The fourth Sardinian march of internationalist solidarity, Kurdistan Path, kicked off on Saturday 23 March, and has been crossing the island in its internal mountains, on the edge of the fortieth parallel.

The last two stages of the march will take place this weekend: Saturday 20 April 2024: Genna Cruxi - Golgo (stop Genna Selole, s.s. 125, Baunei mountain), and Sunday 21 April 2024: Golgo - Pedralonga (stop Ginnirco, Is Piggius sheepfold - Selvaggio Blu).

The March started from the western sea (S'Archittu, municipality of Cuglieri) and will end on the eastern sea (Pedralonga, municipality of Baunei). It offered meetings in the villages that have been crossed and is 180 km long, divided into eight stages.

The initiative is promoted by the Cobas Scuola Sardegna Association and is supported by the Kurdistan Sardinia Network - Freedom for Öcalan, by the ASCE - Sardinian Association Against Marginalization and by the Association for Antonio Gramsci of Ghilarza.

The organizers said: "In this year 2024 in the Middle East, the sacrificial scene has become daily, but on an unspeakable scale: the crimes of repression (Turkey, Iran, Syria, Arabia etc.), although so cruel, can somehow find a measure compatible with words. But war crimes, when they target defenseless human masses, making them the terminal object of persecution plans and genocidal practices, also overwhelm language: we can see images, but they themselves become "unspeakable" because they are truly unthinkable. This is Palestine today, it is the unspeakable, it is the inhuman that takes possession of the world.

We cannot therefore avoid walking in the name of peace, peace everywhere, fighting so that war is expelled from history and its instruments are canceled forever. Walking certainly doesn't solve: but it has always stood in situations like these as a humble testimony and as a disarmed prayer. This is why we propose it again on our island, as we have already done in the last three years for the Rojava tragedy, for the prisoners deprived of all rights in Turkey and for the interminable imprisonment and for the release of President Abdullah Öcalan and all the other prisoners, and now faced with the frightening risk of general war."
