PhD in international studies. Author of Identity and Nation in Iraq (2013); and Politicisation of Islam (2005). I have published widely in English and Kurdish.
In response to a question about the source of weapons for the Iraqi militia, the guest states that they come from China. In fact, the weapons Americans rather.
targeting the Kurdistan president’s home has no justification. we urge advancing the proposal by #LindseyGraham, the Save the Kurds Act, within the #USCongress, and prioritizing its passage from a proposal into binding law to ensure protection of Kurds.

Some contend that, amid ongoing warfare, the people of #Iran should mobilize to overthrow the regime; this is highly implausible. Populations do not rise under missile bombardment. Yet the prospects for popular uprising in the aftermath of war are considerable. However

As a Kurd whose homeland has been occupied whose people have endured subjugation, it is natural that I would welcome hearing something like this from Trump. if I find it difficult to place my trust in him, it is far more difficult to extend that trust to Iranian leaders.#IranWar
When will the West realise #Erdogan's intention for a #Sunni neo #Ottoman Empire that encircles #Israel, takes the Middle East further down the path of extremism, & threatens #Europe? https://t.co/tcROzBGg4a
في حدث استثنائي ستعقد اليوم حوالي الساعة العاشرة ليلاً في مبنى الكونغرس الأمريكي جلسة خاصة بحضور عدد كبير من أعضاء الكونغرس وأصحاب القرار في أمريكا وبتنظيم من دروز نكسس ودروز غلوبال والناشط والمؤثر الأمريكي تيم بالارد، الجلسة تسعى لكسب تأييد البرلمان بالاعتراف بوقوع مجزرة من قبل القوات الحكومية السورية بحق الدروز في المقام الأول، بالإضافة للمطالبة بحق تقرير المصير ولضم الدروز لمشروع حماية الكرد، وسيكون هناك أيضاً كلمة مسجلة للشيخ موفق طريف في اللقاء.
ويبدو أن المعطيات تشير إلى جدية من الكونغرس في التعامل مع هذا الملف ويعود جزء كبير من الفضل في هذا للجهود الجبارة التي يبذلها أبناء جاليتنا في أمريكا.. هذا الحدث بشكل أو بآخر سيكون مرتبطاً بجلسات الاستماع التي تمت يوم أمس في الكونغرس والتي ركزت على القضية الكردية ويؤدي لزيادة الضغط على صناع القرار في أمريكا...
الراصد
Watching the deteriorating situation in Syria with great concern. The Kurds are under threat from the new Syrian government that is aligned with Turkey.
It would be a disaster for America’s reputation and national security interests to abandon the Kurds, who were the chief ally in destroying the ISIS caliphate.
Therefore, I will be introducing legislation this week designed to impose crippling sanctions on any government or group engaged in hostilities against the Kurds. The Save the Kurds Act, I believe, will receive strong bipartisan support and must have teeth to make it effective.
Stay tuned.
