The Kurdish question, the general term for the fact that the Kurds
have no independent homeland of their own, is one of the most
complex issues in the Middle East. This situation will inevitably
continue to bring about other problems. Its geographical location
in one of the most fragile and strategically important parts of the
region should not be ignored. This situation needs to be resolved
urgently to prevent it becoming even more complicated and severe.
The Kurdish question is, in both form and content, more complex and
bears wider regional ramifications than the Arab-Israeli conflict,
which at present occupies a central position in the media
throughout the world. In his second book Mr Ocalan applies the
political and historical philosophy that was developed in the first
volume of his Prison Writings to the Kurdish question. It is less
philosophical and abstract and addresses the concrete political
issues at the centre of the Kurdish question. The author calls for
a "Renaissance of the Middle East" where the integration of
democratic western values and universal human rights with the
deeply rooted cultural values of the Middle Eastern societies,
especially the Kurdish one, will form a new synthesis of
civilisations.
In his second book, Abdullah Ocalan applies the political and
historical philosophy that was developed in the first volume of his
Prison Writings to the Kurdish question. The book addresses the
concrete political issues at the centre of the Kurdish question.
Ocalan calls for a 'Renaissance of the Middle East' where the
integration of democratic Western values and universal human rights
with the deeply rooted cultural values of the Middle Eastern
societies, especially the Kurdish, will form a new synthesis of
civilisations. Abdullah Ocalan was the leader of the Kurdish
Workers Party (PKK). He was eventually kidnapped while in Kenya in
1999, and has been in prison in Turkey ever since. Ocalan was the
most wanted man in Turkey for almost two decades until his
kidnapping. From 1984, under his leadership, the PKK fought for an
independent Kurdish state in the southeast of Turkey. In a
sustained popular uprising, tens of thousands of PKK guerrillas
took on the second largest army in NATO. The book begins with
Preliminary Notes by Cemil Bayik, military commander of the PKK.

Der Fall gegen den Innenminister Bei der Love-Parade 2010 in
Duisburg kam es zu 21 Toten und Hunderten Verletzten. Zum Zeitpunkt
der Ver ffentlichung dieses Buches, im Herbst 2012 war das
Ermittlungsverfahren noch immer nicht abgeschlossen. L ngst
jedochwar der damalige Oberb rgermeister Adolf Sauerland abgew hlt
und ein neuer Mann war ins Rathaus eingezogen. In den Tagen nach
dem Ungl ck wiesen Veranstalter, Polizei und Stadtverwaltung in
Duisburg sich gegenseitig die Schuld an der Trag die zu. Dabei
geriet Duisburgs Oberb rgermeister Sauerland zunehmend ins
Kreuzfeuer von R cktrittsforderungen. Gleichzeitig, jedoch von der
Mehrheit der Bev lkerung kaum noch wahrgenommen und von Teilen der
Medien ignoriert, mehrten sich schon fr hzeitig die Vorw rfe gegen
die Polizei - unterst tzt durch Zeugen, Gutachter und Videos. Der
Verantwortliche f r die Polizei in NRW, Innenminister Ralf J ger,
ebenfalls ein Duisburger, hielt sich jedoch dezent im Hintergrund
und betrieb stattdessen mit Hilfe seiner Partei erfolgreich die
Abwahlkampagne gegen Sauerland. Inzwischen allerdings ist vielen
Beobachtern klar: Ralf J ger h tte noch am Tag des Ungl cks seinen
Hut nehmen m ssen. Der Autor hat mit Zeugen und Beteiligten
gesprochen, Videos ausgewertet und die vorhandenen Gutachten
untersucht. Dieser Titel ist ein in sich geschlossener Teil aus dem
Band "Machtspiel," der demn chst erscheint und die Frage
untersucht, inwieweit die Politik sich nach der Trag die die Opfer
f r ihre eigenen Zweck zunutze gemacht hat.
