March for Afrin in Cologne

The march will begin at 11.00 from the Ebert Platz.

A march will take place in Cologne today to protest the Turkish state’s occupation of Afrin, the wall of shame they constructed around the city and their latest invasion operation against Southern Kurdistan.

The march will begin at 11.00 from the Ebert Platz.

The march is organised by Fed Med-NRW (Mesopotamia Free Society Federation), the Afrin Platform (PYD, Maras Initiative, Middle Anatolia Kurds Platform-PKAN), Dersim Reconstruction Congress, Southern and Eastern Kurdistan Representatives, Mesopotamian Faiths Union (FEDA, NAV-YEK, CIK), Kurdish Women’s Union Germany (YJK-E), Revolutionary Youth Movement and Fed Med NRW Federation Councils.

In a statement, the promoters said: "The invading Turkish state continues their policies of pillaging, violence and forced migrations that they employed for a long time in Bakur and are now implementing in the occupation of Afrin more openly and violently in Bashur and all of Kurdistan."
