Seasonal farm workers in Adana fined for alleged illegal electricity use, including children

One worker said the authorities did not fine him because he has a subscription, but instead fined his 5-year-old child. bianet.org/haber/season...

Our article has been viewed nearly 1,000 times in just 4 days, and we’ve received some very encouraging comments. We hope it continues to reach more people — but more importantly, that it helps raise awareness about this destruction and fuels the growing resistance

In this open-access article, we compare Palestine and Rojava by focusing on the destruction and appropriation of olive trees. We explore how the genocide-ecocide nexus unfolds in these contexts. 2/3

This article is closest to my heart. It’s a piece I’ve long wanted to write, and after a workshop, Necmettin and I decided to co-author it. It has gone through a rigorous review process over the past year, and we deeply value the work we’ve done. 1/3 www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

In my recent conversation with Svenska Dagbladet journalist Mattias Kjellman, I shared my views on what's unfolding in Syria — a troubling sign that such conflicts may well persist if the root causes remain unaddressed.

How does the PKK’s disarmament affect Turkey, Syria and Iraq?

1/2 The “one nation, one people, one army” mindset imposed on Syria — which I discussed in my latest for The Conversation — remains a major obstacle to lasting peace. The oppression faced by the Druze today, the Alawites yesterday, and the Kurds before them all stems from this same root.

On July 11, PKK fighters laid down arms in a powerful and emotional disarmament ceremony.

What does this mean for peace, justice, and Kurdish politics in Turkey and the broader region?

Our edited volume Authoritarian Neoliberalism and Resistance in Turkey: Construction, Consolidation, and Contestation (2022) is now available open-access. We didn’t get to highlight it enough when it was first released, but it's a highly recommended one! 📘 link.springer.com/book/10.1007/9…

Let me just say this, finally: I’m deeply saddened and disappointed. Once compromises like this are made, they tend to continue — I sincerely hope I’m wrong.

So perhaps we should all abandon academia and become diplomats instead — simply repeating the official state line. If that’s what’s expected of us, let it be said clearly, so we at least know where we stand?!

In a region as complex as the Middle East, shifting politics and interests can turn today’s allies into tomorrow’s adversaries. As we’ve seen in Syria, those once on terror lists are now welcomed at the door.

How long can an analyst who is systematically targeted continue to be supported? How can an organization — openly registered in Sweden, fully documented, and funded by reputable international institutions — be seen as “undermining trust”?

In a world where we can’t predict which way the wind will blow, who can say that what happened to Rouzbeh today won’t happen to any of us tomorrow?
