about

This song is dedicated to Anna Campbell (1991–2018). She was a British feminist, anarchist and activist from Lewes (UK) who fought with the Kurdish Women’s Protection Units (YPJ) in Syria. She was the first British woman to die fighting for the Kurdish forces in Rojava. She died under the Turkey’s bombs in March 2018 after Erdogan ordered to attack Afrin despite it was still full of civilians. The result was 200.000 displaced people, and 300 dead.

Rojava consists of three autonomous regions (Afrin, Jazira and Kobane), on the border of Turkey and Syria.

Rojava is an active, historically unique socio-political experiment. It is a stateless direct democracy consisting of bottom-up self-governing structures. It is a feat of cooporative anarchism. It is a true alternative to the embraced nation state systems that do nothing but dominate and fail, mindlessly looping through history.

Rojava defends itself with DIY weaponry and anything they can get off the black market or scavenge from ISIS. It has diverse voluntary forces that consist of groups like the YPG (The People’s Protection Units), YPJ (Woman’s Protection Unit) & PKK (People’s Defense Force).

From September 2014 to January 2015 Kobane was under siege by Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant. Most of the city was destroyed but the YPG and YPJ militia held out and the city was liberated.

FUCK DEASH, FUCK FUNDAMENTALISM AND PATRIARCHY - SUPPORT ROJAVA

lyrics

Ho gli occhi al cielo che piangono bombe
un cuore crollato tra martiri e tombe

Rojava insegna, Rojava insegna la dignità
Rojava insegna, come a Kobane No Pasaran!

Su terra antica che aiuta ad alzarmi
nascono fiori accanto alle armi

Rojava insegna, Rojava insegna la dignità
Rojava insegna, come a Kobane No Pasaran!

E quando intorno si alzano
muri d’odio, troverò
resistenza, solidarietà
e una scritta trionferà:
The only way to stop the hate
is with love and YPG
The only way to stop the hate
is with love and YPJ

Rojava insegna, Rojava insegna la libertà
Rojava insegna, come a Kobane No Pasaran!

-----------------------------------

"Like in Kobane"

I have pointed on the sky my eyes crying bombs
A collapsed heart among martyrs and tombs

Rojava teaching, Rojava teaching dignity
Rojava teaching, like in Kobane No Pasaran!

On ancient ground helping me to stand up
flowers are growing next to the weapons

Rojava teaching, Rojava teaching dignity
Rojava teaching, like in Kobane No Pasaran!

And when around rise
walls of hate, I’ll find
resistance, solidarity,
and a writing will prevail:
The only way to stop the hate
is with love and YPG
The only way to stop the hate
is with love and YPJ

Rojava teaching, Rojava teaching dignity
Rojava teaching, like in Kobane No Pasaran!
