For the 28. August 2020 we are planning - the "Rheinmetall Disarming" alliance - a central blockade in Kassel, a hotspot of the German war industry. Despite our cancellation of the camp in August due to Covid 19 infection risk, we will continue to take to the streets, as long as the death business and global wars continue.
That's how the Turkish military has acted since 15. Kurdish areas in Iraq again in June. The Mexmûr refugee camp is the target of massive bombings, in which itself 12.000 stop politically persecuted refugees and that is actually under the protection of the UNHCR, Şengal, a region characterized by the Yezidis, in which people are now suffering again from retraumatising attacks after the IS terror, and the Qendîl Mountains, an important region for the freedom movement of Kurdistan. On the side of Turkey, the Iranian regime is participating in the war of aggression against the Kurds and Ezidis with reconnaissance drones, Bombings and military offensive.
The warmongers do not shy away from it, even bombing medical infrastructure such as the Serdeşt Hospital in Şengal or targeting villages and civilians. The goal is too important for the fascist Turkish state and its ally, to fight emancipatory movements like the PKK, which is a vision away from the nation state, Develop and live patriarchy and capitalism. Killing people, The mass displacement and the fear triggered by the ongoing war of aggression in the Kurdish and Ezid populations is a common tactic of the Erdogan regime, that wants to expand its sphere of influence.
These inhumane methods are made possible by delivering weapons and other war equipment to NATO partner Turkey. German corporations and the federal government are murdering in Kurdistan! Dirty deals, like that between the EU and Turkey, and economic and military cooperation make Turkish fascism possible. 2019 became German war equipment worth 344,6 Millions of euros sold to Turkey. And when restrictions on arms trade with Turkey are finally introduced in the FRG, German war companies like Rheinmetall still find ways and means to make more money.
The media recently reported a secret detour from a Turkish cargo ship to a port in war-torn Libya. As workers on the ship report, military vehicles from Mercedes and MAN were loaded, among other things.
It became known in May, that Rheinmetall is using its joint venture with the South African state-owned company Denel Munitions, to continue delivering to Turkey. The Turkish state sent planes to South Africa under the guise of humanitarian aid during the corona pandemic. There they were loaded with for the wars in Syria, Libya and Kurdistan needed ammunition. The South African government made quick changes to the law on export bans, to continue to be involved in the death business. Rheinmetall Waffen Munition GmbH, based in Germany, holds 51% shares in the joint venture. Thus, the bloody profits of exports from South Africa also end up in the FRG.
To fight this filthy business of death, which is now showing its ugly consequences in Kurdistan, among others, to proceed, we call for a central blockade 28.8.2020 in Kassel! Kassel is a center of German war production. Rheinmetall produce here, Krauss-Maffei Wegmann and various suppliers of armored vehicles for wars all over the world. With a variety of actions and blockades, we will disrupt the armaments production and a determined signal against war, To expel and misery. Join us!
Limitless solidarity against war & Militarization!
Disarm Rheinmetall.
