The right to assembly and demonstration is guaranteed by Article 34 of the Constitution of the Republic of Turkey. According to this article, everyone has the right to organize meetings and demonstrations without prior permission, without arms and without attack. Relying on this article, Turkish University Students exercised their right to demonstrate and march; they protested against the arrest and continued detention of the elected mayor Ekrem İmamoğlu without evidence or documentation and these protests continued for days; educated young people were arrested and imprisoned without any legal basis, ignoring Article 34 of the Constitution. The news channels of political Islamists and the Western Media, which supports the continuation of the Government in Turkey, are trying to dampen the support for Turkish Students all over the world by downplaying the events. This is announced to the citizens of the Independent World!

Go home, Erdogan! We do not want you at all!

The dic.tatorial pr*s*d*n*t of Turkey (I could be prosecuted for saying this) wants to turn the country into something like Russia, North Korea, or China… He and his supporters have become enemies of their own people. He wants no rivals, no opposition. By controlling the judiciary, the executive, and all administrative bodies, he tries to crush anyone in his path — despite all the corruption and failed governance.

im Korean we won twice. and turkish people will win too. the democracy people win unconditionally.

Turkish people are still very lucky, they have a strong and reliable opposition party in parliament to oppose authoritarian power. Although the authorities are quite repressive with the demonstration movement. We have the same bad fate, here in Indonesia. The people do not have a strong enough opposition voice in Parliament. The Opposition Party is like a toothless tiger in front of power and a fat government coalition. Every month bad news always hits us, Tax Increases, corruption cases ranging from 200 Trillion to 900 Trillion we have, the Rupiah is getting weaker, investors are fleeing our country, efficiency that takes away the budget for education and health, but not for the luxurious official vehicles of officials, and most recently our government is trying to add military positions in the civil government, making our country one step closer to the power of a military junta. We are one step closer to a Multi-dimensional crisis. Our people are fighting on their own, but the government continues to deny, considering the Demonstrators to be a group of troublemakers funded by foreigners. While we are struggling on the streets in a state of hunger, there is not a single opposition politician or those who have the power to criticize the government, only a few public figures and influencers who dare to speak out are suppressed and threatened by the government. The government does not listen, they rent fake accounts on social media, to divide the voices of the people on social media and spread propaganda. Indonesia is truly living in a George Orwell novel. Therefore, we express solidarity with the Turkish people, because we are all struggling!

Islam is a virus. It makes the societies it infects sick.

There is no justice and democracy in Islam. It is also written in the Quran. Open and read. You will understand.

Greetings people of the Earth.
Please can we get some help in SUDAN.
They are 50 Million people in Population.
Kids are starving. Children have to eat rats. I saw  the child was carrying a plate of rats which was not even fully cooked.  and I'm struggling to get that image off my mind. I have tears in my eyes when I'm eating cos I keep thinking about the children on that end of the world. This is also a crisis, quiet famine people that surviving eating rats and leaves over a million people have fled to the nuba mountains arelatively peaceful corner of the country only to find there is no food no
infrastructure no electricity no paved roads, no running water,
both Sudan's Army and the rebels
are accused of horrendous human rights
abuses and of creating the world's worst
humanitarian crisis tens of thousands of people have been killed there are widespread reports of rape and torture and a hunger crisis is gripping the nation
Children are severely malnourished
Children as little as one year old are raped.
Husband's are shot and killed in front of there wives and the wife is told not to scream or shout cos they will kill her if they scream and cry.
RAPE IS THEIR WEAPON OF WAR. It's an ACT OF GENOCIDE and nobody is talking about it. 17 Million children are out of school. They have tremendous needs.
SUDANESE GOVERNMENT BLOCKING AIDS FROM REACHING  THE NEEDY IN SUDAN. Sudan has a population of 50 Million people out of which 30 Million people has no food.
A camp has 5000 people. Mostly women n children. Please watch on YouTube
"LIFE INSIDE SUDANS REFUGEES CAMPS"
Sudan possesses a wealth of natural resources, including oil, gold, copper, iron ore, and fertile land, but its ability to process and export these resources is limited due to geographical constraints, corruption, and weak governance. 
In one area there are only 3 doctors serving a population of 4 Million.
I watched a documentary and my heart is screaming n crying. I pray in Jesus Mighty name that someone will read this message and act accordingly. They are people who needs assistance urgently. I pray a few countries will assist them to upgrade the land and increase jobs so people can work and eat. Father I humbly ask you to let this message hit the globe to the right people who has AUTHORITY COMPASSION and POWER to go out there and help our children in Jesus Mighty name. Amen.

The distratrous consequences brought by the so called "ARAB SPRING" in the Arab world is a constant and continuous reminder for all the regional states that these so called "Western Backed Public Protest for Demon-cracy" only bring death and chaos in the Middle Eastern region…..
