Hi.

So i don't really write my own posts in here, but the situation here is getting worse so i felt like i had to something.

We need help. These wildfires ( which there are 125 of them and although majority of them are contained major ones are still going and getting bigger) destroyed some many land, people and animals. We are doing everything we can but our goverment is inefficent at best and actively sabotaging the efforts at worst.

I hope that when you see this post, you'll continue to spread it. Forest fires hurt every single one of us, not just the region the forest belongs to.

(To the other turkish people in here : if you have links or any other information that can help this, please add it!)

Here's some context on the #helpturkey posts that have been circulating bc without context these posts run the risk of being emptied out as pray4turkey virtue-signaling.

Turkey is the Mediterranean country hit the hardest bt wildfires not bc of any natural reasons but bc of the negligence and corruption of the ruling party. Even though global warming definitely worsened their intensity, wildfires are always expected in a heatwave.

Of the affected countries Greece owns 20 firefighting planes, France 26, Spain 17, and Italy 19, whereas Turkey has 0 functional ones and had to lease 3 planes from Russia for 1.3 million liras per day. (The presidential palace boasts 13 planes and AKP officials use private jets for everything so this is not a matter of not being able to afford planes.)

The funds and facilities of the responsible institution (Turkish Aeronotical Association) have been plundered for years. And now state officials, while admitting there's not a single extinguishing plane that can be used, are trying to shift the blame to Turkey's eternal scapegoats, the Kurds, implying that the cause of the fires could be terrorist "sabotage". The murder of the Dedeoğlu family was a direct consequence of this rhetoric and there are reports that ultranationalist gangs are patrolling villages and attacking people they suspect to be Kurdish.

Pro-gov media claims everything's under control but mayors of the burning cities are going on camera to beg for helicopters and planes because the flames are unstoppable and the wind is blowing strong.

In the past days the goverment selectively accepted aid from countries like Russia & Azerbaijan but not others. AKP doesn't want to appear weak and instead of focusing on putting out the fires, they're fuiling their propaganda machine with the hope they can score a few votes by fearmongering.

Municipalities are helpless because under the presidential system, many of their funds and operational powers have been taken away and centralized. Locals and volunteers are left to their own devices.

So people in Turkey took it upon themselves to ask for international help and pressure the goverment to accept help from the EU and others. Because otherwise no air support is on its way and everything will burn.
