As part of a solidarity group, comic blogger Zerocalcare travelled to the Turkish-Syrian border region. The autonomous region of Rojava had emerged there in the Kurdish-dominated parts, with the city of Kobane symbolising the resistance in the fight against the Islamic State. In January 2014, the democratic self-government established by the population adopted a social charter: with equal rights for women, religious freedom and a ban on the death penalty. These are the values from which Turkey under Erdoğan is moving further and further away.
Zerocalcare visited the people on the ground, and his report is not only a great reportage, but also an appeal to the heart and a call for support: Kobane calling!
