Kurds on both sides of the Turkish-Syrian border protested against the construction of a wall meant to seperate the Kurdish communities of the two countries. The AKP government has recently intensified their efforts to build a wall that intends to create a further cliff between Kurds from Syria and Kurds from Turkey. The Kurds from this area are usually from same tribes and are often family members, though seperated between the border of two countries.
Today Kurds from Nisebin clashed with Turkish police to protest the construction of the '' Wall of Shame''.

The Kurdish mayor Ayse Gokkan of the Kurdish city Nisebin in Turkey went on a hunger strike for 9 days to protest the construction of the wall. She is now hospitalized.
Today, after weeks of construction, the Turkish state finally stopped the construction due to massive popular protests and demonstrations on both sides of the border. Both in Nisebin on the Turkey side and Qamishlo on the Syria side.
