The Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) has announced its dissolution, marking the end of more than four decades of “armed struggle” against the Turkish state, according to the pro-Kurdish Firat News Agency.
Reuters reported that the PKK has concluded its historical mission. In a statement following its recent congress, the party declared: “The 12th congress of the PKK has decided to dissolve the organizational structure of the PKK and end its armed struggle.”
On another front, the Polisario Front, backed by the Algerian regime, emerges as a separatist movement aiming to achieve its goals through armed struggle in Western Sahara. Despite international calls for resolving disputes peacefully, the Polisario continues to adopt a military approach, receiving logistical and political support from Algeria.
The stance of the Algerian regime reveals a clear contradiction: while it supports separatist movements like the Polisario, it also hosts Kurdish figures opposed to Turkey, causing Ankara’s frustration on several occasions.
