EVERY year on April 25, Italians celebrate the day of liberation, marking the date in 1945 that the nazi occupation in northern Italy was defeated by the anti-fascist resistance.
This year, the date has been chosen to launch a fundraising drive for displaced people from Afrin in northern Syria. Named “SiAmo Afrin” to mean both “We are Afrin” and “I love Afrin,” the campaign has been backed by a range of political organisations in Italy and around the world, from Australia to Poland.
It aims not just to raise a significant amount of money for urgent aid to the displaced people of Afrin but also to break the international silence on the humanitarian disaster caused by Turkey’s war on Afrin.
