The International League of Peoples’ Struggle (ILPS) regional committee in Europe strongly condemned the intensifying attacks against the people of Rojava that began in the last weeks of January. ILPS described the ongoing offensive as “a severe and escalating campaign of violence, displacement, and collective punishment” that shows utter disregard for civilian life and basic human dignity. It warned of a looming large-scale massacre of the Kurdish people.

The ILPS Europe statement emphasized that the Rojava attacks in January serve the political and military objectives of the powerful states in the region and their imperialist master. The group linked the offensive to the broader US–Zionist–Turkish strategy aimed at dominating West Asia.

ILPS Europe sharply denounced European governments for colluding with the offensive through their funding and support for the regime and the armed groups involved in the attacks and massacres against the Kurdish people.
