Serhildan Paris, days of action in solidarity with Kurds

Activists in Paris carried out various actions to condemn Turkish use of chemical weapons and attacks on Kurds.

On 30 November, activists in Paris made a mural in the Henri-Noguères street to denounce, through art, the Turkish chemical weapons attacks against Kurds.

On 1 December, the activists went to the Invalides next to the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the National Assembly to denounce the silence of the French state. 

The activists said in a statement: "At this demonstration, we understood that internationalist youth and women must be the vanguard of international solidarity in support of the revolutions of all oppressed and colonised peoples. We understood that internationalist young people and women must resist our colonialist, imperialist and capitalist states who only form alliances out of circumstances, such as France's alliance with the Kurdish resistance forces against ISIS and which today are abandoning the same Kurdish people in the face of Turkey's attacks."

Underlining that "serhildan" in Kurmanji means "uprising", the activists said that "the internationalist young people and women must build up and continue the work already done by our comrades. All of us together. An international uprising led by youth and women to create and reproduce a currently existing alternative to capitalist
modernity."
