A suicide bombing this week in the Turkish town of Suruc was a clear political attack on labour and international solidarity activists. The bomber targeted a gathering of activists who were meeting as part of an ongoing effort to reconstruct the northern Syrian town of Kobane. The city of Kobane was the centre of resistance by the left wing forces of the PYD against Islamic State and other reactionary forces. The rebuilding of Kobane has been organised as a class based, international project. The labour movement internationally needs to support our Turkish and Syrian brothers and sisters.
