SACPblackStar.jpg South African Communist Party, Press Statement, 9 February 2016 SACP condemns the murderous regime of Turkey for its genocide of the Kurdish people The South African Communist Party condemns, in strongest terms possible, the chemical warfare launched by the Turkish state against the Kurdish people, and expresses its revolutionary solidarity with them. Turkey is conducting systematic massacre in Cizre, in the northwest of the Turkish-Syrian-Iraqi tripoint. Tens of thousands of civilians have been subjected to heavy bombardment and street killings. Two different buildings that sheltered wounded people were bombed in this latest round of the Turkish onslaught on the Kurdish people. At least 60 people were brutally killed, with others completely perishing due to chemical reaction with the result that there were no physical remains to be buried with dignity. The Turkish government media (TRT-News) has been reporting the genocide as "victory". This is barbaric. The SACP is calling on the democratic and peace-loving people of the world to take a tough stance against the Turkish regime. The SACP supports the call by Kurdistan Communities Union for sanctions against the Turkish murderous regime and for its leaders who are responsible for the genocide to be held accountable for their crimes against humanity and war crimes.
