Where are the UN resolutions for the #Kurds?
Where are the college encampments?
Where are the Hollywood glitterati?
Where are the street protests?
40+ million Kurds live in the Middle East.
They have a distinct identity, proud culture & long history.
But no country.
WHY?
Everywhere else, universities developing curriculums and teaching AI, IT, and real skills for the future. The @Kurdistan Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research big reform? Telling professors not to date students or take bribes. Imagine needing a directive for that.

The history of western abandonment of the iraqi kurds since 1975
◾️1975: The U.S. halted aid to Kurdish rebels after an Iran-Iraq border deal. This sudden abandonment left the Kurds exposed to a brutal Iraqi military crackdown.
◾️1991: Washington encouraged a Kurdish uprising but failed to provide immediate military backup. Saddam Hussein’s forces crushed the revolt, causing a massive, deadly refugee crisis.
◾️2017: Iraqi Kurds voted for independence, and Washington stood by as Baghdad launched a military offensive to retake Kirkuk.
◾️2026; US decides to end military support for Iraqi kurds in Iraqi kurdistan to please the central government in Baghdad and Turkey as it will weaken the peshmerga.
