   After a few days of reports of fires having been started on several continents for the explicitly antiauthoritarian New Years event between March 19-22 by the (worldwide most commonly used) Gregorian calendar, the Kurdish/Persian/Iranian Newroz/Nowruz, here's a video published ½ hour ago from a Newroz event taking place in Exeter, Cornwall, U.K.

   The current year is 2722 Kurdish and 1401 Iranian.

   What do I mean "antiauthoritarian New Years"?
   Well, have https://anfenglish.com/news/the-story-of-kawa-and-newroz-25623 a read about the legend of Kaveh/Kawa. :-)

     40 songs, 2 hours and 36 minutes long, in Kurmancî (northern Kurdish).

     The freedom guerrillas in Rojhelat/NW Iran whose slogan "Women! Life! Freedom!" (Jin! Jiyan! Azadî!) spread from them to all Iran as the main slogan of the ongoing antiauthoritarian feminist protests, uprising, revolution against the Iran-regime, lit their antiauthoritarian New Years celebrations (Newroz) fire in the mountains.
     Newroz pîroz be! (Happy New Year!)

     The original video was... a bit slow, so I cut over half of it. ;-)

     A new statement today from the umbrella organization for democratic confederalism parties, KCK,
     on the ongoing activities for this antiauthoritarian New Years, Newroz/Nowruz, which is rooted in the ~5000 year old legend of Kawa/Kaveh the Blacksmith's defeat of the tyrant Dehak/Zahhak.

     Another scene from an antiauthoritarian New Years celebration in Tehran yesterday,
     to the soundtrack of the song "for freedom",
     made an instant antiauthoritarian feminist classic by the regime arresting the author for creating it.

     Released just now, video from the antiauthoritarian New Years celebrations for this Newroz in Bremen, Germany.

     Sooo nice. Just a tiny bit of moisture in my eyes. ;-)
     Yes, by the way, that's the flags of the feminist antifascist guerrillas YPJ and YPG. :antifa: :feminism:

     Scenes from the News Years celebrations today in Berlin for the antiauthoritarian Newroz, from a not yet translated article by the ANF news agency.
     I cut out a bunch of speeches, because... not in English.
