We will continue to take to the streets to protest vigorously. We will not abandon the courageous fighters who are now giving their lives for Rojava and Kurdistan. Kurds are taking to the streets everywhere. In Kurdistan, in Turkey, in Europe, and around the world. The protests are getting stronger and stronger. We are on the streets day and night. Our message to the international community: you can betray the Kurds, that is your shameful choice, but we will resist, and that is our proud choice. That is why we are going to the European Commission in Brussels.

Thursday, January 22:
14h At Schumanplein. Wetstraat 232, 1040 Brussels.
and 18h at Operaplein, 2000 Antwerpen

Wij blijven de straat optrekken om krachtig te protesteren. We laten de moedige strijders die nu hun leven geven voor Rojava en Koerdistan niet alleen. Overal komen de Koerden op straat. In Koerdistan, in Turkije, in Europa en de wereld. De acties worden sterker en sterker. Dag en nacht zijn we op straat. Ons boodschap aan de internationale gemeenschap: jij kan de Koerden verraden, dat is uw schandelijke keuze, maar wij gaan in verzet, en dat is onze trotse keuze. Daarom trekken we naar de Europese Commissie in Brussel.

Brussels plunged into chaos as farmers unleashed an orgy of escalation, violence, arson, explosives, and property damage — looks like terrorism.

But hey, they’re farmers, so even Deutsche Welle won’t call it out.

"Farmers protest"? Give me a break. 😬

Good morning from Brussels

​

Looking through an attic window ten minutes after sunrise, we can see vague shapes of brick buildings and chimneys, shrouded in light rain. The window has a thick unfinished wood frame. The glass is covered in rain drops and condensation. The sky is blank grey.

Kleine Zavel, Brussels, a garden of perfect lines and timeless calm. The reflections in the fountain feel like a conversation between past and present.

A statue of two figures dressed in historical attire stands atop a fountain surrounded by a decorative pool. The scene features autumn foliage, with colorful leaves scattered in the water, and a cloudy sky overhead.

After the rain, Église Notre–Dame au Sablon seemed to glow. The stone still shimmered, and light from the stained glass spilled across the silence inside.

Sometimes the most moving moments while traveling aren’t the grand ones, they’re the quiet ones where the world just slows down.

I'm so upset about the student room my daughter is renting.

The images they sent us were all fake.

The room doesn't have a chair, a mattress or even the light.

The information on their site said it's fully furnished apartment which is kind of BS.

But it has a tiny fridge that is useful.
