A very big day for Turkey 🇹🇷. Jailed PKK leader Ocalan publish a statement today which sets forward a new path to peace between the PKK and the Turkish state.

FULL STATEMENT: PKK leader Abdullah Öcalan calls for the end of the PKK -

The PKK was born in the 20th century, in the most violent epoch of the history of humanity, amidst the two World wars, under the shadow of the experience of real socialism and the cold war around the World.

The outright denial of Kurdish reality, restrictions on basic rights and freedoms - especially freedom of expression - played a significant role in its emergence and development.

The PKK has been under the heavy realities of the century and the system of real socialism in terms of its adopted theory, program, strategy and tactics. In the 1990s, with the collapse of real socialism due to internal dynamics, the dissolution of the denial of Kurdish identity in the country, and improvements in freedom of expression, led to weakening of the PKK´s foundational meaningfulness and resulted in excessive repetition.

Throughout the history of more than 1000 years, Turkish and Kurdish relations were defined in terms of mutual cooperation and alliance, and Turks and Kurds have found it essential to remain in this voluntary alliance to maintain their existence and survive against hegemonic Powers.

The last 200 years of capitalist modernity have been marked by primarily with the aim to break this alliance. The forces involved, in line with their class-based interests, have played a key role in furthering this objective. With monist interpretations of the Republic, this process has accelerated. Today, the main task is to restructure the historical relationship, which has become extremely fragile, without excluding consideration for beliefs with the spirit of fraternity.

The need for a democratic society is inevitable. The PKK, the longest and most extensive insurgency and armed movement in the history of the Republic, found social base and support, and was primarily inspired by the fact that the channels of democratic politics were closed.

The inevitable outcome of the extreme nationalist deviations - such as a separate nation-state, federation, administrative autonomy, or culturalist solutions - fails to answer the historical sociology of the society.

Respect for identities, free self-expression, democratic self-organization of each segment of society based on their own socio-economic and political structures, are only possible through the existence of a democratic society and political space.

The second century of the Republic can achieve and assure permanent and fraternal continuity only if it is crowned with democracy. There is no alternative to democracy in the pursuit and realization of a political system. Democratic consensus is the fundamental way.

The language of the epoch of peace and democratic society needs to be developed in accordance with this reality.

The call made by Mr. Devlet Bahceli, along with the will expressed by Mr. President, and the positive responses from the other political parties towards the known call, has created an environment in which I am making a call for the laying down of arms, and I take on the historical responsibility of this call.

As in the case with any modern community and party whose existence has not been abolished by force, would voluntarily do, convene your congress and make a decision; all groups must lay their arms and the PKK must dissolve itself.

I convey my greetings to all those who believe in co-existence and who look forward to my call.

PKK's Syria Wing's leader Salih Muslim also says that they will act accordingly with PKK's decision and will lay down their arms if necessary.

I also advocate for peace in the Middle East and it seems we are present here. By the way, the video I shared is a trailer for a video that hasn't been released yet. I hope PKK uploads that video before it gets dissolved.

Here is the full video :

The flank operation in Leramone by the "Jaysh al-Muhadzhirin val'-Ansar" military unit, as well as the "Jabhat Nusra" (Buhari Jamaat, Sejfullah) division and other groups began on the night of May 8-9.

After the firefight, the assault groups went into the attack. The attack lasted until May 12. During the assault, the military took over more than 20 large objects in Az-Zahra.

A video report from the attack showed moments of the assault on May 11. After the emergence of a large number of objects, the mudzhahidi put out a new line of ribata and prepared for further progress.

Interesting use of American and Chinese Weapons..

Not sure why the video quality is ass considering they formed ... 6 days ago but anyways :

A newly formed organization in Pakistan, dubbed Harakat-e-Inqilab-e-Islami: Pakistan, has proclaimed its intent to wage jihad. Spearheaded by Amir Ghazi Shahabuddin, this group has emerged with a contingent of heavily armed fighters, stirring concerns about its potential impact on the region's stability.

The organization's roots may trace back to the era of resistance against Soviet forces in Afghanistan. During that conflict, a notable figure named Mullah Omar held the position of deputy commander across several regions—Kandahar, Zabul, Herat, and Farah—within the ranks of Harakat-Inqilab-I-Islami (Islamic Revolution Movement). To the uninitiated– Mullah Muhammad Omar was an Afghan militant leader who founded the Taliban in 1994. This earlier group operated under the leadership of Nabi Mohammadi, and the similarity in naming conventions has fueled speculation that Harakat-e-Inqilab-e-Islami:: Pakistan could be a modern offshoot or successor to that historical faction. Well, thats a possibility, some speculate.

Adding to the unease of Pakistani security forces is that, there are whispers that this new entity might be connected to al-Qaeda. Though these assertions remain unverified, the possibility of such an alliance amplifies the perceived threat posed by the group, given al-Qaeda's established history of militancy.

The announcement of jihad by Harakat-e-Inqilab-e-Islami:: Pakistan marks a significant development for Pakistan, a nation already navigating complex security challenges. As reported earlier today that there have been 57 attacks in 48 hours inside Pakistan. The presence of a well-armed faction with potential ties to both historical and contemporary extremist movements suggests a heightened risk of unrest in Afg-Pak region.

These are some of the expected people within the IIF :
