Kurdish people who have been protesting the invasion of Afrin by Turkish State and its affiliate jihadi groups, an invasion which was practically approved by the silence of the USA, the EU and the UN and proactively by Russia. Kurdish People and their friends have now commenced activities to raise awareness to break the silence of the same western powers towards the situation. The Kurdish people and their friends are calling on these western powers to take urgent practical measures and get into action.

Afrin is a city where hundreds of thousands of Kurds and internally displaced Arabs due to the civil war in Syria have been living in peace for the last 7 years and the world has been silent to the state terror perpetrated by the Turkish State who attacked this city.

The invasion of Afrin is revenge for ISIS and revenge for Turkey who supports ISIS

The Kurdish People and especially the Kurdish forces SDF, YPG and YPJ have been heroically fighting against IS terror and just as they were on the brink of finishing them off the Turkish State attacked the Kurds with the jihadists made from the residuals of IS. This is a matter of shame for the western world. Whilst with the sacrifice of thousands of young female and male warriors Kurdish people have virtually finished off IS thus preventing the massacres that could be carried out by these groups in western countries, the very same countries have now left the Kurds alone faced with Turkish State terror.

The Kurdish people have heroically struggled with their honour and life for the sake of humanity but now face great terror, ethnic cleansing and invasion attacks. This is a shameful situation for the of Western World.

  • These states must take clear practical steps to secure an end to this invasion and withdrawal of the Turkish State and its affiliated jihadi terror groups from Afrin


  • Urgent humanitarian aid should be supplied to the hundreds of thousand civilians fleeing Turkish State terror


  • The Turkish State and its affiliate jihadi terror groups should urgently be tried in courts for the crimes that they committed against humanity


  • Clear steps should be taken for the official representation of the Kurdish People to be present on the Syria Solution Platforms.
