The Rojava model Jin Jinyan Azidi, women’s equality, the co-chair system, democratic con federalism, not just the path for a new Syria but one that could be adapted to all countries tackling racism, misogyny, inequalities and disunity

Maybe we should adopt the Kurdish model of Co-Chairs, man and woman. As Co Popes, Archbishops, Rabbis, Imams, heads of UN, ICC, ICJ, Security Council, every decision making body at every level? If women ran or co-ran the world far more chance of peace, equality, justice and of saving our planet

Moreover all these world religions are patriarchal to the extreme and all male led are basically
oppressive to women, persecute diverse sexualities and demonise widows

Everyone should google and learn about the Kurdish Women’s Revolution , Kongra Star, read the prison writings of Abdullah Ocalan ( 26 th year in solitary confinement on Imrali island and spread the word! Where women share governance with men, where gender equality, more peace, justice , prosperity.

Over 80 men women children , babies murdered by Israel
last night , just when those surviving in Gaza were celebrating the promised cease -fire . Israel ‘s intentions so clear. The American Jewish vote gold dust to Trump and Starmer won’t stop
arming war criminal
Netanyahu.

Exactly. Central to the Rojava model is gender equality, women’s empowerment, the co-chair system, democratic confederalism, freedom of belief, ecology - it’s a model
For all the people of Syria whatever their religion, ethnicity, and the AANES must be represented in any new administration.

Precisely. And the Dam’s destruction, apart from destroying land, buildings , people will create millions more refugees. It’s a deal
Between Turkey and Israel to give the latter water. The silence is scandalous. Again exposes UK complicity.

Yes the Rojava model is not just a vital one for Syria’s future peace , but for every country, central to it gender equality, women’s empowerment, ecology, democratic confederalism. The DAANES must be represented in any new administration. Turkey must cease its attacks there

I was referring to the Turkish bombing of Tishrin Dam in North+East Syria. Why such silence ?

Trial at old Bailey not till
January 2026!! Over a year of electronic tagging , daily reporting to police stations , and not one of the 6 are members of the PKK ( which anyway should be delisted ).

Not a shred of evidence that that they support terrorism. UK police serves Turkey

The six Kurdish detainees have been bailed, with electronic tags, etc. till Old Bailey trial next March. It’s for them just like being in genocidal Turkey! Clear proof our anti terror police work at behest of Turkeys intelligence (MIT), We must protest this abuse of our justice system

People don’t seem to understand that even if a building housing refugees was classified as a ‘5 Star Hotel’, by the time all the 5 star services like food, staff, reception and furnishings are stripped out and the single room is now sleeping 4 in bunk beds there isn’t much 5 star about it!

The Kurdish community utterly traumatised. One KCC supporter told me it felt “ like rape”. Silence too re. Turkeys bombing and killing Kurdish DAANES in Syria, children among deaths this week. UK arms Turkey like it arms genocidal Israel. Shameful
