One of the Occupiers wrote a few days ago to tell us about the inclusivity of the Occupation and to invite people to get involved...

We need people to come and make things happen in this space, we need you and your contacts for workshops, talks, theatre, screenings, panels etc in our new indoor Activity Centre, we need your presence at the camp. We need new people sleeping here to change the dynamics again and offer new energy, ideas and HANDS! We need participation. What we most certainly do not need is for the movement to be looked at as an established paradigm that people chose to participate in or not. The movement is emergent, extremely emergent at the moment, changing every week in new and fascinating ways, and I can only marvel at what this movement might be if all of those individuals out there who aren’t getting involved because they don’t like x, y or z came and changed x, y or z. We are inviting you, entreating you, to come and claim ownership over this movement that belongs to everybody. You are not reading the brochure of Home for Cooperation or CCMC and deciding whether you want to be a member or not. You are not surveying ideas and trying to establish whether you share them. We have the two principal axis as stated above in bold type, and the rest is as open as the sky. You are invited to come and make, here, now, whatever it is you want to see here and now. This is not a challenge to put your money where your mouth is, this is not a response to criticism with “well come and see if you can do better”. This is a plea to empathise and understand that this is something new, that we can’t be thinking about it in the same way that we have thought about anything else before, whether we are activists or not. We don’t need any more people only attending general assemblies to engage in endless debate about what should be, we need hands to make it be! We need you to realise that this is yours, it’s your neighbours', it's your childrens' and it’s your mothers'. We need you to come and change what you dont like about the space and give what you feel is missing, we need you to help the movement MOVE. We need YOU. We do. We don’t need your disappointment, indifference, apathy or laziness. We need your passion, we need your conviction and we need your determination.

We need people outside of the living team to take shifts to give out leaflets and talk to passers by in the crossing (energies are understandably running low after 2 months of sleeping in tents in the cold), we need new people sleeping in the living quarters, we need people doing outreach activities in their cities, we need you to get up and activate and materialise these wonderful ideas you all have. Everybody is in charge. There is no central committee, there is no hierarchy, when you see a job – it’s yours.

We want to be together, we don’t want to live on a military base, we want to break the indoctrination, we want to free and be free – here is your chance, here is your moment, here is your space and here are your brothers and sisters.
What you see now in the Buffer Zone is the result of the spontaneity of those who have acted, and the omission of those who haven’t.

Latest news from the Occupation of the Buffer Zone...

The occupiers are opening what they call a "Coffee Shop" and following an appeal have acquired a router and cabling to establish a wi-fi network in ReUnited Free CY... so the buffer zone will soon have its very own internet cafe.

love the inthusisasm guys, on this forum, but still waiting for you all to wake up. We have all said we would like unification but when it comes to details, like the GC guy on the aljazera interview says to finer details, it is a difficult question. It will end just like mass get to gethers of friends at a restaurant, arguments as to who had what and how much each should pay.

[repulsewarrior]

...zan, relax, you are welcome, this is a first, have a seat and laugh with us, love with us. Cyprus is not "Greek" or "Turkish", we are here and all over the planet, Cypriots, all you have to do is choose.

Choose???? Your manifesto or Kikapus? TC manifesto or GC? Turkish or Greek? British or American? Russian or Chinese? Naivety causes stress and lives. What we need is adults acting like adults. A rose is a rose by any other name etc......................................Pass the weed and lets form a hippy colony. Thr real world means nothing to us

when leaders emerge that will have cyprus interest at heart and not the motherlands...we had no leaders since 1960 but a lot of brainwashing since then...hence the problems

[repulsewarrior]

...exactly, the youth, and if you do not join then, at least don't call them names, they are our heros and from their mass a new movement evolves.

[Paphitis]

Have to agree with RW!

They are our youth and our kids will evolve to be like them and unlike those that have become cynical with no hope.

This is the bright future which exists for us all, and we have no place destroying their dreams or ambitions for our island.

And I really like the Kibrilisi Girl on Al Jazeera. mmmmm soooo hot! I would blow a few smoke rings with her any day!
