Activists pay tribute to internationalist Andrea Wolf in Frankfurt

The Frankfurt Youth Commune had invited activists to Bockenheim to commemorate Andrea Wolf. The internationalist, known as guerrilla Ronahî was killed by the Turkish army 24 years ago.

The Frankfurt Youth Commune invited activists to Bockenheim on Sunday to commemorate Andrea Wolf. The internationalist was captured by the Turkish military on 23 October 1998. She was a guerrilla and her Kurdish name was Ronahî. She was captured in Çatak near Van and extrajudicially executed. At least 24 other guerrillas died with her that day.

The commemoration began with a minute's silence for Andrea Wolf and all the other internationalists who died in the liberation struggle. This was followed by a discussion on the current political situation in Kurdistan. The debate focused on the chemical weapons attacks by the Turkish state against the guerrillas in Kurdistan, which have been escalating for months. The meeting was then devoted to the life and work of Andrea Wolf.
