\nUna mujer kurda llora en el funeral de las v\u00edctimas asesinadas durante el bombardeo y la invasi\u00f3n turca de Ser\u00ea Kaniy\u00ea en 2019. A muchos ahora les preocupa que el proceso se repita en otras partes de Rojava tras el actual bombardeo.<\/small><\/p>\n

El r\u00e9gimen de Erdo\u011fan en Turqu\u00eda ha continuado su reinado de terror en la regi\u00f3n kurda de Rojava, gobernada por la DAANES (Administraci\u00f3n Aut\u00f3noma Democr\u00e1tica del Norte y Este de Siria). La letan\u00eda de cr\u00edmenes de guerra semanales de Ankara durante los \u00faltimos meses incluye bombardeos, ataques a\u00e9reos y ataques con drones incesantes en una amplia gama de sitios civiles. Para comprender el razonamiento detr\u00e1s de su terror a\u00e9reo, s\u00f3lo hay que mirar la historia reciente y los objetivos de pol\u00edtica exterior neo-otomanista de Turqu\u00eda en lo que respecta a las zonas kurdas del norte de Siria.<\/p>\n

Por ejemplo, el ej\u00e9rcito turco ya se ha anexado grandes extensiones de territorios kurdos en la regi\u00f3n, incluida la utilizaci\u00f3n de sus aliados mercenarios yihadistas para ocupar Afrin en 2018 y Ser\u00ea Kaniy\u00ea y Gir\u00ea Spi en 2019. Ambas invasiones limpiaron \u00e9tnicamente las regiones de kurdos en m\u00e1s del 80%, lo que resulta en cerca de un mill\u00f3n de personas desplazadas internamente.<\/p>\n

En octubre de 2023, cuando comenzaron los bombardeos a niveles sin precedentes, los campos de refugiados de desplazados internos tambi\u00e9n fueron atacados, provocando terror e incertidumbre masivos. Pero esto tambi\u00e9n coincide con el manual anterior de Turqu\u00eda, que es sembrar miedo entre los civiles kurdos con la esperanza de que huyan de la regi\u00f3n. Desde octubre, Turqu\u00eda ha iniciado una ronda integral de bombardeos repetidos contra infraestructuras esenciales como estaciones de agua, gas y electricidad . El objetivo es desplazar a los civiles, provocar un \u00e9xodo masivo y crear condiciones que hagan la vida insoportable en la regi\u00f3n.<\/p>\n

En las \u00faltimas 72 horas, varias aldeas y localidades civiles, incluidos graneros y dep\u00f3sitos de alimentos, han sido blanco de ataques a\u00e9reos turcos. Como resultado, periodistas, activistas y civiles de toda la regi\u00f3n compartieron im\u00e1genes horripilantes de civiles heridos, almacenes destruidos y repetidos ataques a lugares no militares, incluida la pol\u00edtica ilegal de doble toque de volver a atacar un sitio que hab\u00eda sido atacado previamente mientras los equipos de emergencia se apresuraban a apagar los incendios y tratar a los heridos.<\/p>\n

En la aldea de Karbatli, en el distrito de Darbasiyah, la casa familiar de un civil llamado Khaled Heso fue bombardeada, lo que provoc\u00f3 que sus hijos Rojan y Jan, as\u00ed como su esposa Ahlam, resultaran heridos. Mientras tanto, el periodista kurdo Hoshang Hassan public\u00f3 im\u00e1genes exclusivas de los bombardeos turcos contra las centrales el\u00e9ctricas de Amuda, demostrando que Turqu\u00eda est\u00e1 m\u00e1s interesada en arrasar las condiciones de vida: alimentos, agua, electricidad y refugio (viviendas).<\/p>\n

El Centro de Informaci\u00f3n de Rojava (RIC) public\u00f3 un v\u00eddeo exclusivo que detalla los bombardeos turcos desde octubre, destacando los repetidos ataques contra civiles y sus tierras, hogares y propiedades con los bombardeos. Durante el per\u00edodo navide\u00f1o, se produjo otra ronda de bombardeos masivos, en los que los ataques a\u00e9reos turcos alcanzaron una serie de infraestructuras civiles, incluidas f\u00e1bricas, centros m\u00e9dicos, almacenes y m\u00e1s. En la cascada m\u00e1s reciente de ataques no provocados, 11 civiles murieron y decenas m\u00e1s resultaron heridos.<\/p>\n

Turqu\u00eda tambi\u00e9n atac\u00f3 espec\u00edficamente instalaciones cruciales de gas y electricidad alrededor de Suwaydia. Esta central el\u00e9ctrica, seg\u00fan el RIC, produce el 47% del suministro el\u00e9ctrico total del cant\u00f3n de Jazira. M\u00e1s a\u00fan, es la \u00fanica estaci\u00f3n que suministra electricidad a las l\u00edneas de emergencia para servicios m\u00e9dicos esenciales y la \u00fanica planta embotelladora de gas para uso dom\u00e9stico de la zona. Haciendo gala de la naturaleza siniestra de los ataques, Turqu\u00eda quiere que la poblaci\u00f3n kurda pase sed, hambre, fr\u00edo y oscuridad, pero sin combustible para huir. Adem\u00e1s, tras los ataques de los drones turcos, ambulancias y hospitales carecen de combustible para tratar a los heridos.<\/p>\n

Farhad Shami, representante de medios de las SDF, emiti\u00f3 un comunicado de prensa en nombre del Comando General de las SDF, en el que afirm\u00f3 que: \u201cDurante los \u00faltimos dos d\u00edas, la ocupaci\u00f3n turca ha atacado, utilizando aviones de combate y veh\u00edculos a\u00e9reos no tripulados, instalaciones clave de energ\u00eda y electricidad. as\u00ed como almacenes y silos de cereales y dotaciones de extinci\u00f3n de incendios. Estas agresiones se han extendido a los hogares de los civiles, sus granjas y las fuentes de su sustento diario, impactando las principales carreteras y las afueras de las ciudades y causando una gran destrucci\u00f3n. En consecuencia, estos ataques han interrumpido la prestaci\u00f3n de servicios esenciales, incluidos energ\u00eda, electricidad, agua y otras necesidades, afectando a cientos de miles de personas\u201d.<\/p>\n

Shami continu\u00f3 afirmando que:<\/p>\n

\u00abEstos ataques directos y b\u00e1rbaras agresiones terroristas demuestran clara y expl\u00edcitamente la hostilidad del Estado de ocupaci\u00f3n turco hacia todas las formas de vida en la regi\u00f3n; constituyen cr\u00edmenes de guerra flagrantes y deliberados destinados a infundir miedo e infligir sufrimiento en su existencia diaria\u00bb.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Asimismo, el representante de medios de comunicaci\u00f3n de las YPG, Siyamend Ali, public\u00f3 una serie de v\u00eddeos en su p\u00e1gina web, que inclu\u00edan im\u00e1genes de aviones de combate turcos bombardeando a periodistas y equipos de medios de comunicaci\u00f3n en la ciudad de Koban\u00ea, as\u00ed como grabaciones de drones turcos apuntando a la factor\u00eda francesa Lafarge, empresa cementera en el distrito de Chelabiya, al este de Koban\u00ea. El v\u00eddeo muestra un segundo golpe de \u201cdoble toque\u201d mientras los equipos de bomberos intentan apagar los incendios, una t\u00e1ctica com\u00fan de Turqu\u00eda en este momento, que va en contra del derecho internacional.<\/p>\n

Mientras tanto, otro periodista local, Jamal Bali, afirmaba que despu\u00e9s de un d\u00eda completo de bombardeos por parte del Estado turco contra instalaciones de servicios en toda la regi\u00f3n, \u201cla mayor\u00eda de los residentes de la regi\u00f3n se encuentran ahora sin agua ni electricidad\u201d durante un invierno duro y fr\u00edo.<\/p>\n

Por su parte, el Movimiento de Mujeres Kongra Star public\u00f3 un informe que destaca los bombardeos de las \u00faltimas 48 horas en el distrito de Amuda. S\u00f3lo en Koban\u00ea, almacenes de trigo, huertos, equipos de bomberos, estaciones de transferencia de electricidad y establos de ganado han sido objeto de ataques continuos. Mientras tanto, cinco estaciones de servicio el\u00e9ctrico tambi\u00e9n fueron bombardeadas nuevamente en los alrededores de Koban\u00ea.<\/p>\n

Los defensores de los derechos humanos tambi\u00e9n han opinado sobre los bombardeos turcos en curso. Nadine Maenza, defensora estadounidense de la libertad religiosa internacional y ex presidenta de la USCIRF, ha cuestionado por qu\u00e9 el gobierno estadounidense permite que Turqu\u00eda siga cometiendo cr\u00edmenes de guerra contra los kurdos, cuando tales ataques benefician a Ir\u00e1n, Assad e ISIS, lo que va, seg\u00fan dice, en contra de los objetivos estadounidenses de paz y estabilidad en la regi\u00f3n. Maenza conden\u00f3 el ataque turco a Rojava y su ataque expl\u00edcito a la infraestructura civil y pidi\u00f3 a la comunidad internacional que se mantenga firme contra los actuales cr\u00edmenes de guerra turcos contra los kurdos.<\/p>\n

Adem\u00e1s, acad\u00e9micos como Gerald Walker, experto en diplomacia global y relaciones internacionales, han argumentado que los \u201cataques de Turqu\u00eda parecen ser parte de una estrategia para desplazar a la poblaci\u00f3n local, promoviendo una pol\u00edtica de turquificaci\u00f3n y extendiendo el control turco sobre este territorio sirio. Sin embargo, como se\u00f1ala Walker, si bien Turqu\u00eda est\u00e1 intentando ganar m\u00e1s territorio sirio, estos territorios son \u00e1reas del pa\u00eds espec\u00edficamente dominadas por los kurdos. La pol\u00edtica de Turqu\u00eda en Siria est\u00e1 impulsada \u00fanicamente por sus aspiraciones exterminadoras hacia los kurdos. Esto a pesar de que el PYD y las SDF no han disparado ni una sola bala ni cohete hacia la frontera turca. M\u00e1s bien parece que las repetidas p\u00e9rdidas militares que los yihadistas aliados de Turqu\u00eda en Siria sufrieron a manos de los kurdos contin\u00faan impulsando las pol\u00edticas antikurdas resentidas y vengativas de Ankara en las regiones kurdas del norte de Siria e Irak (Kurdist\u00e1n occidental y meridional, respectivamente).<\/p>\n

Otros activistas pidieron la implementaci\u00f3n urgente de una zona de exclusi\u00f3n a\u00e9rea en la regi\u00f3n o que la coalici\u00f3n liderada por Estados Unidos proporcione a los kurdos sistemas de defensa a\u00e9rea y la tecnolog\u00eda necesaria para protegerse contra los incesantes bombardeos turcos.<\/p>\n

A la luz de la ausencia total de protestas internacionales por la violencia desenfrenada y constante de Turqu\u00eda hacia Rojava, parece poco probable que tales cr\u00edmenes de guerra cesen en el corto plazo. Mientras el mundo se tambalea por la guerra en Gaza y el caso de la CIJ de Sud\u00e1frica se reproduce en las pantallas de televisi\u00f3n, los mismos medios internacionales indignados por los bombardeos de Israel a los palestinos, permanecen en silencio y ap\u00e1ticos mientras Turqu\u00eda bombardea a los kurdos e intenta arrasar Rojava hasta los cimientos.<\/p>\n

\nA Kurdish woman mourns at the funeral of victims killed during the Turkish bombing and invasion of Ser\u00ea Kaniy\u00ea in 2019. Many now worry the process will be repeated elsewhere in Rojava following the current bombardment.<\/small><\/p>\n

Erdo\u011fan\u2019s regime in Turkey has continued its reign of terror on the Kurdish region of Rojava, which is governed by the DAANES (Democratic Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria). Ankara\u2019s litany of weekly war crimes for the past several months involves ceaseless bombardments, airstrikes, and drone attacks across a wide range of civilian sites. To understand the reasoning behind their aerial terror, one only needs to look at the recent history and neo-Ottomanist foreign policy objectives of Turkey when it comes to the Kurdish areas of northern Syria.<\/p>\n

For instance, the Turkish military has already annexed large swaths of the Kurdish territories in the region, including utilizing their jihadist mercenary allies to occupy Afrin in 2018 and Ser\u00ea Kaniy\u00ea and Gir\u00ea Spi in 2019. Both invasions ethnically cleansed the regions of Kurds by more than 80% resulting in close to a million people being internally displaced.<\/p>\n

Back in October 2023, when the bombardments commenced at unprecedented levels, refugee camps of internally displaced people were also attacked, causing mass terror and uncertainty. But this also coincides with Turkey\u2019s previous playbook, where they sow fear amongst Kurdish civilians in the hope that they will flee the region. Since October, Turkey has commenced a comprehensive round of repeated bombardments targeting essential infrastructure such as water, gas, and electricity stations. The objective is to displace civilians, cause a mass exodus, and create conditions that make life unbearable in the region.<\/p>\n

In the past 72 hours, a number of villages and civilian locations, including barns and food depots, have been targeted by Turkish airstrikes. As a result, journalists, activists, and civilians across the region shared horrifying images of injured civilians, destroyed warehouses, and repeated attacks on non-military locations, including the illegal double-tap policy of re-striking a site that had been previously attacked as emergency crews scrambled to put out the fires and treat any wounded.<\/p>\n

In the village of Karbatli, in the Darbasiyah district, the family home of a civilian named Khaled Heso was bombed, resulting in his children Rojan and Jan, along with his wife Ahlam being injured. Meanwhile, the Kurdish journalist Hoshang Hassan released exclusive footage of the Turkish bombardments against electric stations in Amuda. Showing that Turkey is most interested in striking the necessities of life: food, water, electricity, and shelter (homes).<\/p>\n

The Rojava Information Center (RIC) released an exclusive video detailing the Turkish bombardments since October, highlighting the repeat targeting of civilians and their land, homes, and properties during the bombardments. During the Christmas period, another round of massive bombardments occurred, in which Turkish airstrikes hit a number of civilian infrastructures, including factories, medical centers, industrial warehouses, and more. In the most recent cascade of unprovoked strikes, 11 civilians were killed, with dozens more injured.<\/p>\n

Turkey also specifically targeted crucial gas and electrical facilities around Suwaydiyah. This electrical station, according to the RIC produces 47% of the Jazire canton\u2019s total electrical supply. More importantly, it is the only station providing electricity to emergency lines for essential medical services and the area\u2019s only local gas bottling plant. Displaying the sinister nature of the strikes, Turkey wants the Kurdish population thirsty, hungry, cold, and in the dark, but without fuel to flee. Then, following the Turkish drone strikes, the ambulances and hospitals lack fuel to treat any of the wounded.<\/p>\n

Farhad Shami, the media representative of the SDF released a press statement on behalf of the SDF General Command, in which he stated that: \u201cOver the past two days, the Turkish occupation has targeted, using warplanes and UAV\u2019s key energy and electricity facilities, as well as grain storage warehouses and silos and firefighting crews. These aggressions have extended to the homes of civilians, their farms, and the sources of their daily sustenance, impacting major roads and city outskirts and causing extensive destruction. Consequently, these attacks have disrupted the delivery of essential services, including power, electricity, water, and other necessities, affecting hundreds of thousands of people.\u201d<\/p>\n

Shami went on to state that:<\/p>\n

\u201cThese direct attacks and barbaric terrorist aggression clearly and explicitly prove the hostility of the Turkish occupation state to all forms of life in the region, they constitute blatant and deliberate war crimes aimed at instilling fear, and inflicting suffering on their daily existence.\u201d<\/p>\n

Likewise, the media representative for the YPG, Siyamend Ali published a number of videos on his media page, which included images of the Turkish warplanes bombing journalists and media crews in the city of Koban\u00ea, as well as recordings of Turkish drones targeting the French Lafarge Cement Company in the Chelabiya district east of Koban\u00ea. The video shows a second \u201cdouble tap\u201d strike as firefighting crews attempt to douse the fires\u2014a common tactic of Turkey at this point, which is against international law.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, another local journalist, Jamal Bali, stated that after a full day of bombardments by the Turkish state on service facilities across the region, \u201cmost of the region\u2019s residents are now without water and electricity\u201d during a harsh and cold winter.<\/p>\n

For their part, the Kongra Star Women\u2019s Movement released a report that highlighted the bombardments over the last 48 hours across the Amuda district. In Koban\u00ea alone, wheat warehouses, orchards, fire crews, electricity transfer stations, and livestock barns have been targeted by ongoing strikes. Meanwhile, five electrical service stations were also bombed again around Koban\u00ea.<\/p>\n

Human rights advocates have weighed in on the ongoing Turkish bombardments as well. Nadine Maenza, an American advocate for international religious freedom and a former chair at USCIRF, has questioned why the US government allows Turkey to continue to engage in war crimes against the Kurds, when such attacks benefit Iran, Assad, and ISIS while, according to her, running counter to US goals for peace and stability in the region. Maenza went on to condemn the Turkish assault on Rojava and its explicit targeting of civilian infrastructure and she has called for the international community to stand firm against ongoing Turkish war crimes against the Kurds.<\/p>\n

Additionally, scholars such as Gerald Walker, an expert in global diplomacy and international relations, have argued that Turkey\u2019s \u201cattacks seem to be part of a strategy to displace the local population, furthering a policy of Turkification and extending Turkish control over this Syrian territory.\u201d However, as Walker points out, while Turkey is attempting to gain further Syrian territory, these territories are explicitly Kurdish-dominated areas of the country. Turkey\u2019s Syria policy is driven solely by its exterminationst aspirations towards the Kurds. This is despite the fact that the PYD and the SDF have not fired a single bullet or rocket towards the Turkish border. Rather it seems the repeated military losses that Turkey\u2019s allied jihadists in Syria suffered at the hands of the Kurds continue to prompt Ankara\u2019s resentful and vengeful anti-Kurdish policies across the Kurdish regions in northern Syria and Iraq (Western and Southern Kurdistan, respectively).<\/p>\n

Other activists called for the urgent implementation of a No-Fly Zone in the region or for the US-led coalition to provide the Kurds with air defense systems and the necessary technology to protect themselves against the ceaseless Turkish bombardments.<\/p>\n

In light of the total absence of international outcry about Turkey\u2019s unhindered and unrestrained violence towards Rojava, it appears unlikely that such war crimes will cease anytime soon. As the world reels from the war in Gaza and South Africa\u2019s ICJ case is played out across TV screens, the same international media outraged by Israel\u2019s bombing of Palestinians, remains silent and apathetic as Turkey bombs Kurds and attempts to raze Rojava to the ground.
