TOPSHOT - Supporters and members of the Kurdish community hold portraits of
victims Emine Kara and Mir Perwer during a demonstration a day after a gunmanopened fire at a Kurdish cultural centre killing three people, at The Place de laRepublique in Paris on December 24, 2022. Emine Kara was a leader of the KurdishWomen's Movement in France and Mir Perwer, a political refugee and artist. Theshots at the centre and a nearby hairdressing salon shortly before midday causedpanic in the trendy 10th district of the French capital, a bustling area of shopsand restaurants that is home to a large Kurdish population. The 69-year-old whiteFrench gunman told investigators he was racist, a source close to the case said.(Photo by JULIEN DE ROSA / AFP)On Friday, December 23, a gunman opened fire on a Kurdish cultural center inParis, killing three Kurds from the local community and injuring three others. A69-year-old racist with a heavy history of violent attacks, whose name remainsunknown until now, was arrested for this terrorist act. It seems that it is aninternational tactic not to release the names of the killers when they "happen"to be fascists or cops, as in the case of the cop killer of 16-year-old RomaKostas "Kalo" Fragoulis. The 69-year-old perpetrator was taken to a psychiatrichospital. It is also notable that when terrorist attacks come from the extremeright they are immediately depoliticized and the blame is placed solely on theperpetrator's mental disorders.The Kurdish National Congress in its statement points to the Turkish state asresponsible for this terrorist act. It would not be the first time that thesecret services of the Turkish state would murder Kurdish female fighters onFrench soil. On January 9, 2013, MIT agents executed Kurdish activists FidanDogan, Sakine Cansiz and Leyla Saylemez in Paris with bullets to the head and neck.The Kurdish liberation movement has been under constant attack for some time. Atthe end of November, Turkey, taking advantage of the provocative terrorist attackin Istanbul, launched airstrikes in areas of northern and eastern Syria, in theliberated territories of Rojava. For three years Rojava has been attacked by theTurkish army on a daily basis. In Basur (Iraqi Kurdistan) the Turkish army,circumventing international conventions and taking advantage of the tolerance andsilence of the West, is waging a war with the use of chemical weapons against theKurds/Kurdish rebels/insurgents.4.5 years have passed since the occupation of the Kurdish canton of Afrin by theTurkish occupying army. Today the Turkish state is seeking to renew its plans fora military invasion of Rojava, citing the rhetoric of fighting "terrorism" andstrengthening national security. It seeks to hurt the Kurdish resistance in all 4parts of Kurdistan, because it realizes that the liberating project of democraticconfederation, the social revolution in Rojava and the armed resistance arehostile components to the hegemony of the state and capital, as they constitutean alternative proposal with emancipatory direction for the peoples of the MiddleEast.The Turkish state, with the tolerance of the imperialist powers of the West, isonce again attempting to bury the revolutionary prospect in the Middle East bysuppressing a vibrant revolutionary process in northern and eastern Syria, whichis currently interacting dynamically with the social and women's revolt againsttheocracy and patriarchy in Iran.Whoever is responsible for the terrorist attack in Paris, whether it is theTurkish secret services or the 69-year-old racist is solely responsible, weobserve that the black international of racists, far-right and fascists areintensifying their attacks against the world of struggle and movements worldwide.We must oppose our own international, that of the anti-state & anti-capitaliststruggle, of freedom.We must stand in solidarity with the struggle of the people of Kurdistan andRojava, the people who defeated ISIS and who, since 2012, have been laying thefoundations for the creation of a new society based on direct democracy, women'semancipation, social ecology and cooperative economy. With our mobilizationslet's form a network that will defend their struggle and the social revolution inRojava but also the struggles of all of us for another society of equality andfreedom.https://libertasalonica.wordpress.com/2022/12/26/_________________________________________A - I N F O S N E W S S E R V I C EBy, For, and About AnarchistsSend news reports to A-infos-en mailing listA-infos-en@ainfos.ca
