@qubadjt@ukinerbil If independent civil society exists, why did a politically connected NGO receive the FCDO funding? Was the process open, competitive and fair?

The Kurds are NOT of Iranic origin!
This claim has been debunked multiple times, and every genetic study confirms this. Instead, evidence shows that “…the ancestors of the Kurds trace back to the Halaf Culture (6000BC) and the Hurrians (3000BC)

The Conquests of Khan Ahmad Khan Ardalan ☀️ (1605–1632 AD)
• conquest of Mukriyan & the defeat of the Bilbas federation
• capture of Mosul & establishing it as his capital
• conquest of Kirkuk & Baghdad.
• declaration of an independent state & minting of his own currency
Three elements dominate Kurdish Newroz: fire, the Kawa vs. Zuhak myth, and Mir Newroz (Prince of Newroz). These rituals trace directly back to the Sumerian New Year festival, Zagmuk (𒍠𒈬).

Ottomans: Newroz is blessed and victorious. 1920s Nationalists: Ban it. Post-2000: Claim it as "Turkish."
Yet, Ottoman texts from 400+ years ago identify Jamshid—the founder of Newroz—as the father of Malik al-Kurd (King of the Kurds).
Stop the falsification of history! #Newroz
