Protest Turkish rulers’ war against Kurds in Afrin!
Militant/Frank Gorton
Protests in Toronto, above, and worldwide continue against the Turkish
rulers’ weekslong bombardment and invasion of the Kurdish province of
Afrin in northwest Syria. Ankara’s forces and their Free Syrian Army
allies continue to make little progress in the mountainous terrain and
against the popular support for the Kurdish-backed government there.
Scores of Kurds from the Sheikh Maqsoud district of the nearby Syrian
city of Aleppo have joined the defense.
Moscow controls Afrin’s airspace and gave the Turkish rulers a green
light for the invasion. Washington also signaled agreement, asking only
that Ankara make it “limited in scope and duration.” The capitalist
rulers of Iran, Iraq, Syria and Turkey all seek to block their own
Kurdish populations from fighting for their national rights.
