This was Qamishlo last night, celebrating 13 years since Kurds forced the Assad regime out of Kobane and began the Rojava Revolution. Renowned Kurdish artist Sehribana Kurdi came from Europe to perform.

UK suffragette Sylvia Pankhurst was a trained artist and in 1907 created several watercolours depicting women workers in factories, mills and potteries to highlight working women’s rights, their pay and conditions #WomensArt

As someone whose family survived Saddam’s use of chemical weapons, as someone who remembers the night we were exposed to these weapons we say we will never forget, not the cruelty, not the loss of human lives, not the global apathy nor the ongoing oppression of the Kurds that continues to see them murdered, displaced, imprisoned and erased to this day. #Halabja #halabjagenocide

[Jino Victoria Doabi ‏ژینۆ ویکتوریا دو‌آبی @_jvd9]

Today marks 37 years since the Halabja chemical massacre - one of the most horrific crimes in modern history, where thousands of Kurds were killed in an instant.

On March 16, 1988, Saddam Hussein’s regime launched a brutal chemical attack on the Kurdish city of Halabja, using a mix of mustard (chlorine) gas and nerve agents (sarin). Within minutes, men, women, and children suffocated, burned, or died in agony. The attack was part of the Anfal campaign, a systematic genocide against the Kurds, which led to the deaths of an estimated 180,000 people.

Halabja remains a deep scar on the Kurdish people - an unforgotten wound. But it also stands as a testament to our resilience.

To the enemies of the Kurds, let Halabja be a reminder: You can oppress us, liquidate us, torture us, put the rope around our necks and execute us - but you will always see us rise again, stronger than before.

The picture is of Omar Khawar, who got killed on the pavement clutching the body of Mohammed, one of his twin sons.

The #UK Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero is in #China to discuss energy cooperation and meet Chinese investors.

Any partnership MUST NOT come at the cost of #Tibet’s environment, the rights of its people, or their cultural heritage. https://t.co/XgDm3pot2f

What's striking about capitalist civilization is that it has no real direction. There's no vision for social progress, no commitment to improving human welfare or ecology. All we get is the chaos of profit-oriented production and accumulation as the world burns around us.

[Hawzhin Azeez @hawzhin_azeez]

Terrorist Turkey continues to murder with total disregard to basic human rights or international law. Global silence continues to empower Turkey to continue its massacres.
