[Rudaw English @RudawEnglish]

A loud explosion was heard in Erbil, believed to be a drone strike.

A Rudaw reporter witnessed damage caused to 120-meter road near the airport.

#DefendRojava

[raaayan ❄️ @RayanSwar]

Borders separated our lands, not our pain.
If you see me awake, it’s because my people are not safe.
And a Kurdish heart does not sleep while another is breaking.

#Rojava

[raaayan ❄️ @RayanSwar]

I am a Kurd in Bashur,
and sleep feels like a betrayal tonight.
How can my eyes close
when Kurds in Rojava are counting explosions instead of hours?
How can I rest
when mothers are holding fear instead of their children?

#Breaking | Syria's Ministry of Religious Endowment ordered mosques across the country to celebrate (by screaming Allahu Akbar) the Damascus forces' push into Kurdish areas.

ISIS didn't disappear in Syria, it only transformed from one form to another.

[The New Region @thenewregion]

People in the Kurdistan Region’s capital Erbil headed towards the US Consulate General compound late Monday to protest intense attacks by the Syrian Arab Army and Damascus-linked factions on Kurdish-led forces in northern Syria, concurrent with the SDF calling on Kurds across all four Kurdish areas of Syria, Iraq, Iran, and Turkey to “unite” and “join the resistance”

[David Harris @DavidHarrisNY]

#Kurds continue to be targeted by Syrian regime.

Where's the UN?

Where are world leaders?

Where are "human rights" groups?

Where's the media?

Where are street protests?

Where are campus encampments?

Where's New York's mayor?

Oops, I forgot. It can't be blamed on #Israel.

AKP MP Arslan Tatar praised President Masoud Barzani: "We saw Kurdishness in you since childhood and grew up with your dreams."

[Dr. Abdulrahman Hamdi @AbdHamdi73]

Whoever stands behind this attack is targeting the #Kurdistan Region’s 24-hour electricity supply and seeking to undermine the #KRG’s progress.
Those who have long failed to deliver services and light to their own areas are now demonstrating their capability only in disruption, not development.

بە توندترین شێوە سەرکۆنەی هێرشی ترسنۆکانەی ئەمشەو بۆ سەر کێڵگەی گازی کۆرمۆر دەکەم و داوا لە حکومەتی فیدراڵی دەکەم تاوانباران بدۆزێتەوە و ڕووبەڕووی دادگایان بکاتەوە.

Kurdistan Foundation and Salahaddin University signed an MoU to enhance academic collaboration, internships, and volunteer engagement through JOBS KRD and Volunteer KRD, both operating under the Kurdistan Foundation umbrella.

Today, I inspected progress on the 22km Gomaspan-Smaquly road, which will help better connect Erbil and Slemani governorates. It has created 3,000 jobs and it will finish later this year.

Highlights from the opening ceremony of the first #VolunteerKRD Club in Duhok.

This new club is a vibrant space for volunteers and youth to connect, learn, and collaborate on initiatives that contribute to the growth and development of the #Kurdistan Region.

[Kurdistan Foundation @KrdFoundation]

A delegation from the Kurdistan Foundation visited the Consulate General of the Republic of #Korea in #Erbil to explore avenues for joint initiatives and strategic cooperation.
The delegation met with Consul General Seungcheol Lim and his team to discuss collaborative projects.

Good morning world:
Syria is without Assad.

[Rudaw English @RudawEnglish]

#BREAKING: Syrian rebels enter Damascus, announce the collapse of President Bashar al-Assad's regime.

- Oct 7 offered a break from focus on Syria internally but situation never improved…obviously, weakened Hezbollah helped. And here we are

[raaayan ❄️ @RayanSwar]

- Meanwhile armed rebels got more organized, support continued to Idlib via Turkey and funding continued from many sympathizers. Sanctions also kept squeeze on regime (Caesar Act)
