This is not just a video:
This video, dance, and song are a powerful protest against the patriarchy that Kurdish women have long been fighting.
Here are some of the most striking elements:
First, we see the Kurdish women breaking free from the burka, boldly stepping forward in their traditional Kurdish attire, which has been suppressed for centuries by Islamic dress codes since the spread of Islam invaded everywhere.
Next, they dance on a graveyard, symbolizing the lives Kurds have sacrificed in the fight against Islamist oppression. Kurds have a saying: "Kurdistan is the graveyard of fascists," emphasizing that tyrants have invaded their homes, attempting to erase their culture and identity, yet never succeeding in stopping their struggle for freedom.
In their vibrant clothing, they don't just dance - they play instruments, shout their freedom with conviction, and perform their fight as daughters, women, mothers, and sisters. Their dance reflects how, after every battle and victory, they wash the darkness from their faces, braid each other's hair, grasp each other's hands with determination, and continue their Kurdish dance - a powerful symbol of their resilience and unity.
Today’s narrative: Kurds with sci‑fi weapons, say the ever‑honest CIA‑Mossad crowd. Anything to pull the Kurds back into the next war, after stabbing them in the back in the last.
@MOSSADil According to which reports? And why are all these reports not mentioning which forces/ parties/ Kurds? Are you all just in this desperate need to make genocide on Kurds happening?

Mojtaba Veisi’s young daughter holds her father’s photo and cries after he and his brother, Meysam Veisi, were killed during an IRGC raid in Dalahu, Kermanshah, on May 28, 2026.
Meysam Veisi and Mojtaba Veisi, two prominent cultural activists and adherents of the Yarsan faith, were killed in the early hours of Thursday, May 28, 2026, when forces of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) carried out an armed raid on their hideout in the village of Qaleh Kahush, located in Dalahu County. According to reports, IRGC forces opened fire during the operation, resulting in the deaths of both brothers.
The UK rep for Syria is about to fuck off back to Doha. She oversaw the single bloodiest two‑day civilian massacre since 2011. More civilians were executed in 48 hours by the new Salafi‑jihadi Syrian security forces than on any single day by any faction, including ISIS. 1/3
Tom Barrack, Donald Trump’s ambassador to Turkey and envoy to Syria, has now had his brief formally expanded to include Iraq.
He has managed something rare in the Middle East. Turks, Kurds, Arabs and Persians, who agree on very little, seem to agree that he is not to be trusted. A common dislike for a diplomat this strong has not been seen for decades.
Surely, everyone hears something different in his remarks.
Kurds hear abandonment after years of fighting Islamic State alongside the United States. Arabs hear the old colonial officer, especially after his remarks to Lebanese journalists. Turks hear Sèvres, Sykes-Picot and the familiar fear that outside powers are once again trying to redraw the region from above.
But Barrack is only part of the story.
The larger question concerns the domestic structures his worldview flatters. In Turkey, the quarrel over Barrack has collided with a deeper argument inside the opposition over devlet aklı, raison d’etre, reason of state, the deep state, and the future of the CHP, at a moment when the courts are being used to reshape the country’s main opposition party from within.
I also write about three important points regarding the Kurdish process in Turkey, all of which I discussed in my recent interview with Amargi: Bahçeli’s latest roadmap, Erdoğan’s calculated distance from the process, and why the attack on the CHP should change how we read the Kurdish question today. https://t.co/ljjBoZFhNA
@soheycollins@PahlaviComms@NoorPahlavi Because my people have resisted the regime since day one, and want democracy. And no I am not MEK. Stop all this nonsense labels for everyone who won’t support your daddy.

I had the honor of speaking with Nobel Peace Prize laureate Maria Corina Machado during the Oslo Freedom Forum. I told her I hope one day Iran’s brave women and political prisoners including Nobel laureate #NargesMohammadi will walk free and take the stage to tell their own stories.

“In Kurdish, Jino / Jina means “A new life”. My father had to fight for my name.”
This is 1:1 my story too - just like countless Kurdish fathers who fought for their children’s right to carry a Kurdish name. Because for Kurds, our names are more than names. They are identity, memory, poetry and resistance.
