Heathwood Press » Revolution, History and Dominating Social Systems: Notes on a foundational approach to systemic change (Lecture notes, 2013-2014) | Peer2Politics | Scoop.it

Havin Guneser on the Rojava Revolution | P2P Foundation | Peer2Politics | Scoop.it

“At mid-afternoon on 15 September 2014, the foreign minister of Kobane, Omer Mus, received a call from a UN official stating that Turkey was prepared to take in 40,000 refugees crossing the border from Kobane. Hours later, ISIS began attacking the city from all three sides and the YPG and YPJ forces began a massive evacuation of tens of thousands of villagers. Those that remained took part in a historic defence of their city, which, had it not been successful, could have had disastrous consequences for the people of the region.
