Philippines: Seven Guerrillas Killed by the Military
Seven members of the New People’s Army (NPA) were killed in the morning of November 21 by government forces in Barangay Gatuslao, Candoni, Negros Occidental. They were soldiers of the 3rd Infantry Division who ambushed and machine–gunned a group of about a dozen Maoists. The ongoing anti–guerrilla operation targeted members of the NPA Southwest Front, Komiteng Rehiyon–Negros, Cebu, Bohol, Siquijor. The military recovered five M16s, two AK-47s and one M653 (pictured).#guerrillas
One of many earlier #British #ColonialCrimes in #SouthEastAsia. The #BriggsPlan in #Malaysia.
The Nazi regime during WWII forever gave the term #ConcentrationCamp a name symbolic of #atrocity, so when British #colonizers once again visited the idea of #ForcedRelocation of #IndigenousPeoples to isolate them they needed another name for the enclaves. They came up with #NewVillages. The New Villages were created under the Briggs Plan, which was developed to combat the communist insurgency in #Malaya during the 1950 #MalayanEmergency. The plan was prepared by Sir Harold Briggs, a British General who was the Director of Operations in Malaya.
#Britain lost the Malayan Peninsula and their fortress at Singapore to the Japanese during WWII and reoccupied their former dominion after the fall of Japan. Among the many difficulties the British encountered was the presence of roughly a half-million #Chinese in rural Malaya, most working as farmers working small plots of land for their own sustenance on land they did not own or lease. The British administration regarded these Chinese as squatters and found them a problem because they were physically distant from the machinery of British authority, which most of the Malayan population was not happy to see return to their country.
When the Malayan #CommunistParty received support from armed #guerrillas from Malaya and #China, the British, intent on restoring #Imperial rule to the peninsula, looked with additional distrust upon these rural Chinese. While some of the Chinese were certainly sympathetic to the communists, most were indifferent. The British concern was that the communist #insurgents would receive support from the squatters in the form of food, neglecting the fact that the majority of the Chinese squatters were barely able to grow enough to support themselves. The Briggs plan required the forced relocation of the Chinese.
The New Villages isolated the Chinese, and they were guarded by Malayan police and British Military Police and some troops. The Chinese could not leave the villages except under escort and nobody was allowed in without the permission of the guards, making them effectively prisons. The villages were built with running water and electricity, amenities absent from most Malayan villages, and health care and some educational facilities were provided. This caused resentment towards the British from the Malay outside the villages, who didn’t receive the same amenities, and the Chinese, who resented the forced relocation settlement.
Although the New Villages, of which 450 were built, were an improvement over the forced detention camps of the Boer War, and death rates in the villages were roughly the same as for the rest of the country, there were racially motivated #CollectivePunishments directed towards the Chinese population in the villages. #Deportation without trial by the administration was a common punishment for the Chinese. Law within the villages was the decision of the British. Many of the villages are still standing and in recent years have been restored to serve as tourist destinations by the Malaysian government with support from China.

Many young people continue to join the guerrillas. 25 young Kurds have completed their guerrilla training at the Martyr Erdal School and made a joint statement. The guerrillas spoke of the fact that the Kurdish people are currently dealing with a question of being or not being. They warned young people in particular that the system was trying to “turn them into robots in its service.”
“We don’t want to live in a system that turns people into robots”
The guerrillas continued: “We don’t want to live in a system that turns people into robots. For us there is only one place to live: the mountains of Kurdistan and the freedom movement. On this basis, we joined the guerrillas. As 25 friends, we successfully completed our training dedicated to Martyr Serxwebûn Serhed at the Martyr Erdal School.”
The guerrillas added: “We will continue to engage with the apoist ideology and the knowledge gained in this training. We have experienced military discipline, apoist culture and morale. We will use our findings to wage a battle to defeat the system. We call on the Kurdish, Arab young people, the entire young people of the Middle East to join the ranks of the freedom guerrillas of Kurdistan. Let’s take a stand against this dirty system. Enough is enough!”
The new guerrillas then went to their new areas of responsibility.
In other news, the Press Office of the People’s Defense Forces (HPG) released a statement providing information about the latest actions by the guerrillas and attacks by the Turkish army in the guerrilla-held Medya Defense Zones in southern Kurdistan (northern Iraq).

They marched to death with their crimson, burning hearts. . . Neither the terror of fascism nor the dungeons could stop them from fighting.
Even when they were captured, they were armed with an unshakable belief in their ideals, with the courage and will to say, “I come from making a revolution” in the face of the enemy.
Theirs was such a belief in the victory of humanity and the working people. They had the audacity and determination to laugh at death.
As they breathed their last, they kicked the coffee table with a consciousness that knew that they had already won the victory and that the fire they lit would burn to communism.
The Denizs became the pioneers of the united revolution of Turkey and Northern Kurdistan, the first guerrilla leaders, and the determined fighters of the struggle for democracy and socialism. The rulers were aware of the meaning of the revolutionary rupture created by the Marines and their revolutionary generation. The seas rushed forward for the revolution, showing the masses that freedom and liberation would come through revolution based on force.
Fascism claims that by slaughtering the Seas, it will destroy their revolutionary struggle; that it will give a decisive intimidation to the revolutionary peoples; He thought that he would frighten and intimidate the working people. The rulers wanted the torch they lit not to burn again. Not only the remembrance of the names of the Seas; They imagined a society frightened by capitalist exploitation and fascism. Didn‘t every oppressor class, destined to be erased from history, wish the same for its enemies—revolutionaries?
On the 52nd anniversary of their execution, Denizler and their generation of revolutionary fighters are remembered by the working people more than ever, and their struggles are embraced more thoroughly. As revolutionaries, remembered with longing and consciousness by the toiling masses, they became the banner of practical struggle, the symbol of victory. The revolutionary forces that escalated the war, imitating their revolutionary breakthrough, fearlessly march towards victory. At every step and everywhere they take, the toiling masses salute the Seas and the great leaders of our revolution, carry their pictures, tell their lives to those who do not know them, and confront the enemy with their slogans.
If our immortal revolutionary leaders are more firmly embraced by the masses despite the passage of half a century; This appropriation derives from the strength of our united revolution, the solid foundations on which our struggle rests, and the values that socialism provides to humanity. Denizs and their revolutionary generation have also been engraved in history as the great leaders of our united revolution because they have shown with their revolutionary practices that they are brave and self-sacrificing fighters of the revolution and the struggle for socialism at the cost of blood and lives.
To commemorate the seas is to fight like them!
Deniz, Yusuf, Hussein; The fear of fascism, the revolutionary leaders of our peoples, the hope of the emancipation of the working people, became the symbol of our united revolution and the immortal courageous fighters of our struggle for freedom.
We, as the Peoples‘ United Revolutionary Movement, will continue to protect the leaders of our united revolution today as we did yesterday. To commemorate and embrace the seas and their revolutionary struggle is only possible by fighting like the Seas, fighting against every difficulty like them, and moving forward resolutely.
Today, more than ever, it is important to commemorate the leaders of our united revolution and strengthen their struggle. The capitalist world is collapsing. This reality, which shakes the whole world deeply, also shakes the fascist state. Economic, political and social crisis has become a depression. Unemployment is rising, misery and poverty are deepening. The decay created by the imperialist capitalist system and all the serious social problems are growing like an avalanche.
Rulers around the world resort to fascist terror to maintain their political dominance. Even in the most “democratic” countries, massive attacks are carried out against the masses. The fascist terror against the actions taken in solidarity with the Palestinian people shows this reality, and the attacks intensify as the struggle of the masses develops.
The peoples of Turkey and Northern Kurdistan have been living with this fascist terror for many years. Mass killings, intense arrests, systematic attacks on all kinds of democratic actions and workers‘ resistance continue to increase. The resistance of the peoples against the attacks is growing stronger.
Imperialist capitalism is aware that its domination is slipping away from it. They are preparing to add to their battles to maintain power. The more they see that they are losing the war they have waged against the peoples of the world, the more they become more and more angry. While the Zionist genocide against the Palestinian people in Gaza continues in the most brutal way, the struggle and resistance of the peoples of the world is also developing. Both the Palestinian people and the peoples of the world have risen up and continue to struggle in every field. At home, U. S. imperialism is being shaken by militant solidarity actions by university youth.
The fascist Republic of Turkey is also involved in these wars with the attacks and war it carries out against Rojava and the Medya Defense Zones. In this way, he is trying to survive his inevitable end. The effective struggle of the guerrilla and our peoples is inflicting heavy blows on the enemy. It opens breaches in the walls of fascism.
In such days of intense revolutionary struggle, we commemorate comrades Deniz Gezmiş, Yusuf Aslan and Hüseyin İnan. The seas and their revolutionary generation are becoming a light for us with the fire they have lit, the determined struggle they have waged and the unshakable will. Today is the time to step forward like them and destroy fascism.
The Seas, the Mahirs, the Abrahams and the Oppressed showed us the way to walk. To overthrow fascism and to win freedom and liberation is our most urgent and current task.
The Peoples‘ United Revolutionary Movement is ready to walk the path of revolution united with the working class, women, the revolutionary Kurdish people, the youth and all the revolutionary forces of society!
The conditions are right, all revolutionary peoples, stand up!On the 52nd anniversary of their executions, we commemorate comrades Deniz, Yusuf and Hüseyin with respect and longing, and we reiterate our promise of victory and revolution to them.
Hail to those who fought against fascism, to those who rushed forward like the Seas!
Comrades Deniz Gezmiş, Yusuf Aslan and Hüseyin İnan are immortal!
WE WILL DESTROY FASCISM, WE WILL WIN FREEDOM!
LONG LIVE THE UNITED REVOLUTIONARY MOVEMENT OF THE PEOPLES!

The Black freedom fighters of the Lesser Antilles became known as “brigands” during the french revolution. Their fascinating story has never been written, perhaps because they have been dismissed as runaway slaves in a state of insurrection. The author believed that history has been unfair to the “brigands”. He felt indebted to them for sparing the life of his great-great-great-grandmother who was left in their care when the rest of the Devaux family fled to Martinique for safety. His gratitude motivated him to attempt to exonerate the “brigands” from the stigma of their history and present them in a different light, as freedom fighters caught up in a desperate situation.
