Calling on international organizations to bring to account Turkey for its airstrikes on Yazidi people in Shengal, the women of Kobanê said, “Turkey wants to commit 75^th edict.”

Kobanî- A hospital located in the Sikêniyê village of Shengal was targeted by a Turkish airstrike yesterday. After the attack, the people took to the streets to protest the attack and to be in solidarity with the people of Shengal. We spoke to the women of Kobanî about the attacks on Shengal. “The attacks are the continuation of the genocidal attacks. Turkey commits edicts like ISIS. These attacks should be recognized as 75^th edict.”

“Everyone who turns a blind eye is guilty”

“Today, terrorist attacks have been carried out against the people of Kurdistan and the massacres are carried out in front of the whole world,” said 65-year-old Hedle Nebo, who thinks that everyone who turns a blind eye is guilty.  She called on people of all ages to stand against the attacks and said, “If we don’t unite against these attacks, we will have to suffer the consequences. We aren’t afraid of attacks and we respond to the attacks.”

Talking about the genocide against the people of Shengal on August 3, 2014, Hedle Nebo said, “ISIS committed the genocide but not alone. We should see that the KDP played a role in the genocide; it should be brought to account. If the international community doesn’t bring to account those responsible for the attacks, there will be new attacks.”

“Turkey wants to commit 75^th edict”

The ongoing attacks are brutal, Fewza Ebdî said, “The ongoing attacks on Shengal are unacceptable. ISIS and Turkey are the same for us. Turkey wants to commit 75^th edict and it does this in front of the whole world.” Fewza Ebdî called on the Iraqi government and the Federal Kurdistan Region government to take a strong stance against the attacks, “Not taking a strong stance against attacks means supporting the attacks.”
