    I attended the ceremony in which the #PKK burnt weapons. During the ceremony, pictures were forbidden but afterwards I interviewed four guerrillas in de group, incl co-leader Besê Hozat. Plus, pics with burned arms (1 M249, 1 sniper rifle, 1 RPG, 27 Kalasjnikovs).

    #Turkey killed two #Kurdish #journalists in #Syria in a drone strike: Nazım Daştan (r) and Cihan Bilgin. They were returning from reporting on clashes between #SDF and #SNA around Tishreen Dam, from where SNA/Turkey tries to reach Kobani. Rest in power, colleagues!

    In Kyiv-Ukraine to express solidarity with the Ukranian people and leadership against Russia's war of aggression and occupation. If the dictators stand by each other, the democrats should stand by each other too. It's dangerous but noble.

    The Turkish armed forces wish the Turkish football team success. You were wondering what the Grey Wolves are all about? This is it. It's not just a hand sign that comes and goes in popularity, the Turkish state is build on that ideology. It's called: fascism.

    Leaving Damascus on the way to Beirut, after two weeks of travelling in Syria and Rojava. It was amazing. Let me share two pictures, one of April 2017 and one of last week. I will be back!
