Jailed PKK leader Abdullah Öcalan has called on his organization to disband and lay down arms—but the final decision rests with the PKK’s upcoming congress. For 43 years, the Kurdistan Workers’ Party has fought a national liberation war.

Here’s how it all began. 🧵

The PKK is one of the largest armed non-state actors worldwide. Öcalan led its foundation in 1978 in the southeast of Türkiye with the zeal to fight for an independent Kurdistan. The early PKK was heavily inspired by the socialist and anti-colonial movement that defined the 1970s.

Just two years after the party’s founding, Türkiye was rocked by a military coup. The Kurdish language was banned. The state launched a full-blown counterinsurgency campaign, targeting the surging leftist and Kurdish independence movements that had begun to take root.

On this day in 1869, Bolshevik revolutionary Nadezhda Krupskaya was born.

Nadezhda Krupskaya was born on February 26, 1869. As a leading Bolshevik revolutionary and wife of Lenin, she made significant yet often overlooked contributions to the Marxist-Leninist movement.

Krupskaya’s early involvement in Marxist student societies gave her an understanding of the struggles and injustices of working-class people. She dedicated almost 50 years to the party and revolutionary transformation of society.

DPR Korean doctors are “violating” UN sanctions by providing medical services in DR Congo, according to US-funded Radio Free Asia (RFA). What the RFA report omits is that ongoing conflicts have left millions in DR Congo without much-needed medical services.

With one of the world’s lowest healthcare coverage rates, DR Congo’s hospitals and clinics lack personnel, equipment, and critical medicine. Decades of conflict—especially in the country’s east—have further restricted access to essential care.

However, since 2019, UN Security Council Resolution 2397 has barred all DPRK medical staff from working abroad in an effort to cut off funding for the DPRK’s weapons programs.

On this day in 1958, Cuban guerillas led by Fidel Castro kidnapped then Formula One reigning world champion Juan Manuel Fangio. They aimed to bring international attention to their cause and embarrass the US-backed dictator Fulgencio Batista’s government. 🧵

The summer of 1958 saw the second anniversary of the “Monaco Grand Prix of the Caribbean” in Havana, Cuba. Although the race was not part of the world championship, plenty of prominent drivers participated - partly because the US-backed dictator Batista dug deep into his pockets to provide a spectacle for the national bourgeoisie and tourists.

The 46-year-old race champion Juan Manuel Fangio nicknamed El Maestro for his unprecedented win rate of 24 out of 52 Formula One races, arrived in Havana on February 23, 1958, to defend his title at the upcoming Grand Prix.
