The word ‘Kurdistan’ caused so many questions from different comrades and friends and from many places and organisations. We were asked why ‘Kurdistan’ ? We, therefore, wrote some clarification in the form of ‘FAQ about KAF’ to explain and clarify our position that when we say ‘Kurdistan’ nothing to do with “nationalism” or “Patriotic”.

September 17th sees the next major national march against the 'we can't believe they are not dead already' water charges. We respect that many anarchists will be marching with their local groups but for those who are not we thought it would be good to have an anarchist bloc and march together, everyone can then meet up at the end. ---- The traditional starting points have been Connolly and Heuston train stations but because of the Apple tax scandal the organisers have added a thrid starting point for this one, the big glass building at 70 Sir John Rogerson's Quay.

Coyote Acabo , an anti-racist activist from Olympia, WA has a rough road ahead of him and could really use some support.

After three years of negotiations, a peace accord was signed in Havana, Cuba, between the government of Juan Manuel Santos and the FARC-EP, while the process with ELN is bogged down and that with the EPL is not even on the political agenda. The forecasts that had feared the possibility of a breakdown in the negotiations have been proved groundless, and it completes the cycle of a struggle that should necessarily open new scenarios and possibilities. The decision of this insurgent movement to abandon arms seems irreversible and, whatever happens, it will keep on the path of what has been called its "reincorporation into civilian life". Even while this accord does not generate structural changes, it undoubtedly represents a significant advance for the rural population which, though invisibilised, is a not-insignificant 34% of the country's population and provides ...
