Kurdish politics in the Middle East

The Popular Mobilization Forces factions, which receive their salaries from the Iraqi government, are bombarding the Kurdistan Region of Iraq with dozens of drones, in an Iranian scheme to sow chaos.

Nous, Kurdes, sommes de tout cœur avec les familles des victimes et partageons votre douleur. Les Peshmergas ont versé leur sang aux côtés des Français lors de cet attentat terroriste perpétré par les Forces de mobilisation populaire, fidèles à l'Iran.

Gloire à la France🇲🇫

“If we abandon the Kurds, no one will want to be a US partner force in the future.”
— This has been the warning issued by US military servicemembers, security analysts, and experts for years in Washington. It has been heard countless times in official briefings, Congressional hearings, and government meetings.

I guess Washington is learning now how true that warning really was. The Trump administration seems to be pressuring the Kurds into a new deal to be its hired guns. Many Kurds clearly don’t want it.

“In 1991, the Kurds were encouraged to rise up against the regime of Saddam Hussein, only to be abandoned when priorities changed… More recently, we saw what happened in Northeast Syria, or Rojava. After all the promises that were made, after Syria’s Kurds stood on the front lines of the war against ISIS, we witnessed how they were treated.”
— An unequivocal statement from Ms. Shanaz Ibrahim Ahmed, First Lady of the Republic of Iraq.

The war waged by America and Israel against the Iranian regime is not our concern, and we will not participate in it. The Kurds do not trust the American administration, but we trust the American people, the @USArmy, and Congress.

A new video documents the moment of dealing with a U.S. F-15 pilot who parachuted into Kuwait this morning after her aircraft was hit by friendly fire, during which she was reassured with the words: “You are safe.”

Heavy US bombing targets Iranian Revolutionary Guard headquarters in the Kurdish city of Sinaa in Kurdistan-Iran. Local Kurdish residents react positively to the strikes because of the injustice they suffer under the Iranian regime.

F-15 fighter jet was shot down by friendly fire over Kuwait, and both pilots survived without any injuries. A number of local residents surrounded them, thinking they were Iranians, but once it became clear that they were Americans🇺🇲, they were treated calmly & friendly.

[Mike Pompeo @mikepompeo]

America must act swiftly to rebuild our leverage over al-Sharaa, including by reimposing sanctions to pressure the Syrian government to protect minorities; pull back its campaign against the SDF; and crack down on any resurgence of ISIS.

Time is of the essence.

@Charles_Lister @MazloumAbdi @ElhamAhmadSDC @AsaadHShaibani There is no misleading information. You are trying to make it appear that way in order to highlight weaknesses that don't actually exist.

Some media outlets recently presented this individual as a doctor detained in Al-Hol camp in eastern Al-Hasakah, while a later report by another media channel described him as a civilian. However, earlier footage filmed for Al-Furat Network clearly shows him in military attire among the ranks of ISIS, performing the oath of allegiance to the terrorist organization.
Same person, same face, yet the story changes according to the narrative being promoted.
This contradiction exposes attempts by certain parties to whitewash the image of ISIS terrorists, mislead public opinion, and cover up the crime of their release by the authorities of the Damascus government following their control over these areas.

[Marine Le Pen @MLP_officiel]

Les Kurdes meurent, les Kurdes qui avaient mené courageusement le combat contre les terroristes de l’État islamique sont lâchement abandonnés et la communauté internationale détourne le regard. Que dire d’Emmanuel Macron qui une une fois de plus a tragiquement failli, lui qui avait déroulé précipitamment le tapis rouge au président autoproclamé de Syrie, djihadiste passé par Daesh et Al Qaïda. En accordant un brevet de respectabilité à l’islamisme, le président de la République porte aujourd’hui une lourde responsabilité dans la persécution des minorités en Syrie.
