Rojavadevrimi+Full+75Dpi.Pdf Kitaba ilişkin bilinmesi gerekenler Elinizdeki kitabın orijinali 2014 ve 2015 yıllarında Almanca dilinde üç yazar tarafından yazıldı ve Rosa Lüksemburg Vakfı’nın desteğiyle “VSA Verlag” adlı yayınevi tarafından Almanya’da yayınlandı. 2018 yılında Almanca dilinde 4. baskısı güncellenip basılarak önemli ilgi gören bu kitap, 2016 Ekim ayında “Pluto Press” adlı yayınevi tarafından İngilizce dilinde Birleşik Krallık ‘ta yayınlandı. Bu kitabın İngilizce çevirisi ABD’de yaşayan yazar ve aktivist Janet Biehl tarafından yapıldı ve sonrasında üç yazar tarafından 2016 ilkbaharında güncellendi. En başından beri kitabın Türkçe dilinde de basılıp yayınlanası için bir planlama yapıldı. Bu amaçla bir grup gönüllü İngilizce versiyonu temel alarak Türkçe çevirisini yaptı. Türkiye’deki siyasal gelişme ve zorluklardan dolayı gecikmeler ortaya çıkınca yazarlar kitabın basılmasını 2016 yılından daha ileri bir tarihe alma kararını aldı. Bu sırada tekrar Rojava’ya giden yazarlar, elde ettikleri bilgilerle Türkçe çeviriyi doğrudan Türkçe dilinde 2017 ve 2018 yıllarında güncelleyip genişletti. Bu gelişmelere redaksiyon çalışmaları da eklenince kitabın Türkçe dilinde yayınlanması 2018 yılında olması gerekirken 2019 yılına sarktı. 2016 yılından beri kitap ayrıca Farsça, Rusça, Yunanca, İtalyanca, İsveççe, Polonca, Slovence, İspanyolca dillerine çevrilip yayınlandı. Arapça ve Kürtçe çeviriler devam etmektedir. Kitap Ağustos 2019’da yayınlandı. Ancak kitapta en son Eylül 2018’de içeriksel güncellenmeler yapıldı. 2018 yazın durum ve atmosferine göre yazıldı. Kitapta kullanılan resimlerde eğer kaynak belirtilmemişse, resimler yazarlara aittir. Aksi durumda her resmin altında resimlerin sahibi belirtilmektedir. Kapaktaki resim Rojava’da kurulmuş kadın köyü Jinwar’ı göstermekte ve Özgür Rojava Kadın Vakfı’na (WJAR) aittir. Bu kitap herhangi bir yayınevi tarafından yayınlanmamaktadır. Herkes bu kitaba erişimde serbesttir. Kitabı elektronik ve basılı olarak istediğiniz gibi yayabilirsiniz, ancak bu kitaptan gelir ve para elde etmek yazarlar tarafından izin verilmemektedir. 1 --- İçindekiler --- Önsöz - Asya Abdullah: Demokratik Özerklik Sisteminin Felsefesi 0.

Tüm bu farklılıklara rağmen aynı bahçenin çiçekleri gibi hepimiz aynı ahlaki ve insani değerleri paylaşırız. Yeryüzündeki topluluk halinde yaşayan her canlı aynı ahlaki değerleri paylaşır. Sevgi, sadakat, aile, adalet ve güven, tüm toplulukların ortak değerleriidir. İhanet, zülüm ve sömürgecilik ise her toplum tarafından reddedilir. Tarih öncesinden günümüze değin, monarklar, despotlar ve tiranlar, insanları kendi çıkarları için şekillendirmeye ve ekolojik toplumu öldürmeye çalışıyorlarlar. Hak ve adalet adı altında toplumu ve doğayı boğmaya ve tahrip etmeye uğraşıyorlarlar. Her yeni kanun, yönetilenler tarafından bir lanet olarak değerlendirilirken, politika da “kandırma sanatı” haline geldi. Oysa gerçek adaleti tesis etmek, bireyler, toplum ve doğa arasındaki ilişkileri parçalamak yerine zenginleştirmek demektir. Yöneten, yönetilenler üzerinde egemenliğini kurup meşrulaştırmak için yönetilenleri zayıf kılıp onları sınıflara, gruplara bölüp birbirine yabancılaştırırdı ve onları kendi aralarında savaştırırlar. Bireycilik, kimsenin kimseye güvenmediği bir bencilliğe dönüştü. Muktedirler, halklar arasındaki güvensizliği, rekabeti, adaletsizliği derinleştirirken, halklar da temel haklarını despotlardan kopartmak için defalarca ayaklandılar ve mücadele ettiler. Ve sendikalar ya da küçük yerel dernekler gibi örgütler kurup haklarına erişme umuduyla yüzlerce şehit verdiler.irken, temel haklarını despotlardan kopartmak için defalarca ayaklandılar ve mücadele ettiler. Topluma ve doğaya yayılan bir sistem olarak devletin inşa süreci, egemenlerin kendi sömürücü hedeflerine ulaşmalarının aracı haline geldi. Devletin topluma yönelik baskıcı müdahaleleri kalıcı bir nitelik kazandı ve insanla doğa arasındaki ilişki giderek koptu. Böylece insanlar hem kendilerine hem de doğaya hiç olmadığı kadar yabancılaştılar. Devlet toplumu küçük birimlere ayırır ve devletli zihniyeti, insanlığı toplumsal, politik ve ekonomik bir krize sokar. Tepeden tabana yayılarak genişleyen derin bir krizdir bu. Kapitalist sistem kendini tartışılmaz görür, ama kapitalist sistem içerisinde yaşayan canlılar artık buna inanmıyor. Kapitalizm, doğal afetler, salgın hastalıklar, yoksulluk, fakir-zengin arasındaki derin uçurum, ruhsal sorunlar, kapitalist sömürü ve savaşlar gibi, hepsi de insanların yaşamına hükmeden sonuçlar yaratmıştır. Bilim ve teknolojide muazzam bir ilerleme kaydedilmiş olmasına rağmen, insanı kaostan ve yıkımdan kurtarmanın yolu henüz bulunamamıştır. Sistemin değişimi reddetmesi, bizi belirsiz bir geleceğe sürüklüyor. Tam da bu süreçte ayakta kalabilmek için alternatif modeller geliştirmeliyiz, bahsi bile geçmeyen toplumsal ekolojik felaketlerden bizi kurtaracak bir yol bulmalıyız. Çoğu yazar, filozof, akademisyen ve kuramcı, insanların kendi yaşamları üzerinde denetim sağlayabileceği, cinsiyetler arasındaki eşitsizliğin ortadan kaldırıldığı, etnik ve dini savaşların

It was really an interesting statement to me; it made me think of two things, the first one is the intention behind this statement, while the second was the attitude of Kurds, especially Kurd musicians, towards researchers and researching. As for the first thing, I felt that there was a problem, maybe a social or psychological, of the Kurdish people in general, and the musicians in particular.

They draw on a rapid desk-based review of published literature and consultation with subject specialists.

Overview All parties involved in the Syrian conflict have carried out extensive violations of international humanitarian law and human rights. In particular, all parties are guilty of targeting civilians. Rape and sexual violence have been widely used as a weapon of war, notably by the government, ISIL1 and extremist groups. The Syrian government and its Russian allies have used indiscriminate weapons, notably barrel bombs and cluster munitions, against civilians, and have deliberately targeted medical facilities and schools, as well as humanitarian personnel and humanitarian objects.

Danti, Marina Gabriel, Susan Penacho, William Raynolds, Allison Cuneo, Kyra Kaercher, Darren Ashby, Gwendolyn Kristy, Jamie O’Connell, Nour Halabi Table of Contents: Executive Summary 2 Key Points 5 Syria 6 Iraq 7 Libya 8 1 This report is based on research conducted by the “Cultural Preservation Initiative: Planning for Safeguarding Heritage Sites in Syria and Iraq.” Weekly reports reflect reporting from a variety of sources and may contain unverified material. As such, they should be treated as preliminary and subject to change. 1 Executive Summary High levels of military activity were reported in Syria in November. SARG and pro-regime allies, backed by aerial bombardment, fought for control of ISIS-held al-Bukamal (Abu Kamal). Elements of Lebanese Hezbollah, the Iraqi Shia Popular Mobilization Front (PMF), and the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) participated in the military operations.2 This region of the Euphrates Valley contains significant ancient and modern cultural assets. Since the outbreak of the Syrian conflict, and especially since ISIS seized contriol of the area in 2014, cultural sites have been subjected to intense damage, deliberate destructions, and looting/thefts. The military operations did not result in significant increases in new data on the state of these cultural assets, and it is doubtful that a return to a loose system of regime control will significantly improve conditions in this remote, predominantly Sunni tribal region. Aerial bombardment increased over areas purportedly covered under the so-called Astana de- escalation agreements, bolstering “skepticism from opponents of the Syrian government.”3 During the reporting period aerial bombardment increased in opposition-held areas of Eastern Ghouta, Rif Dimashq Governorate, and in areas of Aleppo Governorate.
