In many cities across Europe, Kurds and their friends, led by the European Kurdish Women's Movement (TJK-E), took to the streets to protest the Turkish state's invasion and the Syrian National Army (SNA) attacks against Northern and Eastern Syria.

HAMBURG

In Hamburg, a march was held to protest the invasion and genocide attacks by the Turkish state and its allied SNA militias in Northern and Eastern Syria. Hundreds of Kurds and German activists participated in the march, which was organized by the Hamburg Rojbin Women’s Assembly.

Before the march, Cansu Özdemir, a member of the Left Party in Hamburg, stated that the slogan "Jin Jiyan Azadî" (Women, Life, Freedom) had transformed from a slogan into a manifesto for the freedom of women worldwide, becoming a nightmare for the powers that be. She added that the fear of the Women's Revolution is the reason behind the invasion and annexation attacks on Rojava, and she predicted that in the end, the Kurdish people and Kurdish women would prevail.

Author and activist Anja Flach emphasized that the Turkish state's invasion had displaced hundreds of thousands for the second time and caused a humanitarian crisis in the region. "Today is the day to stand with our people who are suffering due to the war," she said.

Lawyer Yavuz Fersoğlu, who is also running as a candidate for the Left Party in the upcoming elections, called for an immediate halt to the weapons and economic support Western states give to the fascist Turkish government under Erdoğan. "Our children are being murdered, our country is being bombed, so that your states and arms dealers can make money. You, who have strengthened Erdoğan and brought destruction upon our people, are just as guilty of this massacre," he said.

The march featured large banners reading "Stop the Massacre in Rojava" and "Defending Rojava is Defending Humanity," along with flags of TEV DEM and YPG, and chants like "Bijî Berxwedana Rojava" (Long Live the Resistance of Rojava), "Terrorist Erdoğan," and "Jin Jiyan Azadî."

AMSTERDAM

In the Dutch capital, Amsterdam, hundreds of Kurds and Dutch activists gathered in response to TJK-E’s call to support Rojava and protest the invasion attacks. The demonstration, organized by the Dutch Kurdish Women’s Union (YJK-H), marched from Leidsplein to Dam Square, where a statement about the Turkish state's invasion was read in English. At the end of the protest, speeches were made in Kurdish, English, and Dutch.

The protesters chanted "Terrorist Erdoğan," "EU financed Turkey bombs," "Jin Jiyan Azadî," "Woman Life Freedom," and "Bijî Berxwedana Rojava."

In Nuremberg, a protest was held against the attacks on Rojava. The protest, which started as a rally, turned into a march due to the large turnout. Speakers stated that "Rojava resists with the spirit of Kobanê, and the spirit of Kobanê is the herald of Kurdistan."

They warned that the attacks on Rojava by the Turkish-backed militias would lead to their downfall, and emphasized that the Turkish state would either accept the reality of Kurdistan or be drowned in the ocean they have entered.
