Casualties from Iran's attacks:
Bahrain 2
Kuwait 1
Oman 0
Qatar 0
Saudi Arabia 2
UAE 9
Jordan 0
Kurdistan Region of Iraq 25

Kurdish deaths exceed all others combined, yet UN condemns only the Gulf attacks and stays silent on those against the Kurdistan Region.

Why?

Jin, Jiyan, Azadi was born in Kurdistan. Chanted at Jina Amini’s funeral after she was killed by the Islamic Republic. It was a cry against oppression, met with bullets, prisons, and executions. Now the slogan is being used alongside the state flag that killed her and many others. How shameful.

Kurdish Peshmerga helped the world defeat ISIS—now under ballistic missile attack from Iran. Condolences to my Kurdish friends for these losses, and gratitude for our long partnership with Peshmerga across decades.

The attacks against Kurds for celebrating Newroz by Syrian militants affiliated with the Syrian Government - started on march 20th and aggravated by the *Flag event* on March 21st - have claimed its first victim.

Luqman Kamal, succumbed to his wounds this morning.

He’s a Kurd - beaten by a mob of Syrians in Azaz - now dead, resulting from the wounds sustained by these attacks.

Newroz celebration in Istanbul 2026. ☀️
You cannot separate Newroz from the Kurds; there is no joyful Newroz without Kurds, and no Kurds without Newroz. The bond is inseparable. #Newroz2026 #Istanbul #Kurds

palestine is not a “trend”, palestinians are still facing a genocide and are suffering every single day even after a ceasefire.

She was in fact arrested for 10 years for simply speaking Kurdish. Let’s look at some of the anti-Kurdish laws Turkey has imposed and used as punishment:

1- Denial of Kurdish identity (1920s–1980s) where Kurds were officially labelled “Mountain Turks” to deny their ethnic identity and the words “Kurd,” “Kurdistan,” and “Kurdish” were banned in public discourse.

2- A 1924 policy banned Kurdish schools, organisations, and publications, which effectively eliminated formal Kurdish education and cultural life.

3- 1934 Resettlement Law allowed the state to forcibly relocate 100’s of thousands of Kurds which aimed at “Turkification” by dispersing Kurds and increasing Turkish population in Kurdish regions.

4- Language bans (especially 1980–1990s) under Law No. 2932, which meant Kurdish was banned in speech, publications, and daily life after the 1980 military coup. Even private use of Kurdish was restricted and punished.

5- Restrictions on Kurdish names and Kurdish letters like Q, W, X were banned in official names for decades.

6- Ban on Kurdish in media & education and Kurdish broadcasting was illegal until the early 2000s. Even today arrests of journalists, writers and artists is a daily occurrence. Journalists working in Kurdish media have also faced: arrests, prosecution and long prison sentences. Kurdish-language media outlets have frequently been shut down by court orders or emergency decrees and banned/restricted under anti-terror laws.

7- Anti-Terror Law (Law No. 3713, 1991–present); Criticised for broad definitions of terrorism- is used to prosecute Kurdish activists, journalists, and politicians and has enabled mass arrests and suppression of dissent. 100’s of thousands of Kurds, including children are in jail because of this law.

8- Penal Code Article 312 (speech restrictions) is used to prosecute people for speaking about Kurdish right OR for advocating for peace between Kurds and Turks.

9- Ban and closure of pro-Kurdish political parties where multiple Kurdish political parties have been banned or dissolved. At least 944 Kurdish political party members and officials were detained in one wave alone in 2016. 161 of them were formally arrested. Leaders such as Selahattin Demirtaş have been imprisoned for decades. Laws prohibit parties accused of “creating minorities”!

10- Restrictions on Kurdish municipalities where elected Kurdish mayors have been forcibly removed from office by the Turkish government and replaced with state-appointed trustees. Many of these mayors were also arrested or investigated under anti-terror laws, and now serving long jail sentences.

There are many, many instances of massacres, ethnic cleansings, pogroms and more against the Kurds- and this is not including oppression of non-Kurdish minorities!

So when Kurds celebrate Newroz or wear Kurdish colors or speak and sing in Kurdish in occupied Kurdistan across Turkey it is a revolution within a decades long revolutionary struggle for identity, for their humanity, Kurdishness and dignity!

A century of assimilation and oppression. And you failed miserably.

Statement by the Ministry of Peshmerga Affairs

Today, several media outlets and pages published false reports claiming that Peshmerga forces were involved in an attack on a Popular Mobilization Forces (Hashd al-Shaabi) headquarters within the borders of the Saladin Governorate.

We categorically deny these rumours and reports. We affirm that the Peshmerga forces are not involved in the military tensions and conflicts occurring in the region and have not participated in any military operation against any party.

The primary mission of our forces is to maintain security and stability, and we remain committed to coordination and joint work with the Iraqi security forces.

Calling Kurds separatists, anywhere, ignores history. The real separation happened when borders were drawn across our homeland, turning cousins into citizens of different states. Pointing this out is not separatism. It is acknowledging reality.
