Kurds from the city of Sari Kani (Ras al-Ayn) in northern Syria are still waiting to return home years after an offensive by Turkey and Turkish-backed rebels drove them into displacement
Iran + Turkey = Terrorism
The video shows a Kurdish child injured during the Turkish occupation’s shelling of the city of Serekaniye (Ras al-Ayn) with white phosphorus, a weapon prohibited under international law, in 2019.
The photo, meanwhile, shows a Kurdish Peshmerga fighter injured as a result of the Iranian government’s shelling of the city of Sulaymaniyah with white phosphorus, another weapon prohibited under international law.

On July 19th, Iran launched a white phosphorus attack on a Kurdish position near Erbil in Iraqi-Kurdistan, injuring nine, a Kurdish official tells me. The official added the attached photos from the strike.
White phosphorus is not categorically prohibited under international law, but its use is illegal in some circumstances. I’ve firsthand witnessed the excruciating burns and pain that it causes during my time in Armenia.
In the past several days, Iran has launched a punishing wave of strikes against Kurdish targets in northern Iraq. Months after signalling their readiness to enter the US-Israeli-led war, the Kurds continue to suffer casualties, with little ability to hit back.
To condemn the Iranian regime’s use of White Phosphorus weapon against PAK Peshmerga bases on 19 July, which left nine Peshmerga with severe burn injuries, stand in solidarity by using this hashtag.

تكشف الوقائع أن الدعم الغربي للسلطة السورية الحالية ليس دعماً لبناء دولة أو إنجاز انتقال سياسي، بل دعمٌ وظيفي تحكمه المصالح الأمنية والجيوسياسية، وهو ما تؤكده هشاشة الوضع الأمني، وغياب البيئة الجاذبة للاستثمار، واستمرار المؤشرات الدولية التي تنسف الرواية الرسمية عن الاستقرار.
وفي المقابل، تتهاوى سردية حماية التعددية وطمأنة المسيحيين أمام الشهادات الميدانية والتقارير الغربية التي ترصد واقعاً مختلفاً، ما يجعل كثيراً من المبادرات والوعود المعلنة أقرب إلى محاولات لاحتواء الضغوط السياسية والإعلامية منها إلى مؤشرات على تحول حقيقي في طبيعة الحكم.
وبهذا المعنى، يبقى مستقبل السلطة مرهوناً بقدرتها على أداء الدور الإقليمي المطلوب منها في ملفات لبنان وإيران وحزب الله، وسط صراع مصالح بين الولايات المتحدة وتركيا وفرنسا وإسرائيل، لا بقدرتها على بناء دولة ذات سيادة ومؤسسات مستقرة أو إنتاج شرعية سياسية حقيقية.

Du welatîyên Kobanîyê dema ku li Serê Kanîyê li ser kolandina bîran dixebitîn, ji alîyê çekdarên nenas ve hatine revandin û 600 hezar dolarên amerîkî ji bo azadkirina wan tên xwestin. Keça yekî ji wan dibêje ku bavê wê ji bo xwedîkirina wan çûbû kar bike.
A protest was held in the city of Qamishli by the families of Kurdish prisoners and abductees, calling for the immediate release of all detainees and rejecting any bargaining over their fate.
The protesters stated that the Damascus government, with Turkish support, continues to delay resolving this issue and is using the Kurdish prisoners and their leaders as bargaining chips. They called for the immediate and unconditional release of all prisoners and abductees.

We lost Lindsey Graham, a true friend of the Kurdish people and one of Washington’s staunchest hawks for our cause 🕊️
Honoring him means continuing the fight for the Kurdistan Protection Act.
Rest in peace you were one of Kurdistan’s mountains 🏔️🇺🇸

مقطع مصور يظهر فيه الرئيس المؤقت "أبو محمد الجـ ـولانـ ـي " في لقاء سابق يجيب عن فرضية سقوط النظام وكيفية التعامل مع الأقليات حينها؟
"سيحكم نظام إسـ ـلامي ، وهو حكمٌ يتصوّر وضع الأقليات ضمنه.
تكون فيه واجبات وحقوق واجبة الأداء لهذه الأقليات، وهناك بعض الفروض التي يجب أن تؤديها هذه الأقليات.
وبعد تشكيل مجلس( أهل الحل والعقد)، تُعرض كل طائفة على حدة، ولا يكون هناك نظام عام واحد، بل يُنظر في وضع كل طائفة وفق الكتاب والسنة، ويُحدَّد موقعها بناءً على ذلك.
وسنؤدي كامل "واجباتهم" وفق ما يترتب علينا في الكتاب والسنة."
