The situation in the Middle East reveals every day a little more cynicism of French and 
Western leaders, who under the pretext of defending the people or to combat terrorism seek 
above all to safeguard their interests. And from Paris to Aleppo via Raqqa, people toast. 
---- The Russian military intervention alongside Assad and Iran has changed the situation 
in Syria and the Middle East. Militarily, the balance of power has been reversed, the 
defensive army of the regime has gone on the offensive. She has regained some of the 
ground lost in 2015, it marked important points to achieve the strategic goal of regaining 
control of the borders with Jordan and Turkey. Russian aerial bombardments have 
significantly degraded the operational capacity of all the tendencies of the armed 
opposition, including Daech.

The truce: a respite to get reinforcements

The regime emerges strengthened politically, Assad will not be overthrown by military 
means, the claim of his enemies resigns prior to any negotiation has become untenable. The 
United States and France are already used to the idea that he remains in power for a 
transitional period. Saudi Arabia and Turkey still refuse categorically, but what can they 
do? Directly intervene is to run the risk of war with Russia to uncontrollable 
consequences - a prospect that worries the White House.

This new balance of power has forced Obama to agree with Putin on a "cessation of 
hostilities" part, which led to a lull in the fighting from February 27. However, peace is 
far away: for one as for the other it is only a tactical truce. The rebels supported by 
Washington need respite for reinforcements fighters replenish their arsenals and 
reorganize their defense lines. The regular army and its allies can redeploy their forces 
against Al-Daech and Nosra Front that are not covered by the agreement and with the help 
of Russian aviation, they continue their progress. Large-scale fighting could start again 
at any time.

The western side is defeated. Russian imperialism is back in force in the Middle East 
after the long hiatus that followed the collapse of the USSR. How did we get there? The 
Syrian strategy Westerners is wrong to base, it is based on the claim that the rebellion 
is moderate ability to militarily defeat Assad and Daech both. But this is not the case. 
The fact that they cling to this illusion shows the impasse where they are.

War is no longer confined to Syria or the Middle East, its consequence reach Europe and 
endanger the cohesion of the Western camp. The stir caused by the wave of refugee 
Syrian-es are pitching the EU: the nationalist and xenophobic movements develop; Member 
States are torn on the policy to be adopted; Fortress Europe is increasing but is 
fragmented to the point that the Schengen area is threatened, one of the emblematic 
achievements of European integration. The EU remained uncompromising on its principles, as 
the neighboring countries of Syria were now concerned it is touched in turn, the departure 
of Assad is no longer the priority.

Putin's strength is to have a clear policy since 2011: support to power up, no thank you 
struggle against jihadi Salafists. While Westerners are weakened by their double 
discourse, their ulterior motives and their hypocrisy. The French case is exemplary, the 
democratic-humanitarian discourse of the ruling class barely conceal what really motivates 
its Syrian policy. Paris condemns Bashar the butcher but said nothing against the dirty 
war against the Kurds Erdogan, on the contrary, she agrees to cede to blackmail the 
refugee-es accepting that the EU pays a ransom of several billion euros . Nor were 
denouncing the invasion of Yemen by Saudi Arabia and the shelling of civilians who have 
nothing to envy to those of the Damascus regime. Rather, Holland does not hesitate to 
decorate the crown prince of the Legion of Honour.

arms sales to Saudi Arabia

It is the same counter-terrorism, power imposes state of emergency which is primarily used 
to repress social movements, but it does nothing against the countries supporting Islamic 
terrorism. Nothing against the Saudi theocracy source of Wahhabi ideology adopted by 
Al-Qaeda and Daech and fund generously. Nothing against Turkey which serves as their rear 
base and finance Daech through oil smuggling. The position of the Elysee on Syria is 
determined by the significant investments of the French bourgeoisie in Turkey and highly 
profitable arms sales to Saudi Arabia and its Gulf acolytes. As US and Russian 
imperialism, French imperialism is determined to fight for its interests until the last 
Syrian and Syrian.

Friday, several meetings of strikers decided to continue the movement; This is the case in 
Paris East, Paris Austerlitz, Paris-Saint-Lazare, Sotteville, Grenoble, Saint-Jean de 
Maurienne, Tours, ... ---- This is insufficient to push back the bosses of the rail 
sector, and too localized to help win against the proposed labor law. But those who 
struggle right! The strikers maintain a movement that is not finished and will allow it to 
restart. ---- Of course, the situation would have been better if the CGT had not given 
instruction to stop the strike after 48 hours without taking the opinion of the AG and all 
of the SUD-Rail and FO unions had raised the slogan of renewable strike. ---- 
Procrastinated enough, that the unions show their usefulness in organizing and supporting 
the ongoing strike, they gave voice democracy general meetings where the strikers decide 
suites! The time is always in the fight:

for our claims in the rail sector, facing the bosses of UTP and SNCF,
with all employees against the proposed labor law!

We placed this banner on the Manhattan Bridge to demonstrate our complete and total 
solidarity with the Kurdish resistance in Bakur. We hope to shed light on the current war 
of aggression in Kurdistan, unleashed by the Turkish state with unrelenting US complicity. 
The barbarism of the Turkish state, and its NATO patrons, have reached unprecedented 
heights and we call on anarchists and revolutionaries worldwide to take immediate action 
in solidarity with the rebels in Kurdistan. ---- While much of the world has plunged into 
darkness the revolutionary movement in Kurdistan stands in stark contrast. >From the United 
States to Hungary, from Turkey to Brazil the forces of reaction are on the offensive. Our 
task seems daunting when we comprehend the totality of forces against us. But this is 
precisely why the revolution in Rojava and the struggle in Bakur is so important for humanity.

Despite the relentless military assaults by Turkey and ISIS, Bakur and Rojava have set a 
new standard for all human aspiration. The forms of revolutionary social organization 
gives existence meaning again and reflects human creativity’s desire to express itself 
freely in the face of unparalleled odds.

The advancement towards self-rule in Bakur proved too odious to the Turkish state’s drive 
for total domination. As Turkey arms ISIS, Al-Nusra, and other jihadi groups to attack 
Rojava, it has also launched a ruthless genocidal war against Kurds in Bakur and Iraq. 
Civilians are being callously gunned down in the streets, apartments are being bombed, 
people seeking shelter are being burned alive in basement hideouts, all while the Turkish 
state, with US arms, attempts to consolidate one of the cruelest military occupations in 
the world.

In spite of this the local youth have risen and formed a people’s defense force: the YPS 
and the YPS-Jin. Supporters from the region and international revolutionaries have joined 
their ranks, while HPG guerrillas support their activities in the countryside.

For three months these fighters have stopped the Turkish army, breathing a new life into 
the struggle for liberation and giving meaning to the nature of resistance. Their 
revolutionary war marks a decisive moment in the global battle of acceptance against 
fascism, self-rule against oppression, feminism against patriarchy, communal 
self-organization against authoritarianism and life against death.

This is not the time to sit at home and wonder what might be. In Bakur and Rojava people 
are building the future now. Not just for Kurdish people, not just for those in the Middle 
East, but for the world. Our call is total rebellion: rise up against the totalitarian 
machines, the nation-state system, NATO and its US emperor, and the institutions of the 
Turkish state.

Join the fight on your home territory. The people of Bakur and Rojava have opened a new 
horizon. Everywhere we replace hierarchy with decentralization, prison with liberation; 
everywhere we dismantle the forces of domination, humanity will triumph over power.

Kurdistan will be the graveyard of fascism.

Long Live Rojava and Bakur!

Biji YPS!
Biji YPS-Jin!
Biji YPG and YPJ!
Biji HPG!

On May 15, 2016 it is given the 68th anniversary of the Nakba (disaster), the expulsion of 
the Palestinian people from their land after being declared the State of Israel a day 
earlier, on May 14. This event occurred within an orchestrated plan long for the old 
imperialist powers Britain and France, who were the primary drivers of Zionism and its 
expansion in Palestinian territories. ---- United Nations awarded the State of Israel more 
than 50% of Palestinian territory and since 1948 the Zionist state of Israel begins an act 
of genocide and ethnic cleansing that lasts until today. Zionists systematically expelled 
from their land have 80% of the Palestinian population, with initial support from England 
and United Nations, and the US unconditional covenant to the Hebrew state and its 
machinery of war and destruction against the Arabs.

L @ s refugiad @ s Palestinians s are more than 5 million today, consummating a racist and 
cleaning act ethnic by Zionism, which was initially boosted since the British mandate 
until 1947 and then by the US and the Western powers .

Again the geostrategic and military interests of the great powers are above human rights 
condemning a people, Palestinian, before a criminal and fascist state like Israel only 
seeks its destruction and colonize all the land, to the complicity of the international 
community.

Recently the Pacific campaign of BDS boycott, disinvestment and sanctions against Israel 
is under attack by the Zionist government does not hesitate to call the elimination of BDS 
Movement activists. The Zionist state pursues social movements, once again, with impunity.

Since CNT Córdoba as an internationalist organization called for international solidarity 
with the Palestinian people, condemning the Zionist state of Israel and the genocide 
perpetrated for nearly seven decades ago, and the support of the Palestinian struggle and 
boycott campaigns against Israel.

Whenever the FAU – Freie Arbeiterinnen und Arbeiter Union (Free Workers Union) Berlin gets 
involved in conflicts at a workplace, we tend to quickly be successful. The bosses’ 
wrongdoings are oftentimes beyond good and evil so that small actions can already lead to 
concessions on their side. Right now, however, we are stuck in a number of wage conflicts: 
eight of our Romanian colleagues have been exploited on the construction site of the “Mall 
of Berlin” and still, after two years of struggle, have not received any payment! The 
people responsible are hiding behind a chain of sub-contractors, trying to demoralize us 
with lengthy lawsuits. ---- Another colleague has been tricked out of more than 1000 Euros 
of wages by a restaurant. This is very commonplace in the gastronomy sector. Yet, in this 
case the boss is not just reluctant to pay but has obtained an injunction against our 
Union. The FAU Berlin now is prohibited to make public demands from the company. Doing so 
might result in a penalty of 250 000 Euro or six months in jail. One of our comrades is 
already being investigated! Instead of paying the wages – a negligible sum of money for 
the company – he invests in lawyers and courts.

We are regularly targeted with such legal means to impede our activity. In 2010 our 
enemies went so far as to trying to prevent the FAU Berlin from officially calling itself 
a “Trade Union”. The bosses’ strategy is clear: They go out of their ways to silence a 
fighting Union! They want to make an example out of the colleagues, who demand their 
rights in order to single them out before other employees may follow them. They know that 
working people cannot afford a lawsuit. In the end, not everyone is equal in front of the law.

Well, too bad the bosses did not reckon with die FAU Berlin and our friends! As a solidary 
Union we fight with all means necessary until the end. We are counting, though, on support 
from outside. Show your solidarity with the colleagues in struggle and join the 
demonstration. An injury to one is an injury to all!


No boss and no judge will silence us! Defend Union liberty!


Demonstration on Saturday, June 4th, 2 p.m. at Hackescher Markt

drugs on them. ---- This is not the first dirty game played by the state in Azerbaijan. 
Absolute every threat directed at the ruling to cover up with a variety of calipers and 
happy people, who tried to create the perception of the state free state, imprisoning 
behind the revolutionary action of each drug lie shows political personalities as a drug 
addict. However, we do not need to be numbed our ideas that we know very well.

Police put the money in their own pounds of heroin in prison for 12 years to pass the law.

political personality to prison or 12 years!

We are anarchists against the father, the son ongoing fascist state building in 
Azerbaijan, chose direct action, we are in solidarity with our comrades into a power move

The Incarcerated Workers Organizing Committee (IWOC) is a campaign to defend our Sisters 
and Brothers locked up and on the inside. The campaign works to build solidarity and aid 
for those in prison. IWOC works with their families, communities and allies on the 
outside. From everyday needs to the direct support for prisoner resistance, IWOC works to 
build the movement against injustice! ---- Prisoners are on the front lines of the 
struggle against wage slavery and forced slave labor conditions, where refusal to work 
while in prison results in inhumane retaliation. The Industrial Workers of the World (IWW) 
has created IWOC which functions as a liaison for prisoners to organize each other, 
unionize, and to build solid bridges between prisoners on the inside and fellow workers on 
the outside. IWOC understands the importance of organizing with prisoners so that 
prisoners can directly challenge prison slavery, work conditions, and the system itself.

Frequently self-management of Montreuil awarded 1000 euros in feminist reconstruction 
project Kobanî worn by the women's movement Yekîtiya Star. ---- After four successful 
editions, the Fair is to self-management, in 2016, suspended. This was decided by the 
general meeting, feeling fatigue earn ranks. But as its coffers are well stocked, the AG 
decided, however, to make aid to self-management projects in Greece, Turkey, France, in 
Chiapas and Rojava. ---- On February 19, a delegation of the Fair has therefore visited 
the headquarters of the Kurdish left in Paris 10th. She met the collective women Kobanî 
Solidarity, which relays in France the work of the women's movement Yekîtiya Star , 
founded in 2005 in Syrian Kurdistan. ---- This leads, on the spot, three reconstruction 
projects in the city promoting the economic empowerment, political and cultural situation 
of women.

First, you must relaunch two production cooperatives - olive textile - destroyed by the 
Islamic State. Formerly, women were confined to the least skilled labor: the olive harvest 
and cotton. This time the workers maîtriseraient the entire process, from harvesting to 
processing: oil, soap, a hand hygiene products; clothing and other fabrics.

Secondly, it is about building an academy for women, a typical institution of the Kurdish 
left[1]. This is a forum and political development based on knowledge from the experiences 
of women themselves, independently of the state and the University, where male hegemony 
has too often led to relay the patriarchal ideology. The academy will include conference 
rooms and of course, a memory of struggles guardian library and cafeteria. It should also 
include a health center focused on the needs of women (gynecology, obstetrics ...) and 
psychological support to victims of war atrocities.

Visibility of women in public space

Third, before the academy would be built a square with a work of art designed by artists 
from all parts of Kurdistan - probably a mosaic - a tribute to the feminist struggles in 
the Middle East. The issue is the visibility of women in public space.

To finance these projects, the collective women Kobanî Solidarity seeks to collect 30,000 
euros. It organizes support parties and seeks social movement organizations and 
municipalities. For now, he has received no aid from the French feminist movement, neither 
"official" nor "alternative". Frequently self-management gave; City Champigny seems 
interested; the Solidaires union local Rouen held a public meeting on the subject on 11 March.

The money comes gradually. Do not hesitate to invite the women of the group: they are 
ready to intervene in the exchange-sex days or public meetings.
