Prosfygika Resiste

El Estado griego tiene previsto desalojar «Oi Prosfygika» en Atenas, una de las comunidades de vivienda autogestionadas más grandes de Europa. El lugar es sinónimo de vida colectiva, proyectos sociales y resistencia contra el desalojo.
Desde el 5 de febrero, Aristotelis Chantzis está en huelga de hambre. El 1 de mayo, Suzon Doppagne se unió a él. Ambos protestan contra el desalojo inminente y por la preservación de la comunidad. Pero, ¿qué es exactamente Prosfygika?

Prosfygika Resist

The Greek state is planning the eviction of “Oi Prosfygika” in Athens, one of the largest self-organized housing communities in Europe. This space represents collective living, social projects, and resistance against displacement.

Since February 5, Aristotelis Chantzis has been on hunger strike. On May 1, Suzon Doppagne joined him. Both are protesting against the impending eviction and for the preservation of the community. But what exactly is Prosfygika?

# YPJ CAMPAIGN

A campaign under the slogan "We are all YPJ" has been started and is gaining attention both nationally and internationally. The women's movement and organizations of Rojava started this campaign the 26th of April with the aim to have YPJ be part of the integration process.
As we have mentioned before, the role of YPJ and NES's women's organizations more generally, is and will continue to be a stickling point in the negotiations because women's struggle is a foundation of the revolution while at the same time al-Sharaa with his islamic fundamentalist ideology does not want to legitimize women's power and rightful place in society.

# UNREST AND REPRESSION UNDER STG

- Amid increasing living costs, protests took place in different cities of Syria, including Damascus. Prices of oil and gas are being raised by the government, reaching prices impossible to pay for most of the population. The government recently issued a decree announcing that every demonstration has to be approved by the government beforehand or it will be considered illegal.

- Following some clashes in Homs where a government soldier was killed by an Alawite man, a wave of attacks and raids against Alawite population once again took place in that region, not as big as before but still inflaming ethnic tensions and conflicts.

- In Haseke, after government forces removed the sign in Kurdish and arabic to change it for one in arabic and english, a wave of protests erupted around the building, removing the new sign and demanding the one that included kurdish language to be put back.

- In Idlib, a brigade of Uzbek radical islamists clashed with government forces after some of their members were arrested. This is the second incident involving foreign fighters in Idlib after in October some French islamist groups also clashed with government forces on the outskirts of their training camp close to the Turkish border.

# MIT AIDING ARAB TRIBAL FORCES

Reports are circulating about alleged meetings between MIT (Turkish intelligence) and some tribal leaders, to negotiate and build groups able to carry out attacks and killings in kurdish majority areas of north east Syria. Allegedly, MIT is providing weapons, training and funding to some men connected to what has been presented as "tribal armies", building an underground network able to carry out insurgent attacks on Kurdish regions. Those groups may be able to count with tacit government support while allowing government forces to deny any official links, building on tactics of paramilitary counter-guerrilla that the Turkish State has been using for decades against the kurdish movement.

# LARGEST CONVOY OF RETURNEES TO AFRIN

A fifth convoy of Afrin refugees departed from Haseke on May 10th, comprising an estimated 1,600 families of Kurds, who were forced to leave their homes in 2018 following the Olive Branch military operation. This has been the largest so far, bigger than the forth one that traveled on early May with around 1,000 families.
The first of these convoys went to Afrin on March 9, and consisted of around 400 displaced families. A second group of around 200 families arrived on April 4, followed by a third convoy of approximately 800 families that reached Afrin on April 14. So in total we are counting around 4000 families that returned to Afrin, even if the conditions there are still unclear as the influence of the Turkish state and its armed groups, comprised of former SNA, still have a heavy presence in the region.

# RESHUFFLING POWER POSITIONS ON SYRIA'S GOVERNMENT

Ahmad al‑Sharaa issued a series of presidential decrees introducing new appointments to senior positions within the Presidency and several ministries.
Under the decrees, Abdulrahman Badr al‑Din al‑A‘ma was appointed Secretary-General of the Presidency, replacing Maher al‑Sharaa, the brother of the president. Khaled Fawaz Zaarour succeeded Hamza Mustafa as Minister of Information. In the Agriculture Ministry, Bassel Hafez al‑Suweidan was named minister, replacing Amjad Badr.
The decrees further appointed new governors in several governorates; Ghassan Elias al‑Sayyed Ahmad as Governor of Quneitra, replacing Ahmad al‑Dalati, Murhaf Khaled al‑Naasan as Governor of Homs, Ahmad Ali Mustafa as Governor of Latakia, Ziyad Fawaz al‑Ayesh was appointed Governor of Deir ez‑Zor.

# STALLING OF PEACE PROCESS IN BAKUR

In recent declarations, leaders of the apoist movement stated that the peace initiative with Turkey has been effectively "frozen", since Ankara has failed to implement the necessary legal and political reforms to advance the process.
The Apoist Movement leadership also held a press conference marking the first anniversary of the PKK’s dissolution congress, were they evaluated the achievements of the Kurdish liberation movement. They remarked that the dissolution of PKK should be understood as a new beginning for the Kurdish liberation movement, opening space for political and democratic developments.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

# EVALUATION

In the last month we saw how the war tensions between US and Israel against Iran continue to cast their shadow over the whole Middle East. Western powers formalize their ties with the Syrian government, and today (May 11th) Syria and the EU will hold the first high-level political talks since the fall of the Assad regime. It is expected that the talks will focus on establishing a political framework for the relations between the EU and Syria and to assess EU support for economical recovery and political transition.

The project of the Autonomous Administration of NES as an official institution is ending, as talks about integration into the Syrian State are becoming the everyday life in NES. The revolutionary movement is working to defend the values and achievements of the revolution as the formal institutions dissolve, but the communes and the grassroots movement continue on its path. Many people ARE sad about those loses, but at the same time very aware of the reasons behind it.

The decisions of SDF and the DAANES prevented a bloodbath, and everyone on the ground is very aware of that. The lives of the people of NES were put in front of any political agenda, allowing for a relative peace and calm on the ground. The political and military bodies of NES maneuvered in the best way possible to avoid any massacres or long bloody battles. As prisoners exchange go on, families celebrate that their sons and daughters come back home, knowing that in other conditions they wouldn't be able to see them ever again.

At the same time, important political achievements have been reached for Kurds in Syria, with their rights formally recognized in the constitution and official decrees. That brings some hopes for political struggle instead of simply continuation of war, but everyone is aware that those agreements mean nothing if people are not organized and ready to fight when the state tries to walk back on any of those achievements. The means of self-defense have also been somewhat preserved, making sure that SDF didn't end up surrendering or simply giving up weapons.

Today is clear that al-Sharaa is a good strategist. He used his cards very well to achieve the central position he wanted. He is a pragmatist with no problems to compromise the ideological lines of his organization in order to strengthen his own grip on Syrian State power. How much he will try to return to his Islamist roots as he consolidates power, how much he will simply embrace western capitalist politics and play the role of responsible head of state for western powers is something that will become more clear in time to come.

Revolutionary greetings 🖤

The lives of the people of NES were put in front of any political agenda, allowing for a relative peace and calm on the ground. The political and military bodies of NES maneuvered in the best way possible to avoid any massacres or long bloody battles. As prisoners exchange go on, families celebrate that their sons and daughters come back home, knowing that in other conditions they wouldn't be able to see them ever again.

At the same time, important political achievements have been reached for Kurds in Syria, with their rights formally recognized in the constitution and official decrees. That brings some hopes for political struggle instead of simply continuation of war, but everyone is aware that those agreements mean nothing if people are not organized and ready to fight when the state tries to walk back on any of those achievements. The means of self-defense have also been somewhat preserved, making sure that SDF didn't end up surrendering or simply giving up weapons.

Today is clear that al-Sharaa is a good strategist. He used his cards very well to achieve the central position he wanted. He is a pragmatist with no problems to compromise the ideological lines of his organization in order to strengthen his own grip on Syrian State power. How much he will try to return to his Islamist roots as he consolidates power, how much he will simply embrace western capitalist politics and play the role of responsible head of state for western powers is something that will become more clear in time to come.

Revolutionary greetings 🖤

# YPJ CAMPAIGN

A campaign under the slogan "We are all YPJ" has been started and is gaining attention both nationally and internationally. The women's movement and organizations of Rojava started this campaign the 26th of April with the aim to have YPJ be part of the integration process.
As we have mentioned before, the role of YPJ and NES's women's organizations more generally, is and will continue to be a stickling point in the negotiations because women's struggle is a foundation of the revolution while at the same time al-Sharaa with his islamic fundamentalist ideology does not want to legitimize women's power and rightful place in society.

# UNREST AND REPRESSION UNDER STG

- Amid increasing living costs, protests took place in different cities of Syria, including Damascus. Prices of oil and gas are being raised by the government, reaching prices impossible to pay for most of the population. The government recently issued a decree announcing that every demonstration has to be approved by the government beforehand or it will be considered illegal.

- Following some clashes in Homs where a government soldier was killed by an Alawite man, a wave of attacks and raids against Alawite population once again took place in that region, not as big as before but still inflaming ethnic tensions and conflicts.

- In Haseke, after government forces removed the sign in Kurdish and arabic to change it for one in arabic and english, a wave of protests erupted around the building, removing the new sign and demanding the one that included kurdish language to be put back.

- In Idlib, a brigade of Uzbek radical islamists clashed with government forces after some of their members were arrested. This is the second incident involving foreign fighters in Idlib after in October some French islamist groups also clashed with government forces on the outskirts of their training camp close to the Turkish border.

# MIT AIDING ARAB TRIBAL FORCES

Reports are circulating about alleged meetings between MIT (Turkish intelligence) and some tribal leaders, to negotiate and build groups able to carry out attacks and killings in kurdish majority areas of north east Syria. Allegedly, MIT is providing weapons, training and funding to some men connected to what has been presented as "tribal armies", building an underground network able to carry out insurgent attacks on Kurdish regions. Those groups may be able to count with tacit government support while allowing government forces to deny any official links, building on tactics of paramilitary counter-guerrilla that the Turkish State has been using for decades against the kurdish movement.

# LARGEST CONVOY OF RETURNEES TO AFRIN

A fifth convoy of Afrin refugees departed from Haseke on May 10th, comprising an estimated 1,600 families of Kurds, who were forced to leave their homes in 2018 following the Olive Branch military operation. This has been the largest so far, bigger than the forth one that traveled on early May with around 1,000 families.
The first of these convoys went to Afrin on March 9, and consisted of around 400 displaced families. A second group of around 200 families arrived on April 4, followed by a third convoy of approximately 800 families that reached Afrin on April 14. So in total we are counting around 4000 families that returned to Afrin, even if the conditions there are still unclear as the influence of the Turkish state and its armed groups, comprised of former SNA, still have a heavy presence in the region.

# RESHUFFLING POWER POSITIONS ON SYRIA'S GOVERNMENT

Ahmad al‑Sharaa issued a series of presidential decrees introducing new appointments to senior positions within the Presidency and several ministries.
Under the decrees, Abdulrahman Badr al‑Din al‑A‘ma was appointed Secretary-General of the Presidency, replacing Maher al‑Sharaa, the brother of the president. Khaled Fawaz Zaarour succeeded Hamza Mustafa as Minister of Information. In the Agriculture Ministry, Bassel Hafez al‑Suweidan was named minister, replacing Amjad Badr.
The decrees further appointed new governors in several governorates; Ghassan Elias al‑Sayyed Ahmad as Governor of Quneitra, replacing Ahmad al‑Dalati, Murhaf Khaled al‑Naasan as Governor of Homs, Ahmad Ali Mustafa as Governor of Latakia, Ziyad Fawaz al‑Ayesh was appointed Governor of Deir ez‑Zor.

# STALLING OF PEACE PROCESS IN BAKUR

In recent declarations, leaders of the apoist movement stated that the peace initiative with Turkey has been effectively "frozen", since Ankara has failed to implement the necessary legal and political reforms to advance the process.
The Apoist Movement leadership also held a press conference marking the first anniversary of the PKK’s dissolution congress, were they evaluated the achievements of the Kurdish liberation movement. They remarked that the dissolution of PKK should be understood as a new beginning for the Kurdish liberation movement, opening space for political and democratic developments.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

# EVALUATION

In the last month we saw how the war tensions between US and Israel against Iran continue to cast their shadow over the whole Middle East. Western powers formalize their ties with the Syrian government, and today (May 11th) Syria and the EU will hold the first high-level political talks since the fall of the Assad regime. It is expected that the talks will focus on establishing a political framework for the relations between the EU and Syria and to assess EU support for economical recovery and political transition.

The project of the Autonomous Administration of NES as an official institution is ending, as talks about integration into the Syrian State are becoming the everyday life in NES. The revolutionary movement is working to defend the values and achievements of the revolution as the formal institutions dissolve, but the communes and the grassroots movement continue on its path. Many people ARE sad about those loses, but at the same time very aware of the reasons behind it.

Susan, 18, voluntarily teaches the Kurdish language in one of Kurdistan’s villages. Since teaching the Kurdish language is prohibited in Iranian Kurdistan schools, many volunteers spontaneously teach people to read and write Kurdish. Most people in villages are jobless and doing Kolbari to earn a bit of money. Kurdistan, Iran, December 2012.

Iraqi media shocked by reports of secret Israeli base

https://www.newsbeep.com/530813/

Horseshoe theory is bullshit. Liberalism is a disease. Liberal is, in fact, an insult used by fascists and leftists alike, for different reasons. Liberals and fascists are both morally corrupt and spiritually bankrupt. But these are just descriptors.

Fascists insult liberals for weakness, diversity, proceduralism, or insufficient ethnonational purity.

Leftists insult liberals for collaboration with domination while pretending neutrality.

Same word, different indictment. The key distinction is function.

A liberal government may speak of human rights while backing massacres. A fascist movement may discard the human-rights language and embrace domination more openly.

Different rhetoric, sometimes overlapping material outcomes.

I won't speak about theory in a vacuum, but let's talk about historical and material conditions and the imperial boomerang across settler-colonial states, imperial powers, and postcolonial formations shaped by empire. Let's start there.

(In case you think the political spectrum translates cleanly to every corner of the world while global power structures heavily rely on exploitative systems of racial and gender hierarchy and extraction, think again, and this is me being polite)
