Tekoşer û kedkarê Kurdîstana rengîn ber bi rehma Yezdanê Dilovan ve meşîya...
Kak Necmedîn Kerîm!
Bê guman wê keç û xortê Kurdîstanê Ala Rengîn hil bidin li ser Kelha Kerkukê!
Wê rojê êdî tu dikarê çavê xwe bigirê
Birayo!
Rêya te vekirî be
Serê malbata te û Kurdistanîyan sax be.
Saddened to learn about the death of Najmaldin Karim, Peshmerga, former Governor of Kirkuk, friend, and wise counselor over many difficult years. It’s a great loss. Rest In Peace 🙏🏻
"The people of Kirkuk long affirmed that under Karim’s rule, the province had witnessed considerable developments and better public services, with more security and stability, all of which has deteriorated since his ouster." https://t.co/Fjhh3YBK1S
