In the German city of Essen, Kurdish children staged a demonstration under the motto “Protect life and ecology, stop the war”.

The demonstration organised by the Kurdish Language Institute was joined by 30 children with their families.

The group denounced massacres caused by wars, and the destruction of children and nature in Kurdistan territory.

Spakers called on German families, too, to raise their voices against European countries, in order that the German state does not sell arms to Turkey which murders children and destroys nature.

Connor Hayes from the University of Cambridge said; “Systems do always fight against peoples and nature. We should take the free and equal life in Rojava as a model for ourselves. I came to the Kurdish Institute and attending Kurdish classes in order to develop a better relationship with the Kurds and their children.”
