows, the ftochodiavolous of our time.
As Anarchist Federation, part of the exploited and oppressed, we fight with our class by
any means. We will be there, the local courts, roads, neighborhoods, opposite to the
judges, bank representatives and managers of investment funds, in physical confrontation
if necessary with their uniformed protectors; with the poor, the unemployed, workers, the
oppressed with the exploited against the state and capital.
Do not let anyone just opposite to bank gangs

Rojava, and Kurdistan in general, is a region where "hackneyed secrets" are common. In
fact, if I make more or less subtle allusions to the local geopolitics and its actors, I
hope that your common sense or knowledge of the local situation will allow you to
understand. If this is not the case, you can always ask well-informed people.
With these adjustments made, I will now try to answer in a grouped way the various
questions, sometimes redundant, that I have received (nevertheless I assure you that I am
pleased that you are interested in the situation):
Why not say in which canton / region / city we find ourselves?
For security of course. The location of the academy must remain confidential. She is in
Rojava, that's all there is to know.
No need to look: these mountains are there to illustrate, they can not indicate the
location of the YPG camp.
Why so few images and videos?
There are several reasons for this.
Safety again, because a wide shot can tell a lot about where we are.
Then, because in many foreign volunteers there is this unbearable tendency to make the
setter in Rambo mode, and each passing day confirms it. There are people who come here to
look for media coverage, not political, but personal. Some even, I swear that it is true,
come only for the photos: they stay a week to a month, pose with the weapons, and leave
directly. I have nothing against making pictures, with or without weapons, but doing it
every day, as some do, is sickly narcissism.
The only acceptable media is therefore that which aims to make talk about the political
and social situation, the philosophical commitment, in short, the fabulous line (yeah I
repeat it is terrible).
I have a GoPro style camera with me, I assure you that I intend to use it, but the
majority of videos will probably never be available on Facebook. Maybe I will put them on
the internet on my return, if there is return.
For the photos, I promise to take some. I know that the revolutionary folklore on armed
struggle plays a lot, so I beg you not to be interested in that, even if it is an integral
part of our militant culture.
There are so many things I would like to show you but you can not take a picture. And the
situation is already too serious, so I intend to continue to mess, including for pictures,
as long as I can. A revolution without disconnection is a revolution that disconnects. The
best thing is that you come to see with your own eyes (if it continues I will create a
recruitment committee).
Why so much talk about the sporting aspect?
Here, we are making war, of course, but we participate first and foremost in a revolution.
An imperfect, incomplete, criticizing revolution, which nevertheless remains one of the
greatest chances our camp has ever had to triumph.
In this, all comrades are welcome. The problem is that we need soldiers (I hate this term
probably as much as you do but that's what it is all about), not cannon fodder (although
sometimes some strategic decisions leave Perplexed, I will tell you about it after having
personally lived it). A person who is already experiencing serious difficulties in
training will have little chance at the front. Likewise, and I observed it a few days ago,
that if it panics during an attack, even simulated, it puts itself in danger but also puts
its companions in danger.
But for those who have fear of not keeping pace, I assure you, the Rojava also needs
specialized civilians in certain areas (see the site Ypg-international.org ). Be aware,
however, that you will have to follow the minimum military training, if only to know how
to use a weapon. People's self-defense, we put it into practice here.
Also know that you will have to make a long walk to cross the border. So you have to do
sport, I can not stress this point too much.
What exactly is training?
As I said in one of my previous posts, it is split between sport, course, and practice.
The sport begins as soon as waking up, and focuses on endurance, muscle building, and
softening. This works very well for those who bother to force themselves. Every day, the
session increases in intensity. We do the exercises longer, we repeat them several times.
Every day is therefore more difficult and tiring. As I said, we are less than half to keep
up. But those who are in difficulty are not excluded for all that. They just do the best
they can.
The courses are sometimes long, but have the merit of wanting to be interactive. It is
appalling to see that many volunteers come here without knowing anything about the history
and geopolitics of Kurdistan and Syria.
We therefore study the socio-history of the region, current geopolitics, language and
ideology. YPG anxious that we were talking about bases Kurdish Kurmanji before being
assigned to a unit.
The rest of the training involves the strictly military aspect: scenarios, shooting
training with different types of weapons, night marches, tactical studies and strategies,
etc. Finally, we have to take care of the proper functioning of the camp: kitchen,
maintenance and housekeeping, guard.
What is the ideology course? What is the precise political line there?
"Ideology" is a term you often hear here. It sometimes tends to replace religion. Many YPG
/ YPJ oppose the Apoist ideology (that of Öcalan, who could almost be a figure of God) to
religion (Islam in the first place): the majority was raised in the Muslim religion, and
many Many have abandoned and openly criticized it as a counter-revolutionary and
regressive concept.
As far as apotism is concerned, it can be defined quite broadly. I briefly summarize it:
it is a political ideology stemming from the writings and the thought of Abdullah Öcalan,
which since it has appeared has not stopped molting. I mean to kill, because it remains
socialist (in the revolutionary sense) in all cases, and this I can affirm to the most
skeptical. On the first Marxist-Leninist, it has become more libertarian after Öcalan has
read Murray Bookchin . It now claims libertarian municipalism as a social base, and
democratic confederalism as a political framework. Hence the growing sympathy anarchists
for Rojava.
What is peculiar to Apoism is that it attaches itself particularly to the specific case of
Kurdistan. It claims the self-determination of the Kurdish people. Before in the form of a
socialist nation-state, now under that of an autonomous territory, without state or
government. Hence the nascent success of the revolution.
But more than a political idea, the apoïsme is a philosophy of life, influenced in
particular by Zoroastrianism (Zarathustra, that tell you something?). The three main
precepts are:
Think good / fair.
Speak well / just.
Act well / just.
Öcalan speaks therefore of an inner revolution above all, where everything must begin. He
believes that every revolutionary must ask himself these three questions:
What to do?
How to do?
Where to start?
Humility, anti-materialism, sharing, benevolence, ecologism, etc., are notions that are
imbued with apoism. Note that Ocalan is also vegetarian and does not eat eggs, and his
most loyal friends refuse to kill animals if not by need (you will be entitled to an
anecdote on this subject At the next message).
This is to sum up apoism. It must be known that millions of people are claiming apoism,
despite sometimes glaring political discrepancies. This is actually all the left and
extreme left Kurd who claim, the anarchist Marxist, Trotskyist in the Stalinist, Maoist in
the libertarian communist trade unionist, parliamentary socialist guerrilla in the
mountains of Bakur[2]. And it is thanks to apoism that all these tendencies generally
succeed in not carrying on a war of chapels.
There is therefore no clear political line except for libertarian municipalism and
democratic confederalism. These concepts are too bland and not radical enough. Loyal
apoists, those who come from North Kurdistan (lack of subtlety x 100), share my opinion
but consider that this is only a step, to reconcile social progressism and change of
mentalities.
It is still problematic
alliance with the Western imperialists,
US in first place, right?
Yes it is, and the Kurdish comrades recognize it completely. The present socio-political
change seeks not to appear too extreme not to alienate all the allies of circumstance.
Hence this reserve to speak of revolution, and privilege the term "revolutionary process"
in our militant militant purists and too-revolutionary-perfect-t'as-vu.
But one must understand the reality on the ground: first, to rush the population, tired by
years of war, is not desirable. The people are the foundation of socio-political change in
Rojava, without it, no revolution. Then, without the support of "Western democracies," the
YPG-YPJ would be condemned to sacrifice thousands more lives to achieve victory. I am not
saying that the Kurds would have lost the war without air support, but they would have
paid the price for it, that is certain. Each air strike saves revolutionary fighters.
Do we have the luxury of refusing them? I encourage the comrades to debate it.
Then, the Rojavis know full well that this alliance is only temporary, the time to shoot
down Daech. General YPG made a statement a few weeks ago that illustrates the situation of
Rojava vis-a-vis the West: this alliance is doomed to disappear since the socialist
project of Rojava can only enter into conflict with the Capitalist interests, of
Westerners in the first place. It is not for nothing if NATO is so reluctant to provide
another type of aid than air support and some special forces sent on the ground. As for
the Democratic Party of Kurdistan (PDK, the half-conservative semi-conservative party of
Barzani, the president of the KRG), it receives hundreds of millions of dollars, plus
weapons and The equipment of all kinds, as well as military trainers, while its troops are
far less effective on the ground than can YPG-YPJ. This is why the peshmergas (with some
exceptions) constitute an additional enemy for the Rojava.
I must say that we must criticize the mistakes and mistakes we make here at Rojava. Every
revolution has its flaws. I simply ask that the reality of the ground be taken into
account before any hasty purist judgment.
What about the PKK?
Another of those famous secrets of Punch. Officially, there are no PKKs in Syria and
Rojava. Just the YPG / YPJ.
To avoid any accusation of terrorism, I would simply say that without the PKK there would
be no Rojava, but Daech would be much better off.
But the YPG-YPJ are only in Syria?
No, they are also in Iraq, and fortunately. Do you know the story of the Battle of
Sengal[3]? This city of Iraqi Kurdistan is mainly populated by Yezidis, the minority most
oppressed by Daech. Being in the Iraqi side, it was the Peshmergas, the soldiers of the
GRK, who were responsible for its protection. Last year, the Islamic State was advancing
en masse on this city. Shortly before Daech launched the offensive, the peshmerga flew
quickly, leaving hundreds of thousands of civilians without any defense. What needs to be
clarified is that the KRG soldiers had previously recovered all the weapons of the
civilians by saying to them: "You will not need it, we take care to protect you. This is a
perfect example of the state that seeks to disarm the people. The people of Sengal thus
found themselves without soldiers or weapons.
Daech arrived and the massacre began. The Islamic state told the Sunnis in the city to
write the word "sunni" on their doorstep, so that they would escape the massacre. It is
thus that normally solidary neighbors have chosen to allow non-Sunnis to be killed en
masse, without seeking to help them in any way. And despite calls for international aid,
no one has responded, and Barzani and his peshmergas have refrained from providing any
support. Daech had an anti-aircraft battery installed on a hill overlooking the city. They
used it to shoot the civilians who were in the town. Sengal became one of its many martyr
cities.
It is then that an old Yezidi, one of those old scowl that always seems to be making a
mouth, took with him a knife, and crawled all night to the position of the anti-aircraft
battery. He killed the three daechiens who guarded it.
A few days later, a senior general of the YPG arrived with only 7 soldiers. The YPG-YPJ
then opened a corridor to pass reinforcements from the PKK, and together they began
attacking the positions of Daech, who soon found himself in trouble. They took over the
city, with limited armaments, and when they were ten times fewer.
They ordered the last peshmergas who were preparing to flee from the surrounding area
(from rural areas that Daech had not yet attacked) to leave their weapons and equipment,
telling them, "We will defend the city." And they did so, at the cost of many lives, while
the enemy surpassed them in number and in weapons. What remained of Sengal was finally
saved and Daech repulsed.
Now, a local army, the YBS , modeled on the YPG, defends the city, and is allied to the
YPG-YPJ. The civilians who survived fled for many of them. Others live in tents, in the
middle of the snow, on the outskirts of the city. They have no house left. Some remain,
and try to resume a "normal life".
Barzani ordered the PKK to leave the area. The latter refused, supported by the civilian
population. Barzani attempted the threat of an attack, unsuccessfully. The United States
is also greatly disturbed by the presence of the YPGs and especially the PKK in Iraq.
What is the most significant moment you have lived through?
Perhaps the ceremony of homage to the martyrs (Kurdish Martyr says sehîd ). It must be
understood that the figure of the martyr in the local culture is very important. The
fallen revolutionary becomes a hero. Schools, parks, halls bear its name. People from
France told me that there was something embarrassing and almost unhealthy in this culture
of martyrdom. I am the first to admit it, but I admit to this rather hypocritical
criticism when it comes from citizens who do not see any problem when it comes to school
Jean-Jaurès, Salle Jean-Moulin, Rue Guy-Môquet.
Still, this ceremony was symbolically and humanly strong. We arrived after passing through
the local HQ, which is a military complex located at the top of a large hill, which offers
you a pretty impressive panorama.
The ceremony (the term is perhaps biased, there was no religious dimension in this homage)
in itself was happening in the plain, a few kilometers at the foot of the snow-capped
mountains. The site is recent, it is a cemetery built for fallen soldiers. Marble tombs
line up several hundred meters, the most recent are only cinder blocks and are waiting to
be covered with white marble tiles. A digger digs ahead of other graves at the back of the
cemetery. A large new white building, circular, with several levels of Roman columns,
stands on one side of the cemetery. There is an air of pantheon or Roman temple. Inside,
faux wood pillars encircle a ceiling decorated with the rojavi star. This is somewhat
reminiscent of the Soviet style. A little pompous perhaps, but harmonious. This building
will serve as a martyrs' museum. Facing him, on the other side of the cemetery, stands the
remains of an abandoned mosque.
In front of the cemetery, another building, smaller and rectangular, precedes a tribune
where a long table stands. Behind her, several bereaved families. In front, officers
YPG-YPJ. And in formation in front of the tribune, several hundred soldiers, lined up, and
who repeat at the same time a precise military gesture. A sonorous truck that has nothing
to envy the old vans of the CGT passes from Kurdish music, from different genres, from
revolutionary rap to popular songs. There are close to a thousand people gathered there,
many uniforms, YPG / YPJ, the Asayîs[4], members of the Syriac Military Council ,
self-defense units of the cities, and various other groups. Many civilians also, Muslims
and Christians, Arabs, Kurds and Yezidis, and probably other minorities. Our presence is
noticed, despite we wearing the YPG uniform. The aligned soldiers all turn their heads one
after the other. We feel quickly embarrassed.
A general YPJ ends up on the platform, takes the microphone, and begins a long speech,
without any written text with her. Does she recite or improvise? Hard to know with our
very limited knowledge of the language. She finishes her speech, the fighters run past,
and after fifteen minutes, soldiers and civilians go to the cemetery, to collect
themselves on the graves of their relatives. We go there too.
In front of most of the tombs is the portrait of the deceased. A flag of his unit floats
above. There is a majority of YPG-YPJ, many Asayîs, a few PKK, a HAT (special forces
rojavis). The families sit against the graves, some in tears. We pass by, uncomfortable.
Around other graves group fighters, some smile and nod. We go up the alleys between the
graves. We sometimes saw those of foreign volunteers, some with the same names of war as
us. The civilians make a procession with bouquets of flowers. They hold flags with
Öcalan's face, the sign of the PKK, that of the YPG-YPJ.
Around the site, pick-ups with machine guns mounted on turret patrol. Children wear the
YPG-YPJ uniform. Teens hold Kalashnikovs. And Öcalan, all over Öcalan, not only on the
flags, but also on the patches of uniforms, on portraits, on pins.
There are many points that deserve to be discussed and criticized in the rojavi society.
The fringe of extreme left idealizing Rojava commits a political error almost as
regrettable as the fringe which refuses to see the revolutionary socialist potentiality
that this society carries. I'll come back to that later.
One of the dogs in the camp.
Have you had profound and / or violent disagreements with the YPGs or with other
internationalists
I had a few, but only one was violent. The latter concerned the treatment of puppies (we
have 5 in the camp, with their mother and father). One of the volunteers, to whom we
reproach several inadequate attitudes, amused himself by frightening the most cowardly
puppy of the litter, whom I had succeeded in approaching. I threw a "T'es stupide" that
put him in a rage, he threatened me, played the big arms (the virilism, this wound), and
the next two days continued like that. The tekmîl [5]helped put things flat. Being a
volunteer does not necessarily make you a good person, obviously. And being an antispecist
in Rojava is far from obvious.
We also debated nationalism. The YPG-YPJ, like the PKK, now have a clear anti-nationalist
line (although here again, in practice, it can be discussed). A volunteer defended
"leftist nationalism", others "patriotism", me anti-nationalism, but most have come to
concede that nationalism is a scourge, and that patriotism is a stage in it. If I were to
paraphrase one of our commanders: "To have the love of the fatherland as a land where you
live or have lived, to feel attachment is understandable. To believe in the superiority or
the predominance of a territory because one feels connected, is the problem. "
The real disagreement arose between a volunteer, an expatriate Yezidi, the commander and
myself. This volunteer, a former anarchist, claims to have become nationalist after seeing
what Daech was doing to "his people", without any concrete steps being taken to protect
the Yezidis. But debate, when the personal affect takes over, is delicate.
You're talking about "pathological cases," examples?
There are those people I've talked about, who come above all to ask. It's astounding, they
take Rambo photos, with this fantasy of the weapon, and publish them on their personal
Facebook, face-to-face. They do not seek anonymity, but rather to attract attention, to be
admired. And after they tchatchent all the girls they can, accepting profiles they do not
know just because they like the pictures ... The Kurds have warned us that MIT[6]was a lot
that, create profiles "Joking girls" to hang the Western volunteers. And of course, there
are those who do not care about common sense and security. The worst thing is that these
posters have mostly no military experience, know nothing about weapons or war (which is
far from being a defect, of course), but they act as if, Fantasizing themselves, project
themselves as a warrior. These are usually the same ones who do not actually know how to
handle a weapon and accumulate dangerous behaviors. The narcissism emerges, it disgusts
everywhere.
In the well-ravaged genre, we met an American volunteer who has been here for several
months, and who says that it was God who put a weapon in his hands and sent him to fight
here. The kind of character you can easily find ... at our enemy. There are also these
mercenaries, who come to fight here to train (after all, who cares about the death of a
jihadist?) And add credibility to their resume. These contractors are often former
military. I met one who clearly had a past of facho (these tattoos leave little room for
doubt), and seems to keep some remains (his tee-shirts too). And yet, he loves the
revolution rojavi, supports the Kurds knowing that they are socialists / communists,
sympathized with antifas volunteers (recognizing that initially the relationship with them
was tense).
It is surprising to see the diversity of wildlife specific to war. It is a microsystem of
its own, a biodiversity of armed conflict. What is certain is that Capitalism is always
doing as well, if not better. The business of war is extraordinarily cynical. I will focus
on this in a future message.
The climate? The landscape?
Winter is not the best time to discover the region, for sure, but summer is perhaps even
worse (having a combat vest and 30 kilos of equipment under 40 ° C, I'm not Not hurry to
know that).
Still, it's cold, especially during our night watch tours. The wind is an insidious enemy.
But at least thanks to the climate, we escape for the moment most insects, only the
centipedes sometimes pose us problem (here they are often enormous, and dangerous).
It rarely rains, in general the sky is clear, which allows us to admire the stars at night
(also thanks to the few artificial lights in the surroundings).
The landscape is desert, without being, in geographical terms, a desert. Almost no
vegetation exceeds 15 centimeters. Our whole area is undulating, we are surrounded by a
vast plain. Everywhere of the derricks, these great balancers who aspire incessantly its
oil to the earth. The closer you get to it, the more the smell fills your nose, and clings
to you. It is therefore understandable that this territory is also of strategic
importance. However, the embargo on the country prevents the Rojava from exporting the
least liter. Production therefore serves entirely domestic consumption. In the present
war, possessing such resources is a definite advantage.
Do you have a quick political account to make?
From what I've seen so far, is the Rojava, the Middle East, an undeniably progressive
territory . Is the whole society socialist? Not yet. A petty bourgeoisie still lives, but
she feels that her time is short. I may get carried away, but we can have good hopes as to
the revolutionary future of Rojava. Already the great bourgeoisie which controlled the
towns fled before the YPG-YPJ advance, leaving large unoccupied houses (which for several
were collectivized) and bringing the workers of the factories and factories to do without
big bosses. The petty bourgeoisie has tried to regain political power left vacant, the
PYD[7]the confiscated it, gave it to the "people." This petty bourgeoisie still has some
economic power, and as the Kurdish comrades recognize, it will take years to change that.
It is in the social measures that have been taken that we can see the beginning of change:
all inhabitants are guaranteed to have housing if they do not have one. For this, the PYD
redistributed several secondary houses owned by the bourgeoisie. Similarly, no one dies of
hunger in Rojava, the community makes sure to provide those who can not afford to eat.
This "social contract", which we revolutionaries, so rightly describe, at least guarantees
social peace between ethnic groups and religious communities. The death penalty has been
abolished, crimes against ethnic and religious minorities and against women and children
are no longer tolerated, violence against animals is prohibited. These are just a few
examples, far from being revolutionary for us, but they have to be placed in the local
context. And as the YPG say: "We must conquer minds and hearts in order to implement our
revolutionary program as a whole. By going too fast, we make sure to alienate a large part
of the people, the Arab populations in the first place, and we want to build society with
them. Again, I encourage our community to debate this issue.
An update on the military situation?
To tell the truth, we are at a crucial moment in the war. The direct offensive on Raqqa
has not really begun. The battle of Raqqa is divided into 3 phases. For the time being
(less than two months), it is above all a question of encircling the city from the north
and north-west to the Euphrates, in order to cut to the Islamic State a quarter of its
outer territory Around Raqqa. The second phase consists of taking the surrounding villages
and pushing back the forces of the IE, in particular by advancing through the East. We are
only 20 to 30 kilometers away from Raqqa. The frontal offensive will not be long.
The IE launches operations against our advanced posts, 10 days ago it made 3 simultaneous
attempts to drive our lines, without success. Comrades fell, but the EI was pushed back.
The latter multiplies the nocturnal missions, the majority of the attacks that it launches
being included between midnight and 5 in the morning. A comrade of the International
Battalion was killed in one of these attacks. But it is clear that the IE is losing the
war. And like every animal cornered, it is there that it becomes the most dangerous.
At the same time, the YPG-YPJ confront the Turkish forces that attacked them, especially
in Manbij. Let's face it, the Turkish state, that is the real enemy . The troops on the
ground which it deploys are daily more numerous. The bombing he is carrying out is
intensifying. Foreign volunteers were killed by some of these bombings (comrades Robin and
Zana).
Our situation is therefore not the most enviable. In the north, the Turkish fascist state,
an important member of NATO, and therefore untouchable on the international scene. To the
south, these great philanthropists of Daech. To the west, Assad the humanist who protects
his people by crushing him under the bombs and squads of death, and always Daech. To the
east, Barzani and his peshmergas, sold in the US and NATO. The latter will let go of the
YPGs as soon as Raqqa is taken, perhaps even before. And Russia continues its bombing on
all the enemies of the Syrian regime, ie on us too. And I will spare you this time the
detail of all the groups that are currently fighting on Syrian soil, but I will try for
the next time to give you a topo on the military and paramilitary forces that are present
in Syria.
Believe me, our enemies are numerous.
I will nevertheless finish this message with a poetic and positive consideration.
The martyrs cemetery, on the grave of a young YPJ, this sentence was written: "Our victory
comes not from the number of enemies we kill, but the number of people we save. "
