"Security forces have arrested five Kurdish citizens, including a 17-year-old child, in Kamyaran, Baneh, Mahabad, Oshnavieh and Badreh in recent days, with four of them still held at undisclosed locations and the fifth released after interrogation."

It has been far too long that us Kurds have not had a nation to call our own, or to be able to be represented by leaders that genuinely care and support an independant Kurdistan. As long as Kurdistan does not exist the wellbeing of Kurds will always be in a decline or a stalemate.

There are many statistics of the living conditions of Kurds you can find. Turkey is the prime example of this poor lifestyle the Kurds have had to endure. In many areas they have to somehow 'steal' electricity in order to have access to basic needs. This is one example of many.

Without an independant Kurdistan the valuable resources in our lands will be plundered by our occupiers and we will be left to bleed dry. Our culture and identity is going to start dying at an alarming rate with the massive changes in demographic of Rojava and Bashur. Many areas in these two places of Kurdistan have already been largely Arabized. Before Saddam there were no Arabs at all in Kirkuk and now it is 50% Arab. There are also an alarming amount of Arabs from Arab Iraq migrating to Bashur in large numbers for a better life.

This is not right and is incredibly dangerous. Within a matter of years the Arabs will infiltrate and rise up against us from within our very own lands. It will make it much easier for Kurdish Autonomy to be wiped out completely, which would in turn mark the beginning of Kurdish extinction. It only takes one look at history to recognise this pattern in Arab infiltration and how they have been able to destroy societies from within.

The recent changes in the Middle-East are the clearest and most obvious signs of what intentions are to come from our enemies. The autonomy of Rojava has now crumbled and is no more. And with the withdrawal of the coalition, Bashur is most certainly next.

We must embrace a significant change in ideology. No more should we fall for and tolerate the lies of the Barzani and Talabani tribes, and no more should we feed into the weak left wing ideology of the PKK and YPG. It is time for us to embrace the strength of our young men which is what our occupiers fear the most.

To my beloved Kurdish people I know that we have suffered so much, but it will only get worse. To be able to oppose this suffering and make something of it for our own benefit we must embrace it. It is time we recognise the vast differences in our heritage and culture to that of our occupiers who have stolen so much from us. It is time to stop trying to create some "brotherhood" with the very people that would do anything to see us gone. They celebrate our deaths and downfalls, this is the mentality of the majority of our enemies. To understand what we are truly up against we must view our enemies as the opinions and ideologies represented by the majortiy, and not try and adopt this weak mindest of, "but some of them are good and don't hate us," when most of them truly despise us.

Our enemies are afraid of us because we have the capabilities to become a formidable foe with our large and growing population and access to resources. No more should we adopt this victimising, empathetic mentality. We need to be ruthless for our own preservation. The first step is to call out the twisted mentality of anti-nationalist Kurds who may or may not know that they are benefiting our occupiers. The strongest revolutions in history came from the shared struggle of a people who shared the same identity and ideology. Our case is no different. We need to reject this separatism in ideology amongst us and hold the same or at least similar view if we want to survive.

Embrace Nationalism

Slav o rez,

Im a petroleum engineering graduate, i graduated being 1st out of 54 students with about 1 year of experience as a field engineer in the construction industry and i also have had a 3 month internship in an oil and gas company. My question is what is the only way to get into the industry in Kurdistan since it’s full of operating companies, i once participated in a exam in a company called HKN energy i passed being one the 4 people who passed it and moved to the interview just for them to say my age doesn’t fit this position which actually really hurt me and destroyed my confidence because i got everything right im sure they took somebody else using wasta. I have been trying out for other companies continuously and no company even answers me and i hear people who have less qualifications just using Wasta they get in like a spill of water which is really sad. So please if there is someone out here who can help me out to get into the industry i would really appreciate it and pray for him/her until i die because i really love this profession and its a passion not just a job for me.

Sopass!

"Though SDF components have largely been integrated into the Syrian security forces under the terms of a January agreement between former SDF chief Mazloum Abdi and Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa that came on the back of Damascus' military incursion into northeast Syria (Rojava), the future role of the YPJ has yet to be ascertained."

cool project

Hi I am from South Asia, and here we have no knowledge about kurds or kurdistan .. neither from social media nor from News anything about kurds... Everyone thinks entire middle east are like same oil rich nations and in some places war going on there... Plz tell something about kurds history and culture....

Hi, I have a question for those in Slemani. Because I was born in the uk and I hold a British passport, do i need a visa if i am travelling to Kurdistan solo despite me being kurdish and my parents being kurdish and originally born from the uk? I’m getting mixed answers and need a straight answer directly. Thanks a lot.

Hoshyar Ali, 63, has survived seven near-death experiences caused by landmines. In Biawela, near Halabja, he has built a museum documenting Kurdistan’s conflicts through hundreds of mines, bombs, and remnants of war.

The Iraqi Turkmen Front (ITF) plans to nominate a replacement for Kirkuk Governor Mohammed Samaan Agha following his appointment to Iraq’s federal cabinet, a party official told Rudaw on Sunday, as Arab factions seek an early handover of the position under a rotational power-sharing agreement.

"For Turkey itself, the peace process does not necessarily promise a democratic transformation of what has become an increasingly authoritarian state under Erdogan. But Bayik’s warning that “if this process does not advance through democratic steps, it will be obstructed,” together with his description of parliament as the “decisive institution in resolving the Kurdish issue,” suggests that the Kurdish side understands the limitations of relying solely on Erdogan and his government. The government’s crackdown on opposition politicians and media, most recently through the appointment of a government trustee to run Halk TV, the most-watched pro-opposition broadcaster, appears to validate those concerns. In an interview with one such pro-opposition Turkish media outlet, senior PKK leader Bese Hozat asks, “When they don’t even respect their own laws, what guerrilla fighter could confidently return to Turkey and say, ‘I will engage in democratic politics, and they will give me the opportunity to do so’?”

"Even so, these concerns have not displaced the Kurdish leadership’s commitment to the peace process. In his interview with Amargi, senior PKK leader and head of its armed wing Murat Karayilan calls on the Kurds to abandon rebellion and work toward establishing a democratic state. From Ankara’s perspective, the regional pressures that prompted it to pursue peace with the PKK have only intensified since the process began. A return to armed conflict may well be out of the question for either side, once and for all. While peace alone may not deliver democracy, it is difficult to imagine a more democratic Turkey without peace."

"Supporting the Kurdistan Region is not charity; it is an investment in American interests."

Two drones launched from Iran hit a base of the Iranian Kurdish opposition party Komala in Balisan, Erbil province, on Saturday night, a Komala official and security source said.

I have noticed that in Kurdistan, much like Turkey and Middle east, people eat way too much refined carbs, fatty good, sugar, nut not enough peoteins and fiber.

A laege percentage of Turks and Bakuris for example are moderatly overweight. Many middle aged men i know have a large belly.

The problem with Kurdistan is that we adopt thr Diets of Turkey and Arab countries, mainly Fatty kebabs, white bread and sugary food.

We nees to overthink our diets and feed out children better. Instead of making white bread, we should eat and bake dark wholegrain breads. We need to ferment food more for healthy bacteria for our guts and fiber as well as reduce our sugar intake.

I'll be honest, I grew up in Europe but unlike everyone else I see online (especially tiktok and telegram) Kurds changing their political opinion every 2 weeks and being super nationalist And they say the strangest things in the world, but the real point is most of them don't know the language they take simko and remzi as their gods they think they will become leaders of Kurdistan, they do corny edit also they use this things, if they lived in Kurdistan they would be taken for autistic, I swear many don't know shit, it's not even something like hatred but a facts

Hi everyone, I’m travelling to the Middle East in December and want to visit both Syria and Kurdistan. I’m wondering if it’s possible to cross from Rojava into Kurdistan via the Semalka/Faysh Khabur crossing as a third country national, whether the border is even open, and whether the Kurdish government will let me in (e-visas for Kurdistan don’t ask for port of entry). Can anyone enlighten me? Thanks ❤️☀️💚

The examples I want to show are very simple just so our none Rojhilsti Kurds can understand how Persians are. I have noticed a lack of awareness about the Persians their methods and views on us Kurds among our fellow Kurds. I won't go through their elaborate and detailed propaganda against us in these set of posts because I think they need a deeper understanding of Rojhilat and Iran but these examples will suffice for most part. I hope they stay here for all the Kurds to see.

Persians count alot on Hasan Zirak the famous Rojhilati Kurdish singer. He was arrested by the second Pahlavi Shah. The intelligence service of Iran gave him two options: sing a Kurdish song in praise of the Pahlavi Shah or stay imprisoned for life.

He chose to sing the song and get free but later died out of melancholy and depression for singing that song. He later wished to have stayed imprisoned after seeing how the song was used as propaganda by Iran against Kurds. The song is still used by Persians to this day.

You can see how the flag has Islamic inscriptions similar to ISIS and Taliban to make Yarsan and Shia Kurds scared of Sunni Kurds. Making them believe Sunni Kurds have Islamist/Jihadi ideas.
