Cumhurbaşkanı’nın daha önce onlarca kez tekrarladığı, Fırat Kalkanı operasyonunun neden yapıldığını açıkladığı konuşmayı ilk defa duymuş gibi, gazetecileri de görmemekle itham ederek, eviriyor, çeviriyor, Türkiye DAESH’e göz yumdu diye saçmalıyor... Bu ahmaklık sizi hiç mi rahatsız etmiyor?
Einige Dutzend Syrer halten eine Kundgebung am Berliner Alexanderplatz unter dem Motto "Syria wants Freedom" ab.

Zudem bekennen sie sich zu denn Zielen der syrischen Revolution von Freiheit und Demokratie.

Rund 3.000 Menschen, überwiegend Kurden und Angehöriger linker Gruppen, demonstrieren in Berlins Mitte gegen den Einmarsch von Truppen der Türkei in die Region Rojava im Nordosten Syriens.
Zwischenzeitlich wurde die Demonstration gestoppt, nachdem über einem Block linker Gruppen eine YPG-Fahne geshalten wurde. Nachdem diese entfernt war setzte die Demonstration ihren Weg fort. Hin und wieder kamen Rauchkerzen seitens der Demonstration zum Einsatz. Weitere Zwischenfälle gab es nicht.
Die selbstverwaltete Region wird von den kurdischen Selbstverteidigungseinheiten YPG und YPJ verteidigt. Bei den Kämpfen in den letzten Tagen sollen hunderte Menschen ihr Leben verloren haben. Über 100.000 Menschen sind auf der Flucht.
In Reden werden sowohl die Türkei, als auch die ehemaligen Verbündeten der YPG/YPJ kritisiert.
Die Türkei sieht in der YPG/YPJ einen Ableger der Kurdischen Arbeiterpartei PKK und sieht sie daher als Terroristen an. Derweil waren die kurdischen Einheiten in den letztzen Jahren der engste Verbündete des Westens, insbesondere der USA im Kampf gegen Daesh (IS). Durch die Entscheidung des US-Präsidenten Donald Trump, die eigenen Truppen aus den kurdischen Gebieten abzuziehen, eröffnete er der Türkei die Möglichkeit des Einmarschs.
Mehrere Dutzend syrische Aktivisten und Unterstützer der demokratischen Opposition in Syrien protestieren mit einer Kundgebung am Brandenburger Tor in Berlin gegen das Regime von Diktator Baschar al-Assad. Ebenso sprechen sie sich gegen die Anwesenheit von Truppen Russlands und des Iran, sowie von Milizen wie der Hisbollah aus. Ebenso richten sich Sprechchöre gegen Daesh. Sie fordern ein Ende des Assad-Regimes und die Ahndung von Kriegsverbrechen.
Zeitgleich steht auf der anderen Seite des Brandenburger Tores das Kunstwerk "Monument" von Manaf Halbouni im Rahmen des 3. Herbstsalons. Dieses erinnert an Busse, die im syrischen Aleppo zum Schutze von Zivilisten vor Scharfschützen aufgestellt wurden.
The legend of the 4th cent Sts Behnam and Sarah casts Sennacherib (r.705-681 BCE), under the name Sinharib, as their royal father. After Behnam converts to Christianity, Sinharib orders his execution, but is later struck by a dangerous disease that is cured through being baptized by St Matthew in Assur. Thankful, Sinharib then converts to Christianity and founds an important monastery near Mosul, called Deir Mar Mattai.
The Monastery was destroyed on March 19, 2015, by Daesh (Isis) who desecrated the exterior murals in all of the monastery's buildings. Repair work restoring the monastery and the tomb of Mar Behnam to its pre-ISIS condition was completed by December 2018.

Diyarbakir (Amed), Fête du Newroz 2015. Cette année, la fête de Newroz qui marque le nouvel an kurde, symbole de renaissance et de résistance pour ce peuple, se déroule dans un contexte particulièrement tendu. Depuis décembre 2015, l'était turc assiège et bombarde des quartiers entiers de villes kurdes, où populatins civiles comme militants sont indistinctement massacrés, et soumet l'ensemble de la population kurde à un violente répression. D'un autre côté, la peur d'un attentat suicide de daesh est dans toutes les têtes. Malgré tout, même si ils sont moins nombreux que les années passées, les Kurdes se rejoignent à Amed, capitale du Kurdistan, pour fêter Newroz et célébrer leur résistance.
These young women gave an incredibly strong speech about the horrific events they and their families went through. They are a reminder to all of us what Europe should be about, why it is our duty to stop Daesh and do all we can for the refugees, regardless of faith and ethnicity.

Position des HPG, les combattants du PKK, au sud de Kirkuk près de la bille de Hawijah. La semaine précédente, ils ont du intervenir à Kirkuk même pour aider les peshmergas à contrer une attaque surprise de daesh dans la ville. Sur ce front, quelques accrochages réguliers se produisent. Mais le plus souvent, un grand silence règne dans les champs abandonnés et les ruines des villages bombardés par la coalition.
Die Partei Die Linke verleiht in Berlin Kreuzberg zum achten Mal den Clara-Zetkin-Frauenpreis an Initiativen, die sich im vergangenen Jahr für die Rechte von Frauen in der Gesellschaft stark gemacht haben.
Preisträger 2018 ist die Initiative "TAJÊ - Freiheitsbewegung/Frauenräte der ezidischen Frauen", die jesidische Frauen berät und in der Bewältigung ihrer Erlebnisse durch die Verfolgung und Versklavung durch Daesh (IS) hilft. Der Sonderpreis geht dieses Jahr an Dr. Kristina Hänel, die nicht nur auf ein Leben im Kampf für die Rechte von Frauen zurückblicken kann, sondern zudem auch bundesweite Bekanntheit erlangte, nachdem sie nach §219a StGB verurteilt wurde.
Insgesamt wurden acht Initiativen nominiert. Der CareSlam! wurde von Yvonne Falckner begründet und gibt Pflegenden eine Bühne, um über ihre Arbeitsbedingungen zu sprechen. Bekannt wurde das Format durch einen Auftritt der CareSlammerin Sabrina Maar in der ZDF-Sendung "Die Anstalt" Anfang Dezember 2017. Ebenfalls nominiert wurde ein "Containerprojekt für wohnungslose Frauen", welches sich den besonderen Anforderungen von Frauen und Transgendern in der Obdachlosigkeit annimmt und ihnen eine unterkunft bietet. Das "Frauenorchesterprojekt (FOP)" ist ein Frauenchor unter der Leitung von Mary Ellen Kitchens, welcher es sich zur Aufgabe gemacht hat, Musik von Frauen hörbar zu machen. Die "Kontaktstelle "Frauen für Frauen" wurde ebenso nominiert wie "RosaLinde e.V.- Queer Refugee Network" kämpft gegen die sprichwörtlichen "Sächsischen Zustände" an, indem es queeren Geflüchteten in Leipzig Unterstützung und Beratung zuteil werden lässt. Der "ver.di-Bezirksfrauenrat München" legt ein Augenmerk auf die Bedürfnisse und Herausforderungen von Frauen im Berufsleben.
Die einzelnen Projekte wurden von Politikerinnen der Partei Die Linke vorgestellt. Darunter waren Simone Barrientos (MdB), Lucy Redler, Juliane Nagel (MdB). Die Preise wurden von Katja Kipping übergeben. Für die musikalische Begleitung sorgte die Rapperin aus Zimbabwe AWA KHIWE.

Mehrere dutzend Angehörige der irkaischen Shabak Minderheit demonstrieren in Berlin gegen die sogenannten Islamischen Staat (IS). Laut Yousif Muharam, Vertreter der Shabak in Deutschland befinden sich rund 350.000 Shabak im Irak auf der Flucht. Mehrere ihrer Moscheen seien bereits durch den Islamischen Staat (IS) zerstört worden. Zudem seien viele vom IS entführt. Er vergleicht die Situation der Shabak mit der der Jesiden, mit denen man auch gemeinsam protestiert habe und äußert sich enttäuscht über die mangelnde Resonanz in den Medien für ihr Schicksal.
Die Protestierenden fordern das Recht auf Asyl in der EU für die Shabak, sowie ein internationales Eingreifen gegen den IS.
Rund 70 Kurden protestieren in Berlin auf dem ALexanderplatz für de Freilassung des PKK-Führers Abdullah Öcalan, der auf der türkischen Gefängnisinsel Imrali einsitzt.
In Sprechchören und Redebeiträgen bekunden die Teilnehmer ihre Unterstüzung mit Öcalan, der PKK, sowie der nordsyrischen YPG/YPJ. Sie weisen zudem auf den Kampf der YPG/YPJ gegen radikalislamische Milizen wie Daesh (ISIS) und der Al-Nusrah-Front hin. Sie fordern die sofortige Freilassung Öcalans aus türkischer Haft und betonen die Bedeutung des PKK-Gründers für den Frieden in der Region. Zudem wenden sie sich gegen das Regime des türkischen Präsidenten Recep Tayyip Erdogan und seiner AKP.
Es werden während der Kundgebung nur Fahnen in den kurdischen Farben gezeigt, jedoch keine der YPG/YPJ oder mit dem Porträt Öcalans.
Mehre Dutzend Menschen beteiligen sich an einer Kundgebung vor dem Reichstag in Berlin, um gegen anhaltende Angriffe auf das Volk der Jesiden im Norden des Iraks zu protestieren. Für die Angriffe werden kurdische Peshmerga-Gruppen verantwortlich gemacht. Es wird von den Teilnehmern kritisiert, dass diese Gruppen von der Bundesrepublik mit Waffen ausgestattet wurden (ursprünglich zum Kampf gegen Daesh) und diese sich nun gegen die Jesiden richteten. An den Jesiden wurde bereits von Daesh (ISIS) ein Völkermord verübt.
Unterstützt werden die Jesiden auf der Kundgebung durch Kurden. Diese zeigen auch Fahnen der nord-syrischen Volksbefreiungseinheiten YPG und YPG, sowie des YBS. Das Zeigen von Symbolen dieser Organisationen wurde jüngst durch des Bundesministerium des Innern (BMI) verboten. Ebenso wurde eine Flagge mit dem Porträt von Abdullah Öcalan gezeigt. Ob dieses unter des ebenfalls jüngst erlassene Verbot von Porträts des PKK-Führers fällt, ist nicht klar. Die anwesende Polizei schritt nicht ein.
On Global Open Day on UNSCR 1325, calls for men to champion and support women’s participation in politics and in decision-making
Basra, 01 November 2017 – The United Nations Assistance Mission for Iraq (UNAMI), jointly with UNWOMEN and in coordination with the Implementation and Follow Up National Reconciliation Committee (IFNRC) of the Office of Iraq’s Prime Minister, held a consultative forum with women leaders and members of the Basra, Muthanna, Thi Qar and Missan Provincial Councils in Basra on 01 November 2017 with the focus on strengthening women’s political participation. This is the fourth such meeting within the context of observing the Global Open Day and the 17th Anniversary of UN Security Council resolution 1325.
As in the previous consultative meetings that were held in Karbala, Baghdad and Erbil in October, the participants in Basra echoed the similar concerns by women leaders across the country. They noted the retrogression of women’s participation in Iraq’s politics. They urged UNAMI and UNWOMEN to engage male champions to support women’s participation and to also press the heads of political blocs and political leaders to act in support of women issues.
In her intervention, Ms. Yusra Naji, member of Missan Provincial Council, decried male political leaders for marginalizing women. “The Iraqi society is male dominated, women are not invited to negotiations, they have no political rights, they are not represented in the Presidency, the Council of Representatives presidency, there are only two women Ministers, yet there is no legislation preventing women from occupying these high level positions,” Ms. Naji said.
Ms. Zahra al-Bachari Member of Basra Provincial Council, noted that “men can help lead the charge with women in enacting legislation that promotes women’s rights, repealing laws and policies that discriminate against women and limit opportunities. She further added: “Women should be promoted to leadership positions as we are observing the upcoming elections of both Provincial and Council of representatives, elections we aim to have more women represented in decision-making positions.”
Special Representative of the Secretary-General (SRSG) for Iraq Ján Kubiš, in remarks delivered by UNAMI Director of Political Affairs, Manoj Mathew, reiterated that Gender balance in Iraqi politics can only be achieved if political leaders could work side by side with women to share responsibility of breaking cultural norms and practices as well as institutional, structural and legal barriers that hinder women’s equal and meaningful political participation.
“We need male champions, proactive work by male champions, in partnership with women is necessary to establish an environment that empowers women’s political participation at all levels of governance and decision-making.”
“For the historic settlement and reconciliation to succeed it must be inclusive. This is critically important for the unity and stability of the country and peaceful coexistence amongst all citizens, components and minorities. Women – and youth - must be critical agents of such positive change, in building a new post-Daesh Iraq, in shaping the future of the country for the generations to come,” the SRSG’s statement said.
Mr. Kubiš acknowledged the efforts of the Cross-Sector Task Force on the implementation of the Iraq National Action Plan on 1325, while stressing that “it is time to strengthen the implementation of the participation pillar of the Iraqi National Action Plan on the Security Council Resolution 1325 which reaffirms the important role of women in the prevention and resolution of conflicts.”
UNAMI Gender Advisor, Ms. Mmabatlharo Dihemo, emphasized that political leaders can support the advancement of women in decision-making bodies by advocating for temporary special measures, promoting women to leadership roles and ensuring woman have equal career development opportunities.
UN WOMEN Representative in Iraq, Ms. Dina Zorba, commended the government, civil society, and national and international partners for continued commitment to UNSCR 1325. Ms. Zorba urged the government to work to ensure gender issues are incorporated in all democratization and nation-building agendas, and called on the UN, the government, and the International Community to continue to advocate for and protect the rights of women and girls.Ms. Zorba emphasized UN commitment to refocusing its work around women’s political participation at all levels.

'The Religion of God (Divine Love) by HDE Lord Ra Riaz Gohar Shahi not only talks about spirituality in unprecedented details, at the same time, it tells us the future. It is so concise yet covers everything about God, Prophets, Saints, Religions, you and me. 'There is nothing that exists that doesn’t exist in this book. It contains the untold mysteries and secrets of God.' - HH Younus AlGohar

These young women gave an incredibly strong speech about the horrific events they and their families went through. They are a reminder to all of us what Europe should be about, why it is our duty to stop Daesh and do all we can for the refugees, regardless of faith and ethnicity.
Deux semaines après les attentats, les gens se rassemblent encore autour de cette place, symbole de la liberté.
Nel mese di agosto del 2014 oltre 400000 componenti della comunità yazida hanno dovuto abbandonare le loro case mentre Daesh conquistava, devastandole, ampie estensioni di territorio iracheno. Molti di loro sono stati fatti prigionieri e giustiziati, migliaia di donne e bambini sono stati ridotti in schiavitù. Chi è riuscito a fuggire si è rifugiato sulle montagne di Sinjar, per poi raggiungere i campi profughi della regione del Kurdistan iracheno.
Il campo profughi di Khanke – il luogo dove sono ospitate le ragazze autrici delle fotografie e da cui provengono gli scatti – ospita quasi tremila famiglie, fuggite dalla provincia irachena di Ninive. Nonostante il trauma e gli orrori a cui ha assistito, la comunità yazida ha dimostrato caparbietà e una grande capacità di reagire, di cui la mostra fotografica è un toccante esempio.

Rund 3.000 Menschen, überwiegend Kurden und Angehöriger linker Gruppen, demonstrieren in Berlins Mitte gegen den Einmarsch von Truppen der Türkei in die Region Rojava im Nordosten Syriens.
Zwischenzeitlich wurde die Demonstration gestoppt, nachdem über einem Block linker Gruppen eine YPG-Fahne geshalten wurde. Nachdem diese entfernt war setzte die Demonstration ihren Weg fort. Hin und wieder kamen Rauchkerzen seitens der Demonstration zum Einsatz. Weitere Zwischenfälle gab es nicht.
Die selbstverwaltete Region wird von den kurdischen Selbstverteidigungseinheiten YPG und YPJ verteidigt. Bei den Kämpfen in den letzten Tagen sollen hunderte Menschen ihr Leben verloren haben. Über 100.000 Menschen sind auf der Flucht.
In Reden werden sowohl die Türkei, als auch die ehemaligen Verbündeten der YPG/YPJ kritisiert.
Die Türkei sieht in der YPG/YPJ einen Ableger der Kurdischen Arbeiterpartei PKK und sieht sie daher als Terroristen an. Derweil waren die kurdischen Einheiten in den letztzen Jahren der engste Verbündete des Westens, insbesondere der USA im Kampf gegen Daesh (IS). Durch die Entscheidung des US-Präsidenten Donald Trump, die eigenen Truppen aus den kurdischen Gebieten abzuziehen, eröffnete er der Türkei die Möglichkeit des Einmarschs.
UNAMI Training Ends with a Call to Strengthen the Capacities of Women to Participate Meaningfully in National Reconciliation and Historic Settlement Process
Baghdad, Iraq, 22 December 2017 – A training to enhance the negotiation and mediation skills of local civil society groups and women leaders, organized by the United Nations Assistance Mission for Iraq (UNAMI) and UN Women, concluded in Baghdad on 20 December with calls for increased participation of women and civil society groups in community reconciliation, national reconciliation and historic settlement. The training was a follow-up to the basic training and workshop delivered to the same participants in October 2016. The workshop aimed at training women leaders to be effective mediators and facilitators. It also focused on the important role women can play in peace building, negotiations and political processes. Similar training and workshops have been delivered to 60 women leaders, human rights defenders, members of provincial, district and sub districts councils in the Southern Governorates of Karbala, Najaf, Babil, Qadisiya, Wasit, Basra, Muthana, Dhi Qqar and Missan.
Women leaders at the workshop emphasized their readiness to UNAMI/UNWOMEN to advocate for their full participation and to offer them opportunities to participate in negotiations and reconciliation alongside their male counterparts. They agreed to form networks within their communities to address post Daesh issues like trust building among affected communities, de-radicalization of violent extremism as well as reconciling communities. They urged the UN to support their efforts towards rebuilding broken communities in the aftermath of the conflict with Daesh. They also urged the UN to strengthen women’s participation in the negotiations and political arena which was limited for women.
Speaking at the closing session of the four-day training, Ms. Mmabatlharo Nono Dihemo, Gender Advisor for UNAMI stressed the importance of strengthening the capacities of women to participate meaningfully in national reconciliation and historic settlement. Ms. Dihemo said: “Limited progress has been made towards increasing women representation in negotiation and mediation processes in Iraq. One of the reasons attributed to this is the belief by some that women lack the confidence and capacity to participate in such processes aimed at shaping the future of the country”.
However, Iraqi women are resilient, and have shown that they are capable of leading and influencing the political arena. Ms Dihemo said that “despite the explicit goal to promote women’s participation, as envisaged in the Iraq National Action Plan (INAP), women’s direct political participation in national reconciliation has continued to remain low and this needs to be recognized and addressed”.
She mentioned that she met with political leaders in Baghdad, Erbil and Suleymania and discussed ways to strengthen the participation of women in decision making and political processes. Ms Dihemo assured that UNAMI and UNWOMEN will work with all stakeholders to ensure the establishment of measures and legal frameworks that guarantee the participation of women in all three arms of the government, particularly the judiciary where women are underrepresented; and in national and community reconciliation processes; cabinet and government institutions.

The legend of the 4th cent Sts Behnam and Sarah casts Sennacherib (r.705-681 BCE), under the name Sinharib, as their royal father. After Behnam converts to Christianity, Sinharib orders his execution, but is later struck by a dangerous disease that is cured through being baptized by St Matthew in Assur. Thankful, Sinharib then converts to Christianity and founds an important monastery near Mosul, called Deir Mar Mattai.
The Monastery was destroyed on March 19, 2015, by Daesh (Isis) who desecrated the exterior murals in all of the monastery's buildings. Repair work restoring the monastery and the tomb of Mar Behnam to its pre-ISIS condition was completed by December 2018.
These young women gave an incredibly strong speech about the horrific events they and their families went through. They are a reminder to all of us what Europe should be about, why it is our duty to stop Daesh and do all we can for the refugees, regardless of faith and ethnicity.
