Homage to Rojava In particular, the radical autonomy Rojava granted to tens of thousands of women is the revolution’s clearest, most undeniable achievement. The autonomous women’s fighting units and equivalent political and civil-society structures can hardly stomach the thought of submitting to al-Sharaa’s misogynistic, Islamist rule. For women raised in conditions of unexpected and transformative freedom, it’s impossible to imagine being driven back into the marital home.
The Rojava project was brief, flawed and beset on all sides. But it was a historic crystallization of noble ideas that defined the post-Arab Spring Middle East. If Rojava was ultimately more Paris Commune than October Revolution, it was a revolution nonetheless. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
