Desde nuestra solidaridad en el continente que habitamos, con atenci\u00f3n al Medio Oriente y al Kurdist\u00e1n y simult\u00e1neamente hacia M\u00e9xico, Argentina, Venezuela, Colombia, Honduras, Guatemala, Chile, Bolivia, Ecuador, Brasil, Paraguay y todo Centroam\u00e9rica asumimos la emergencia del Covid-19 en t\u00e9rminos de migraciones transnacionales en contexto de guerra, militarizaci\u00f3n y despojo. Vemos los efectos de la pandemia manifestarse mientras crece el contagio de los desplazamientos forzados, los asesinatos de las personas defensoras del territorio, los y las presas pol\u00edticas, las personas refugiadas creadas por la guerra y los golpes de Estado. Mientras desde M\u00e9xico desafiamos el aislamiento impuesto por el Covid-19 siguiendo nuestras actividades organizativas y generando redes de apoyo mutuo y solidaridad, declaramos lo siguiente:<\/p>\n<p><!--more-->\u2022 Denunciamos que Abdullah \u00d6calan, fil\u00f3sofo y revolucionario anticapitalista, cr\u00edtico del socialismo real, haya pasado este 4 de Abril su cumplea\u00f1os 71 en una c\u00e1rcel de m\u00e1xima seguridad en la isla-prisi\u00f3n de Imrali, tras 21 a\u00f1os de encarcelamiento luego de su secuestro llevado a cabo en desprecio de las convenciones internacionales de los derechos humanos. Hoy m\u00e1s que nunca, reconociendo el rol clave que Abdullah \u00d6calan ha jugado y sigue jugando en la b\u00fasqueda de una soluci\u00f3n pac\u00edfica a la cuesti\u00f3n kurda exigimos su libertad as\u00ed como la de todas las presas y presos pol\u00edticos en Turqu\u00eda.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 En un contexto de m\u00e1s de 900.000 desplazados y millones de muertos por la guerra, denunciamos la invasi\u00f3n turca en Rojava, Kurdist\u00e1n y el rol de la dictatorial Turqu\u00eda sobre el control de los flujos migratorios, como lo vimos en la frontera turco-siria y griego-turca. En el marco de una grave escalada nacionalista de cierre de fronteras, estamos enfrente de una situaci\u00f3n que condena a la muerte a cualquier persona que huya de la guerra en curso por ausencia de agua, por hambre o por contagio de Covid-19.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Denunciamos que frente a los llamados de la ONU de cese al fuego en el Norte Siria, aceptados por las unidades de autodefensa confederadas en las Fuerzas Democr\u00e1ticas Sirias as\u00ed como por las YPG (Unidades de Defensa del Pueblo) y las YPJ (Unidades de Defensa de las Mujeres), Turqu\u00eda contin\u00faa bombardeando las aldeas de Rojava. Mientras que un Tribunal Internacional contra los cr\u00edmenes del Estado Isl\u00e1mico se est\u00e1 estableciendo en la Administraci\u00f3n Aut\u00f3noma del Norte y Este de Siria, los ataques incesantes de Turqu\u00eda, en complicidad con la Uni\u00f3n Europea y otras organizaciones internacionales, provocan la reorganizaci\u00f3n del Estado Isl\u00e1mico como fuerza de desestabilizaci\u00f3n de Medio Oriente y peligro para el mundo. En este sentido llamamos con urgencia al cese al fuego en Rojava, en el Norte y Este de Siria.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Condenamos la crisis sanitaria provocada por los bombardeos y los cortes de agua de Turqu\u00eda hacia Rojava y la irresponsabilidad por parte de los distintos Estados y organizaciones multilaterales como la ONU y la OMS, que act\u00faan por la conservaci\u00f3n de la econom\u00eda dominante por encima de la de la vida. Por el contrario, tomamos como ejemplos los procesos aut\u00f3nomos y comunitarios desde M\u00e9xico hasta Rojava que nos han demostrado que la organizaci\u00f3n econ\u00f3mica tiene que basarse en el beneficio de los pueblos y de la sociedad, y tiene que reorientar las metas productivas en la medida de lo posible para que se garantice el abasto de los materiales y bienes necesarios para afrontar la situaci\u00f3n de crisis social, ecol\u00f3gica y econ\u00f3mica, que ya exist\u00eda antes del Covid-19.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Valoramos el rol de paz entre todas las identidades pol\u00edticas regionales y reconocemos la auto-organizaci\u00f3n comunal, ecol\u00f3gica y pac\u00edfica de diferentes pueblos dentro de la Administraci\u00f3n Aut\u00f3noma del Norte y Este de Siria y su perspectiva de Confederalismo Democr\u00e1tico como una alternativa intercultural de organizaci\u00f3n social para la salida del dominio de vida de la modernidad capitalista y de la mentalidad patriarcal. Esta alternativa se basa en la democracia directa y pone la defensa del Planeta como primer eje en el respeto de la Madre Tierra. Asimismo, la consideramos como una de las \u00fanicas v\u00edas democr\u00e1ticas de salida al conflicto generado en Medio Oriente por una guerra de poder global.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Llamamos a repensar desde contextos pol\u00edticos y sociales diferentes al sistema dominante y tomando en cuenta el camino de los pueblos originarios tanto en Rojava como en M\u00e9xico, Centro y Sudam\u00e9rica, estrategias para la implementaci\u00f3n de una salud comunitaria basada antes que nada sobre la autonom\u00eda, la prevenci\u00f3n social y la educaci\u00f3n m\u00e1s all\u00e1 de las medidas estatales represivas y centralizadoras. Necesitamos m\u00e1s que nunca poner al centro, fuera de la urbanizaci\u00f3n individualista y del industrialismo, la pr\u00e1ctica de \u201cvolver a la Tierra, a la Naturaleza\u201d y al cuidado del Planeta. En Rojava, en una fase hist\u00f3rica de resistencia frente a la guerra, a\u00fan en situaci\u00f3n de pandemia global, se da prioridad a repoblar aldeas rurales, a la reforestaci\u00f3n, al cultivo diversificado y otras actividades de trabajo comunitario y se reflexiona sobre el sentido de las palabras \u201cautodefensa\u201d, \u201csalud\u201d y \u201ccomunidad\u201d. Este ejemplo nos convoca en cualquier lugar del mundo al potenciamiento sistem\u00e1tico y creativo de la solidaridad en el campo del auto-gobierno, de la salud, de la autodefensa y de las redes de econom\u00eda autogestivas.<\/p>\n<p>Como la autonom\u00eda zapatista, la revoluci\u00f3n de Rojava ha creado un parteaguas en el curso hist\u00f3rico, mostrado siempre la posibilidad de una salida alternativa a lo que se pretende imponer desde el dividirnos. Por eso, en esta coyuntura nos resuenan las palabras de las comunidades aut\u00f3nomas en Chiapas que nos invitan a \u201cno perder el contacto humano, sino a cambiar temporalmente las formas para sabernos compa\u00f1eras, compa\u00f1eros, compa\u00f1eroas, hermanas, hermanos, hermanoas.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Actuando dentro de esta contingencia, potenciando nuestras conexiones ante el ataque capitalista y patriarcal de los bombardeos de Turqu\u00eda hacia Rojava, las personas y organizaciones firmantes de este pronunciamiento reiteramos nuestra solidaridad con la lucha de las mujeres kurdas y de los otros pueblos del norte de Siria, porque hoy y siempre \u00a1defender Rojava significa defender la vida, la naturaleza y la humanidad!<\/p>\n<p>\u00a1Viva la Revoluci\u00f3n en Rojava!<br \/>\n\u00a1Viva la resistencia de los pueblos en el mundo!<\/p>\n<p>Contactos:<br \/>\nMail: <a href=\"mailto:kurdistan_mx@riseup.net\">kurdistan_mx@riseup.net<\/a> \/ <a href=\"mailto:kurdistansolidaridadmx@gmail.com\">kurdistansolidaridadmx@gmail.com<\/a><br \/>\nFb: Comit\u00e9 en Solidaridad por Kurdist\u00e1n &#8211; CDMX[:en]\u201cDefending life in Rojava in times of COVID-19\u201d, a call for solidarity from Mexico City by the Solidarity Committee with Kurdistan in the framework of the Global Days for Life \u201cThe Lockdown does not silence us\u201d (#ElEncierroNoNosCalla).<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/forms\/d\/e\/1FAIpQLScU6B0Dt4FXF_D-5t58LRGpHvY4IL5tFAxMhJJlTbUDoGvbew\/viewform\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Sign here<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>[<a href=\"https:\/\/radiozapatista.org\/?p=34530\">Espa\u00f1ol<\/a>] [<a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/forms\/d\/e\/1FAIpQLScU6B0Dt4FXF_D-5t58LRGpHvY4IL5tFAxMhJJlTbUDoGvbew\/viewform\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Fran\u00e7ais<\/a>] [<a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/forms\/d\/e\/1FAIpQLScU6B0Dt4FXF_D-5t58LRGpHvY4IL5tFAxMhJJlTbUDoGvbew\/viewform\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Portugu\u00eas<\/a>]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/747bomOXgLA\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>We want to raise our voices today to talk about the risks of COVID-19 contagion in the North of Syria, a risk brought about by the capitalist, racist and patriarchal system. In solidarity from the continent we live in, we follow the development of the current COVID-19 crisis in the Middle East and Kurdistan, but simultaneously in Mexico, Argentina, Venezuela, Colombia, Honduras, Guatemala, Chile, Bolivia, Ecuador, Brazil, Paraguay, and the whole of Central America, assuming it in terms of how it overlaps with the dynamics of transnational migrations in contexts of war, militarization and spoliation. The effects of the pandemic are unfolding before our eyes at the same time as forced displacement, assassination of community leaders that are engaged in the defence of their territories, and the amount of political prisoners, war refugees as political exiles keeps growing. While in Mexico we defy the isolation imposed by COVID-19\u2019s pandemia we also continue with our organizational efforts and creating networks of solidarity and mutual aid. In front of this situation, we declare the following:<\/p>\n<p><!--more-->&#8211; We denounce that last April 4 Abdullah \u00d6calan, philosopher, anti-capitalist revolutionary, and a critic of so called \u201creal existing socialism\u201d, spent his 71st birthday in the Imrali maximum security prison-island. This day signed also the 21st year of his incarceration after his kidnapping that was carried out without any regard for international law and human rights conventions. Nowadays, more than ever, we recognize the key role he has played -and keeps playing- in the pursuit of a peaceful solution to the Kurdish question and we demand his freedom, as well as that of all political prisoners in Turkey.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; In the context of a war that has left more than 900.000 refugees war and millions of casualties, we denounce the Turkish invasion of Rojava-Kurdistan and the dictatorial role Turkey plays when it comes to controlling migratory flows, which has become evident in the cases of the Syria-Turkey and Greece-Turkey borders. The severe nationalistic escalation of border-closures condemns to death all of those who are trying to escape war, be it because of lack of water, starvation, or the risk of COVID-19 contagion.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; We denounce that, while all the self-defence units confederated in the Syrian Democratic Forces -the YPG (People&#8217;s Protection Units) and YPJ (Women&#8217;s Protection Units) includedare ready to abide the UN call for a ceasefire, Turkey continues their shelling and bombing of the villages of Rojava. As the Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria struggles to establish an International Tribunal to judge over the crimes of the Islamic State (IS), the non-stop attacks carried on by Turkey, with the complicity of the European Union and other international organizations, facilitate the reorganization of IS as a destabilizing force in the Middle East and a hazard for the whole world. In this sense, we urgently demand a ceasefire in Rojava, in the North and East of Syria.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; We condemn the aggravation of the health crisis provoked by Turkey&#8217;s shelling and recurring interruptions of water supply in Rojava. Furthermore we condemn the irresponsability of States and multilateral organizations like the UN and WHO, that prioritize the protection of the dominant economy above life. On the contrary, we appreciate all the autonomous and communitarian dynamics from Mexico to Rojava as examples that show us how the economical organization of society has to be founded on the benefit of the peoples, and must reorientate productive goals to guarantee the availability of materials and goods that are necessary to face the social, ecological, and economical crisis that was already unfolding even before COVID-19 emerged.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Among different regional political identities, we appraise the will to leave in peace promoted especially by AANES. We recognize the communal, ecological, and peaceful selforganization among the diversity of peoples in Northern Syria and the perspective of Democratic Confederalism as an intercultural alternative of social organization that aims to supersede both capitalist modernity and patriarchal mentality. This is an alternative based on direct democracy that puts the defence of our Planet at the forefront by showing great respect for Mother Earth. In that sense, we believe it to be one of the only democratic ways out inside the Middle East conflict context, caused by a global war of power.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; We encourage everyone to consider the experience of the indigenous peoples of both Rojava and Mexico- and South and Central America- as referents that relate with political and social contexts other than the dominant social system. When it comes to thinking about strategies for the implementation of communitarian health, these experiences focus on autonomy, take into account an outlook for the collective prevention of illness, and education beyond the repressive and centralistic role of the Nation-State. More than ever, we need to move away from individualistic urbanization and industrialization, and make a turn \u201cback to Earth, to Nature\u201d, to the care of our Planet.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; In Rojava, at a historical phase of resistance against war, even in the middle of the global pandemic, priority is given to the repopulation of rural villages, reforestation, diversification of crops, and other activities of communal work. In such a context we are in the presence of a constant reflection on the meaning of the words \u201cself-defence\u201d, \u201chealth\u201d, and \u201ccommunity\u201d. Their example is a call for every one around the world for the systematical and creative enhancement of solidarity in the areas of self-governance, communitarian health, self-defence, and networks of self-managed economy.<\/p>\n<p>Like in the Zapatista Autonomy, the Rojava Revolution has been a milestone in the course of history, pointing towards a way out of the divisory status quo that pretends to impose itself as the only social possibility. Because of that, the words of the autonomous communities in Chiapas resonate to us in the current crisis when they extend the invitation \u201cnot lo lose human contact, but rather to temporarily change our forms of relating as compa\u00f1eros, compa\u00f1eras, compa\u00f1eroas, sisters, brothers, and hermanoas\u201d. Within the current situation, with the intention to deepen our bonds in the face of the capitalistic and patriarchal attacks against Rojava by Turkish state, the persons and organizations that sign his pronouncement reaffirm our solidarity with the struggle of Kurdish women, and the peoples in the North of Syria, because today and always defending Rojava means defending life, Nature, and humanity!<\/p>\n<p>Long live to the Rojava Revolution!<br \/>\nLong live to the resistance of peoples around the world!<\/p>\n<p>Contacts :<br \/>\nMail: <a href=\"mailto:kurdistan_mx@riseup.net\">kurdistan_mx@riseup.net<\/a> \/ <a href=\"mailto:kurdistansolidaridadmx@gmail.com\">kurdistansolidaridadmx@gmail.com<\/a><br \/>\nFb: Comit\u00e9 en Solidaridad por Kurdist\u00e1n &#8211; CDMX[:]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[:es]Intelectuales, acad\u00e9micas y acad\u00e9micos, organizaciones sociales y pol\u00edticas firman \u201cDefendamos la vida en Rojava en tiempo de Covid-19\u201d un llamado lanzado desde la Ciudad de M\u00e9xico por el Comit\u00e9 en Solidaridad con Kurdist\u00e1n-CDMX en el marco de la Jornada Global por la Vida \u201cEl Encierro No Me Calla\u201d.
