NEWS CENTER – We will not go into detail now about the history of how drones were developed and how and where they were used everywhere. Basically, we can say that it was the US that made the advance when they used drones in Afghanistan to make any gathering of people in Afghanistan a possible target for their attacks.
The fascist government of Turkey, while in Kobanê thousands of welatparêze young people joined the fight against the IS and fought victoriously at the sacrifice of their lives and with heavy losses, in the spirit of revenge began to expand and massively expand their production of drones.
Today we see the result. While in Ukraine the Ukrainian soldiers are advertising the Turkish drone Bayraktar and now thousands of dictatorial regimes want to buy this drone from Turkey, which would otherwise not be able to get drones from the NATO countries, this drone is being sold, especially in the self-governing areas of Rojava used for targeted assassination.
A war that should not be considered an official war. A war that ensures that welatparêz people who campaigned for their homeland, instead of leaving the country like the thousands of others and making their way to Europe, can no longer move freely, have to hide to avoid being targeted by Turkish drones.
It is a large-scale war, planned down to the smallest detail. The fascist regime in Turkey uses all possibilities to ensure that the people who stick to their goals and fight and organize for the preservation of Kurdish culture, language and the autonomy of the region (as in Rojava, Maxmur and Shengal) and destroy their hopes become.
The fascist government in Turkey could and does use other means, but the use of drones, which is a very expensive one, is paying off. Because the decisive factor for their use is that people worldwide show little or no reaction to the fact that people in Rojava and in Başur Kurdistan are being targeted by drone attacks.
Like the young women who were staying in a girls’ education center in Rojava and were bombed in cold blood by a drone from Turkey while they were playing volleyball, or the young people who met in the city of Kobanê in a backyard and in the evening hours were the target of a drone attack by the fascist Turkish regime have become. Just like all the others… there are just too many already.
What that actually means seems difficult to imagine for people in European and other countries. An example. You live in the country and want to visit friends in the city. The country road is straight and there are few houses and living areas around. Which means that the route is in danger of becoming the target of a drone attack. Another example, you want to go out in the city to meet up with friends in the park, for example. However, the park is spacious and only has a few trees around it, which means that if you are in the meadow, you could be the victim of a drone attack.
You no longer move during the day where the drones could see you, you no longer move on wasteland where you could be targeted, you mistrust your surroundings, which could pass on your coordinates and movements to the enemy. You are constantly checking your clothes, your car, making sure to leave your phone at home as all of these could present a possibility that you might be a victim of a drone attack.
You constantly hear the whirring of these drones circling above you, your village, your city, spying on you and, if possible, attacking you.
People are under enormous psychological pressure just because they want to live in their country and fight for their freedom, instead of leaving the country like many others and embarking on the dangerous journey across the water to, if not drown, at the border like a monster to be treated by fascist police officers, border guards and Frontex mercenaries, only to be crushed under the bureaucracy of the states when you arrive in Europe, so that the last spark of hope and humanity is squeezed out of you.
As much as the European states talk about wanting to solve the so-called “refugee problem”, they do the opposite and give Turkey money so that it can take care of the refugees that it produces itself with its fascist policies. Be it the dams that prevent the water from reaching Rojava and Basur, be it the drone war, the use of poison gas and other prohibited weapons, the cutting down and cutting down of forests, the embargo and all the other machinations of the special war that the fascist AKP -Government under Erdogan, the lackey of the NATO countries enforced here.
If someone is really interested in taking care of the people and the achievements here, they should use actions and their own organization to try to uncover this special war that is taking place in Rojava and Basur, as well as in Bakur, and to uncover the connections with the European and NATO countries. Because who controls the airspace in Rojava is Russia and the USA – which presents itself as being in a coalition with the forces of Rojava and on the other hand the representative of the protection of the people of Rojava, but which actually leaves these people to the drone attacks of fascist Turkey.
The importance of these drone strikes, the impact they are having on people and the environment, and the vision that we as a global society have for the future if we don’t stop this practice by states now, will be tragic. Because anyone who can tolerate people, entire societies being attacked and deliberately murdered by the war machines of some state, without being able to protect themselves from this in the slightest, cannot speak of having a human conscience, of having human feelings, or even just that a spark of decency.
When did it become legitimate to bombard people in broad daylight with millions of dollars worth of war machinery just because they advocated self-government, their language and culture and the peaceful coexistence of all societies and religions? Since when can the human conscience tolerate such murder scenarios? Are we as a society already so dulled, so inwardly deaf and emotionally cold that we can simply watch entire families in other countries being killed by drones as if they were soldiers from opposing countries in a high-tech war?
Have we become so accustomed to these images of murder and manslaughter that the media presents to us every day in films and series that we no longer perceive what it actually means for human and social life when states are authorized to take action against civilians, against children, families and people who are politically active?
These are questions that only each and everyone can answer for themselves, because we are not lacking in words, but in deeds.
