A verse in great Kurdish poets,Cigerxwin, Kîne Em (Who Are We?) still valid 50 years after it was written :
We are no blood-letters
we are seekers of peace
Noble commanders
heroes through and through
It is not war we crave,
but equality we demand

Happy 250th, America!
I miss you every day, my adovtive motherland!
Despite everything your going thru right now, you're still the greatest on earth. #America
Today, as every day, we remember Diogo Jota and André Silva, who tragically passed away one year ago.
Through immeasurable loss and incalculable pain, the impact they made and the legacies they left behind - not only within the footballing world, but in the hearts and minds of so many around the world - has shone through over the last 12 months.
All of our love, support, thoughts and prayers continue to be with Diogo and André's families, friends and all those whose lives were touched by them.
Forever in our hearts, forever our number 20 ❤️
I have been watching the WC since I was 5. It's a beautiful experience and want every fan to enjoy every moment of this WC.
I just hope one day Kurdish kids get to experience what they're experiencing right now. Their own team, anthem, dance, and WC. That day will come!
The World Cup is the celebration of culture, pride, and identity.
48 nations this year with countries that have population of less than half a million.
And 40+ million Kurds watching Kurdish players wave flags and sing anthems for Iraq, Iran, Turkey & Germany.

The Western governments that preach self-determination, democracy, and minority rights...
Vetoed Kurdish independence in 2017.
Armed the states that suppress(ed) Kurdish identity.
Regional neighbors the same shit. We are their friends until we ask for the same rights as they have
Another example of the Trump administration’s managerial dysfunction and disregard for institutions or process. It was clear Barrack wasn’t really going anywhere and hadn’t lost support, but this is the third try at getting a message across/handling a fairly simple process.
Turning childhood imagination into present-day reality 🇮🇶
Inspired by hometown sports and dreams, Iraqi designer, Ali Jasim, conveys that nothing is out of reach.
@AmerBIZ@NezoHA I remember following this even though I did not understand it. This was very well done. This, and of course, Viva Kurdistan. Way ahead of its time!
A truck crashed into more than 30 cars in Kirkuk, causing a major traffic disaster that left 6 people dead and 12 others injured, according to initial reports. The truck driver also died in the incident.
Horrific.
Don't want to jump to conclusions but road safety and regulations need major overhaul across Kurdistan Region and Iraq. Lorries and freight trucks need more regulation in terms of road worthiness, safety, hours work, etc.
