More from the antiauthoritarian Newroz (New Years) celebrations tonight in Sine/Saneh/Sanandaj of Rojhelat/NW Iran. You know those slogan by now... ;-)
"Long live the guerrilla resistance!", on of the slogans as the locals celebrate New Years, Newroz, tonight in the Qandil/Qendîl Mountains in Başûr (southern) Kurdistan/northern Iraq, where the guerrillas YJA Star and HPG of the antiauthoritarian feminist political party for peaceful coexistence and ecology, PKK, defend the people against the war of aggression by NATO's imperialist dictator Erdoğan.
A New Years statement from the Free Trade Union of Iran release just now, rough abbreviated translation: ───────── Nowruz is the bringer of freedom
Nowruz arrived for 1402 with the call of freedom. The streets were filled with the slogan of freedom, "women, life, freedom" and death to the dictator.
This year, both nature and society are working together to transform winter and darkness into spring and light.
We came through 1401. A year full of sadness, filled with the pain of losing the dearest lives. But at the same time, a year full of hope for transformation, a year of the greatest determination and collective will of humanity, which promise spring and prosperity.
The New Year celebrations are a continuation of the revolution and this revolution represents the deepest transformation for the entire human society. A revolution that clearly shows it is time for us the people to put an end to elite rule over society and all tyranny, exploitation and subjugation, and start on a new plan.
The Free Trade Union of Iran congratulates all freedom-loving and egalitarian people on the arrival of Nowruz.
On Nowruz, we will be with the families of the loved ones who died in our revolution and we will turn the coming year into a year of fulfilling their dreams.
The Iran-regime's repression forces were shooting teargas, shotguns and kalashnikovs at the people in Bukan of Rojhelat/NW Iran, maybe about an hour ago to stop them from celebrating the new year, but now here they are anyway... lighting the fire of antiauthoritarian Newroz.
"Four civilians lost their lives in Janders district [of Turkey-occupied Syria], by the bullets of the Turkish occupation mercenaries while they lit the Newroz fire on the roof of their house."
"Freedom" in fire on the mountain for Newroz, the ongoing antiauthoritarian New Years, at the village Qellaterreşê/Qaleh Rash with about 1k residents in Rojhelat/NW Iran.
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.
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.
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:
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.
"Time to Overthrow the Fascist Government!" https://kck-info.com/statement-mar1823/ 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.
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. ;-)
I believe reporting about events as accurately as possible helps move the world in a positive direction.I believe voluntary mutual aid is better than imposed mutual destruction.Resistance to oppression is inherent to all life.Liberation can not be imposed no matter how well intended, as that only changes whose will is imposed on others.Visually impaired.
