This week’s review from Sarah Glynn focuses on two places where civilians are fleeing for their lives: the IDP camps in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq, where Yazidi genocide survivors are fearful of a new attack by their Sunni Muslim neighbours; and Deir ez-Zor in North and East Syria, where Syrian government forces and Iranian-backed militias are carrying out attacks, and where eleven civilians were killed by a Syrian Army bombardment on Thursday night.

After Öcalan’s call, Turkish society has a long way to go 5:39

16 weeks тому5:39

Despite Abdullah Öcalan’s historic call for peace, Turkey remains deeply resistant to change. Fréderike Geerdink argues that while Kurds are ready for a peaceful resolution, Turkish society and politics remain frozen, refusing to move even an inch. The media's treatment of Öcalan’s message, including the silencing of the Kurdish language, exposes deep-seated racism and a continued reluctance to engage in genuine dialogue. With the government shaping the public narrative to suit its agenda, the question remains: can Turkey take real steps toward peace, or is this yet another wasted opportunity?…

The Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria is under existential attack from Turkey and their mercenaries. This has been a week of broken ceasefire agreements and of difficult negotiations. The Administration has put forward proposals and compromises, but is ready for total resistance, while Erdoğan has restated his neo-Ottoman ambitions. The United States is in the middle, but political solutions are not helped by the lack of public awareness and so of public pressure.…
