2/ Zu befürchten ist vielmehr eine noch schärfere Repression im Inneren und die Fortsetzung seiner Aggressionspolitik nach außen. Die Straße von Hormuz wird zur zusätzlichen Waffe des Iran.

Das Rahmen-Abkommen zwischen den USA und dem Iran löst kein Problem, sondern bedeutet faktisch eine Kapitulation gegenüber dem Iran und ein strategisches Desaster. Das iranische Regime wird dadurch kurzfristig stabilisiert. Ein Regimewechsel findet nicht statt.

حزب کومه‌له کردستان ایران، ضمن محکوم‌کردن شدید قتل حکومتی برادران ویسی، مراتب همدردی و تسلیت خود را به خانواده و بستگان آنان، پیروان آیین یارسان، مردم کرمانشاه و سراسر کردستان ابراز می‌دارد. ما این جنایت را نه رخدادی منفرد بلکه بخشی از سیاست هدفمند، ساختاریافته و دیرینه حاکمیت در سرکوب مردم کردستان، اقلیت‌های آیینی، فعالان مدنی و نیروهای آزادی‌خواه می‌دانیم و نسبت به تشدید این روند هشدار می‌دهیم.

در شرایطی که رژیم در دی‌ماه، در رویارویی با خیزش و اعتراضات مردم، و در اسفندماه، در عرصه جنگ خارجی، با ضربات سنگین مواجه شد، بیم آن می‌رود که ماشین سرکوب و کشتار، برای جبران شکست‌ها و بحران‌های خود، بیش از پیش به خشونت، اعدام، ترور وارعاب روی آورد. از همین‌رو، از مردم آگاه و مقاوم کردستان و سراسر ایران می‌خواهیم در برابر عادی‌سازی اعدام‌ها، قتل‌های حکومتی و جنایاتی از این دست بایستند و اجازه ندهند سرکوب سازمان‌یافته به رویه‌ای بی‌بازگشت بدل شود.

حزب کومه‌له کردستان ایران خواستار پایان سیاست انکار هویتی و تبعیض سیستماتیک علیه مردم کردستان و پیروان آیین یارسان بوده و تأکید می‌کند که سکوت در برابر چنین جنایاتی، راه را برای تکرار و گسترش آن هموار می‌کند. تنها با همبستگی، آگاهی، سازمان‌یافتگی و ایستادگی مشترک می‌توان در برابر ماشین سرکوب جمهوری اسلامی ایستاد و صدای دادخواهی و آزادی را رساتر کرد.

Trump’s “The Kurds Take, Take, Take” Remarks and the Kurdish Question

First, what exactly did the Kurds gain from all these wars and partnerships?

Over the past century, the Kurds have suffered tens of thousands of casualties in wars against terrorism, dictatorship, and the many campaigns launched against them by Saddam Hussein, Iran, Syria, and Turkey. Hundreds of thousands of Kurds have been killed, displaced, imprisoned, or wounded. But what did the Kurds ultimately receive in return? Did they gain freedom? Independence? The right to self-determination?

What kind of support did the Kurds actually receive? Were they given fighter jets, tanks, artillery systems, air defence systems, drones, or meaningful long-term guarantees? NOOOO. In most cases, support was limited to light weapons, ammunition, limited military coordination, and some financial assistance.

What did the Trump administration offer the Kurds during its first and second terms?

In 2017, when more than 90 percent of voters in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq supported independence in a referendum, the Kurdish leadership expected at least political understanding from its Western partners. Instead, Kurdish areas were attacked by Iraqi forces and Iranian-backed groups using American-made weapons, while the United States and the wider international community largely stood aside.

Then, in early 2018, the Trump administration effectively allowed the Turkish invasion of Afrin. Hundreds of thousands of Kurds were displaced from the region following the operation.

In 2019, after direct communication between President Trump and Erdoğan, Turkey launched another military operation against Serê Kaniyê and Grê Spî in Rojava (northeastern Syria). Large parts of the region came under Turkish control after the withdrawal of American protection from the area.

For years, Kurdish forces in Rojava served as the primary partner of the United States and the international coalition in the war against ISIS. Thousands of Kurdish fighters lost their lives in that struggle. Yet many Kurds believe that, once ISIS was territorially defeated, Western priorities changed and Kurdish concerns became secondary.

Today, after all these experiences, Kurdish groups in Rojhilat (Irani Kurdistan) are being accused of disappointing Washington because they refused to enter another dangerous conflict without guarantees regarding their future political status and protection.

But from the KURDISH PERSPECTIVE, this caution is understandable.

The Kurds are not mercenaries. Kurdish blood is not cheap, and the lives of Kurdish youth are not for sale. The Kurds are fighting for their freedom, dignity, and political rights, not to serve the temporary agendas of regional or international powers without any clear outcome for the Kurdish people themselves.

At the same time, the Kurds have repeatedly shown their willingness to cooperate in fighting terrorism, extremism, and instability in the Middle East. Kurdish forces played a central role in the defeat of ISIS and contributed greatly to regional security. But cooperation must be based on mutual respect, clarity, and long-term political understanding.

I do not know the accuracy of the recent claims regarding weapons allegedly sent to protesters inside Iran. If such operations truly existed, then the American side should clearly explain which group, force, or individuals received those weapons. A nation of tens of millions of people should not be collectively accused through vague and unverified statements.

The Kurds do not claim that the American people are enemies of the Kurdish people. Nor is this a rejection of international cooperation. Rather, many Kurds are expressing frustration with repeated political experiences in which Kurdish sacrifices were welcomed during conflict but forgotten once larger geopolitical priorities changed.

For this reason, Kurdish groups in Rojhelat are approaching the current situation with caution. The lessons of recent history remain very fresh, especially after the experiences of Iraqi Kurdistan and Rojava. Any future cooperation must involve clear guarantees, realistic political understandings, and serious consideration for the future and security of the Kurdish people themselves.

Am 4.Mai gedenken wir des Beginns des Genozids in Dersim 1937/38: Bei einer Militäroperation des türkischen Staates unter Kemal Atatürk gegen die kurdisch-alevitische Bevölkerung in der Region Dersim wurden circa 63.000 bis 70.000 Kurden getötet, etwa 15.000 wurden deportiert. /2

2/Viele Kinder wurden in andere Teile der Türkei gebracht und zwangsassimiliert. Die Ereignisse zählen zu den schwersten Massakern des frühen türkischen Staates. Für die kurdischen Aleviten von Dersim ist der Genozid immer noch ein Trauma.

Trois prisonniers politiques condamnés à mort ont été transférés jeudi 10 mai depuis la prison centrale d’Oroumieh vers un lieu inconnu, suscitant de fortes craintes d’exécution imminente. Selon Hengaw, Naser Bakrzadeh, Mehrab Abdollahzadeh et Yaghoub Karimpour, condamnés dans des procès dénoncés comme non équitables, ont été sortis de leur quartier sous prétextes administratifs. L’ONG avertit que ce transfert non conventionnel pourrait annoncer la mise à exécution rapide de leurs peines.

At Least 250 Arrested Amid Ongoing Communication Blackout and Rising Pressures in Rojhelat

Amid continuing widespread communication restrictions in Rojhelat, access to independent and on-the-ground information has been seriously disrupted.

According to incoming reports, the internet shutdown, which has lasted for nearly two months, has significantly limited news coverage, reporting, and analysis, increasing uncertainty about the current situation.

At the same time, local sources report a noticeable rise in layoffs across various sectors, including industrial units and service centers. These developments come as economic instability and fewer job opportunities are putting growing pressure on people’s livelihoods.

On the security side, reports indicate a tightening police presence and an increase in arrests.

At least 250 individuals have been detained in Rojhelat in recent days on security-related charges, including allegations such as “espionage” and “separatism.”

Ongoing communication disruptions, growing economic pressure, and increased security measures have combined to create a tense and complex situation in Rojhelat.

Now is a good time to remind folks Turkey is ethnically cleansing the indigenous Kurds from Afrin and replacing them with Arab settlers. So far, they Turks expelled 200,000 Kurds and imported about 458,000 Arab settlers, including 10,000 Palestinians.

Washington informed the Iraqi government that “the dollar will not flow to Iraq until the shape of the next government is clarified,” adding that, in summary, the U.S. messages stress that “Washington wants an Iraq that is not beholden to Iranian will.”

"Iraq's Iran-aligned terrorist militias continue planning additional attacks against U.S. citizens and U.S.-associated targets throughout Iraq, including in the Iraqi Kurdistan region. Some entities associated with the Iraqi government continue to provide effective political, financial, and operational cover to these terrorist militias."
