i saw this on instagram and it needs to be here too

The fascist approach that led to the death of Berkin Elvan in Istanbul (2014) as a result of police brutality, has not only shown that Turkey is far from democracy but that it also has an autocratic leader who does whatever it takes to stay in power. Even kill its own citizens.

This is a public high school Kayseri Lisesi in #Turkey's heartland. Students hail Turkish defense minister Hulusi Akar with a soldier salute. #Erdogan is bent on raising a new generation of nationalists and Islamists.

To grasp the extent of the crimes the Arab militias fighting for Turkey are carrying out in Syria, read the autopsy of the Kurdish politician executed a few days ago. Her legs & jaw were broken, she was dragged by her hair until the skin of her scalp came out & repeatedly shot:

Who wanted Trump to withdraw U.S. troops and abandon the Kurds? Not the Defense or the State Department. Not the foreign policy establishment or the American people. Not Republicans or Democrats. Who wanted Trump to abandon the Kurds and withdraw U.S. troops? Erdogan. And Putin.

Turkey is the most fascist country in the world. Starting a new oppression and genocide of the Kurds, releasing ISIS prisoners and threatening Europe with a new wave of refugees. A befitting partner for Pakistan, which has always been a militant Jihadi state.

Turkey’s conflict in Syria took a major turn today. First alleged atrocities by Turkish-backed Arab militias, executing Kurds. US military officials tell me it's true, and they are DEEPLY concerned it opens the door to BOTH ethnic cleansing of Kurds and return of ISIS/Al-Qaeda

Two US officials with knowledge of the incident confirm to me that the Turkish attack on American forces near Kobani was not a mistake - they knew US troops were there. “They are trying to push us out,” said one US official. We have now re-occupied the position.

Turkish state-backed media hails a “successful operation” to “neutralize” an unarmed 35-year old woman working to unite Arabs, Christians, and Kurds in NE Syria. Ms. Hevrin Khalef was reportedly dragged from a vehicle and shot to death. That’s a war crime.

Here is the father, cradling his dead son in his arms in Qamishli hospital. His son was killed by a Turkish mortar round today fired from Nusaybin on the other side of the wall. This is happening right now in Rojava, Northeast #Syria. Shame on anyone choosing to ignore this.

Mr President @realDonaldTrump, "The Soldier on the picture is my kurdish Grandfather who was fighting side by side the Americans in Normandy". okay? Now it is time to stop Erdogan. #Kurds #Rojava

Remember this photo from May 2018 when Kurdish women stood in solidarity with the women of Ireland, calling for a YES vote in the Repeal ref? Well they need a NO to their abandonment by the US and the terror they face from invading Turkish troops in Syria. #KurdishGenocide

Here, I have been mostly writing in Turkish. Since the fascist invasion of Rojava (N Syria), I have decided to inform the world about the Kurdish struggle for human rights. I cannot standby while Kurds are subjected to ethnic cleansing by Erdogan's regime, the supporter of ISIS.

Dear President Trump, please know that the people of Kurdistan have always pursued their just rights. The Peshmerga have defeated ISIS and are an effective part of the coalition against terror. The blood of the Kurds is far more valuable than money and weapons. Thank you.
