Much of what we perceive today as “Kurdish history” was shaped by colonial academic institutions that helped legitimise the borders imposed after the First World War.
Kurdistan was divided and effectively erased from the map, and the history subsequently written about the Kurds came to reflect—and often reinforce—those imposed divisions and erasure.
To understand how this shaped the way Kurdish history has been studied and understood, watch the full debate in Kurdish here: https://t.co/kMiv1GkPni

Factions aligned with Damascus committed a crime against Kurdish residents in the east of Kobani city.
5 civilians have been killed by shelling one of the civilian house, 5 were wounded as well.
Those groups and ISIS share the same mentality to target the Kurds.
If Damascus is truly confident, the central government should hold a referendum in the Kurdish cities from Afrin to Qamishlo. Let the people decide whether the SDF and the local self-administration should govern their areas.

Ils nous ont aidés à combattre les islamistes, Daech comme Al-Qaïda.
Et aujourd’hui, nous les livrons aux islamistes qu’ils combattaient pour nous.
Les combattants kurdes de la liberté, face aux djihadistes, sont contraints de se rendre au nom de « l’unité de la Syrie ».
Cette Syrie « unifiée » sera une république islamiste.
Soyez-en fiers, dirigeants occidentaux.le Qatar et la Turquie ainsi que l’Arabie saoudite vous disent merci.
Mais croyez-moi : attendez-vous au pire.
SUÇ İŞLİYORSUNUZ !
İster saçını örer isterse kökünden keser kişinin bedeni kendisine aittir
Bu bir tür kendini ifade şeklidir örgütlü örgütsüz bunu yapma hakkı vardır
İfade özgürlüğü dediğimiz şey tam da budur
Soruşturma açmak ve benzeri girişimlerde bulunmak anayasaya ve yasalara karşı suç işlemektir
Bundan derhal vazgeçin.
بيان بشأن خروقات اتفاق وقف إطلاق النار في منطقتي الجزيرة وكوباني – 26 كانون الثاني
على الرغم من دخول اتفاقية وقف إطلاق النار حيّز التنفيذ مساء يوم أمس، تواصل فصائل دمشق ارتكاب انتهاكات خطيرة ومتكررة بحق المناطق الآهلة بالسكان في إقليمي الجزيرة وكوباني، في خرق واضح وصريح لبنود الاتفاق وتهديد مباشر لأمن المدنيين واستقرار المنطقة.
ففي تمام الساعة العاشرة صباحاً، شنت فصائل دمشق هجوماً بالمدرعات على محور بلدة الجلبية جنوب شرقي كوباني، حيث تم إفشال الهجوم.
ومنذ الساعة الثانية عشرة ظهراً وحتى لحظة إعداد هذا البيان، تتواصل هجمات تلك الفصائل على محور الريف الغربي لكوباني، مستهدفةً قرى زرِك والقاسمية.
وفي تمام الساعة السادسة مساءً، قصفت مدفعية الفصائل قرية القاسمية، ما أدى إلى استشهاد طفل وإصابة ثلاثة آخرين من أفراد العائلة نفسها.
كما قامت فصائل دمشق في تمام الساعة السابعة والنصف مساءً بشن هجوم باستخدام ثلاث طائرات انتحارية على قرية "قري" التابعة لمدينة كركي لكي، ما أسفر عن أضرار مادية.
وفي تمام الساعة العاشرة وأربعين دقيقة مساءً، استهدفت تلك الفصائل قرية الصفا في ريف جل آغا/الجوادية، مخلفةً أضراراً مادية.
وحتى لحظة إعداد هذا البيان، لا تزال تلك الفصائل تواصل هجماتها على محاور جنوب وغرب كوباني، في استمرارٍ واضح لانتهاك اتفاق وقف إطلاق النار وتصعيد خطير يعرّض حياة المدنيين للخطر.
خلال تلك الهجمات أُصيب أربعة من مقاتلينا بجروح، إضافة إلى استشهاد طفل وإصابة ثلاثة آخرين من نفس العائلة.
ندعو الأطراف الضامنة لاتفاق وقف إطلاق النار إلى تحمل مسؤولياتهم الكاملة في وضع حدٍّ لهذه الخروقات، وإلزام فصائل دمشق بالالتزام الكامل بالاتفاق، وضمان حماية المدنيين دون أي تأخير أو تهاون.

Nous ne devons pas lâcher les Kurdes du Rojava !
Le soutien hypocrite des occidentaux quand les Kurdes étaient en première ligne contre Daesh s'est transformé en indifférence aujourd'hui qu'ils ne sont plus utiles à leurs intérêts
Le Rojava et Kobane ne doivent pas tomber !
I Curdi sono stati la vera forza politica e militare che ha sconfitto ISIS fra l’Iraq e la Siria insieme alla Coalizione Globale contro il terrorismo. In questi anni nel nord dell’Iraq e nel nord della Siria sono riusciti a creare una società libera, tollerante, democratica e amica dell’Occidente. Ora in Rojava l’esercito dell’ex Al Qaeda, ed oggi presidente della Siria Al Jolani, ha dichiarato una guerra a tutto campo alle SDF, la coalizione fra curdi e altre minoranze. #Kobane è nuovamente sotto assedio nel silenzio della comunità internazionale e i curdi rischiano di essere spazzati via da terre che popolano da sempre. Come ha dichiarato il Gen.Mazloum Abdi Kobane (nella foto l'ho incontrato in Rojava due anni fa): chi condivide i nostri stessi valori di libertà e democrazia è il momento che faccia sentire forte la sua voce.
Non abbandoniamo i Curdi! #Kurdistan #Rojava
@jacobin We had a big demonstration for Rojava today. Non of the Dutch-socialist movements were there. Shame on all of them, they rather stand with jihadis and are silent when it comes to Kurds.
The Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces played a key role in defeating ISIS.
Now they are again forced to fight for their survival, as former jihadist Ahmed al-Sharaa’s transitional government seeks to crush Syria’s minorities.https://t.co/dm4QllGWNE
Ahmed Al-Sharaa is proving himself a terrorist rather than the noble leader of #Syria. He is attacking the Syrian #Kurds and remaining quiet while #Kurdish#women are enslaved. The US and the world must intervene!
🗣️ “The coalition forces have done nothing for us. We worked together for so many years against Islamic State, but they haven’t offered us any support... They betrayed us.”
Having been forsaken by coalition allies, thousands of Kurdish combatants are in fast retreat from government forces in the Syrian desert ⬇️

The images coming out of Syria’s Kurdish regions make your blood run cold. And Europe’s silence is deafening.
The Kurds were the West’s most reliable partners in Syria and they share many of our values. They made enormous sacrifices and did the West’s “dirty work” in the fight against ISIS. Now is the moment when they need our support. We must not abandon them in this dark hour.
If al-Sharaa genuinely wanted the SDF to integrate and not simply force them into submission, then:
· Why did Damascus not invite any SDF / AANES officials to the "National Dialogue" in February?
· Why did al-Sharaa promote sanctioned warlords notorious for their abuses against Kurds as commanders?
· Why did al-Sharaa launch an offensive against Kurdish neighborhoods in Aleppo, although they had signed the Aleppo Agreement?
· Why did Damascus exclude large parts of the Northeast and Suwayda from the so-called “elections” in October?
· Also in October, the SDF sent a list of names of their members who could serve in the Ministry of Defense in Damascus, as part of integration talks. But Damascus reportedly never responded. Why?
These are genuine questions. #Syria #SDF #Rojava

These developments in Syria have been troubling to follow. Key allies in the fight against terrorism have been thrown to the wolves.
From betraying NATO allies who helped us win the Cold War and fought alongside us in Afghanistan, to leaving behind the fighters who helped us defeat ISIS—Trump is showing again and again that he's a bad friend. This Administration must answer for its reckless foreign policy.

Avoir soutenu l’installation au pouvoir d’Ahmed al-Sharaa, ancien chef d'Al-Qaïda, en Syrie était une grave faute politique.
Accepter de lui sacrifier les Kurdes qui nous ont tant aidé dans la lutte contre Daech comme est en train de le faire Trump et réagir à peine comme le font les autres dirigeants occidentaux est une ignominie.
Avec tout totalitarisme, la transaction est une erreur majeure.
The violence in north-east Syria must stop.
Lives are being lost & communities torn apart. I’ve pressed Ministers for urgent action - raising this in Parliament & writing to the Foreign Secretary - as Kurdish communities and other minorities face grave risk.
Action is needed now
