it was a real pleasure to think and speak about authoritarianism in Turkey and the world, (de)mobilisation, habitus, ideology, spaces of resistance, hope, despair, homes, exiles and many more things with Prof. Hamit Bozarslan at
@nothilfe
yesterday, such a wholesome discussion ☘️

woke up to terrifying news of an earthquake with its epicentre in Kurdistan. called my father to find out if everyone in the village is okay. They are alive but no one is okay. The systematic negligence of this geography and the rising death toll go hand in hand.

übrigens, ich werde alle Drohungen anzeigen, liebe Menschen die mir alles mögliche wünschen, weil im Artikel das Wort "Kurdistan" fällt.

Mir wird unterstellt "Politik zu machen" weil ich über die profitorientierte Baupolitik der Türkei spreche, wie unsicher diese ganzen TOKI-Bauten sind, wieso damit ganze Städte zugebaut sind, wieso es keine Notfall-Konzepte gibt, was das mit struktureller Ungleichheit zu tun hat.

While the world is celebrating “Turkish democracy” and focuses on Istanbul mostly, Kurds are fighting a whole state apparatus that tries to confiscate elected municipalities since Sunday. Some int. journalists even called the president’s speech “remarkable” though it was clear ⬇️

the omnipresent state is so absent when it comes to saving Kurdish lives.

Not sure the international public is aware that leading Kurdish politicians were sentenced, in total, with 375 (!) years of prison by a Turkish court today. Why? Because of their solidarity with the resistance in Kobane. Remember Kobane? How it was resisting the Islamic State?

Wer glaubt noch an das Integrationsparadigma wenn Eziden, die einen Genozid überleben, fliehen, hier studieren, deutsch sprechen und wie wie im Fall des 21 jährigen Shabab Smoqi, jetzt z.B. als SAP-Berater arbeiten und trotzdem abgeschoben werden sollen?

Erst haben türkische Politiker seine Ausbürgerung* verlangt und jetzt teilen türk. Accounts sein Foto nach dt. EM-Aus mit Beleidigungen und „vatansiz“, also heimatlos, nur weil Deniz Undav bei einer PK die Frage nach seinen türk. Wurzeln mit „kurdische Wurzeln“ korrigiert hat.

Mein Kommentar zu den Erdbeben und was neoliberale und antikurdische Politik mit dem Ausmaß zutun haben.
Vor allem Kurdistan ist betroffen von den Erdbeben. Eine Region, die strukturell benachteiligt ist. Warum das Ausmaß an Verwüstung mit der antikurdischen Politik der Türkei zusammenhängt. Kommentar:

Die Bilder aus Essen sind erschreckend und Ausdruck der unmittelbaren Gefahr die u.a. Kurd*innen, Alevit*innen, Ezid*innen, Armenier*innen und andere in Deutschland schon seit Jahren immer wieder thematisieren. Das Sicherheitsgefühl schwindet vor allem auch für diese Communities.

I don’t want to explain anymore, for instance, the symbolism of this photo that was taken today, or explain what happened in Kurdish villages last night. The Kurdish issue is international, ecological, political and still treated with large indifference.

I watched the full rally in Istanbul live on air yesterday. As expected, it was antisemitic, aggressively pan-Turkic and a messenger of darker times ahead. He is living another 2016-moment, both domestically & in the region and I wish more people would see who their allies are.

Did you know, Rojava‘s wheat fields are burning for many days now. Agricultural cultivation is a vehicle for autonomy in the NES, and even more important given the geopolitical and economic isolation paired with systemic ecological destruction as part of Turkey’s ongoing attacks.

“There is really no catching a breath” says my friend in a text. So true, there is really no catching a breath for Kurds. Be it drone attacks, invasions, electoral frauds, imprisonments, flight, exile, executions, assassinations or the heaviest earthquake in the region’s history.

Kurdish struggle has produced a collective history of anticolonial resistance where decoloniality is based on freeing the oldest colony (woman). Instead of a learning process, these practices+discourses are always excluded from any imaginary on decolonisation in the Middle East.

I cannot overcome the racist attack against Amedspor. I know we have been witnessing many similar or worse attacks and Kurds have never really exited the cycle of necropolitical violence but the accumulation, simultaneity and modes of anti-Kurdish racism reached a new dynamic.

Die Nachricht, dass eine 17 jährige Kurdin und ihre 70 jährige Großmutter aus Deutschland, das Land das sich mich JinJiyanAzadi-Soli schmückte, über die Türkei in den Iran abgeschoben werden sollen, wo ihnen das Schlimmste droht, ist das quasi Epitome der int. „kurdischen Frage“.

Very happy to be featured in Le Monde Diplomatique Kurdî with a comment on the elections in Turkey and the Kurdish political movement. Very happy also because this is my first ever Kurdish language comment, thank you

Cleaning your city as a prefiguration of democracy :) protesters turned up on Van’s streets today to start a collective cleaning action of their city after successfully stopping the state’s attempt at seizing their elected representatives.
Vanlılar protestolar nedeniyle kirlenen şehri TMMOB öncülüğünde gönüllüler ile birlikte bu sabah kentte temizlik çalışması yaptı.

Looking at the distribution of seats in parliament and new extremist parties represented, dark times ahead for Kurds and women.

Today was the 1,000th weekly gathering of Turkey’s longest-standing civil movement, Saturday Mothers, who have been demanding truth and justice for their forcibly disappeared loved ones. Wish I was in Istanbul too, to join the dignified protest, to leave a carnation flower.
