Former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein recognized way more Kurdish rights than this, and he personally took some Kurdish learning classes, and wore Kurdish outfit. Yet, Saddam started the Anfal campaign in the beginning in 1980s and gassed the Kurds in 1988.
Stop saying Kurds are an integrated part of Syrian society while you have beseiged a city which is a symbol of Kurdish freedom, and local media has reported five children have already died due to shortage in medicine and severe cold.
My friends in #Syria tell me that #Kobani could be the site of a great slaughter. The forces of Ahmed Al Sharaa have cut off water and electricity to the city. Anti-Kurdish troops surround Kobani. The United States must act! The western powers must act! We must do the righteous thing. We may have less than 24 hours.
Civilians in #Kobane are in desperate need of help. Manteining the cease fire, lifting the blockade and creating immediately an humanitarian corridor has to be the urgent agenda of the many European leaders that visited or received the new ruler of #Syria
This is the struggle of General Mazloum Abdi (Şahin Cilo), following in the footsteps of the leader Masoud Barzani just as Masoud Barzani said one day to the American High Commissioner to Iraq, Paul Bremer, in 2003, when they asked him to hand over the Peshmerga during the settlement period, he said: "Come and dismantle the Peshmerga if you can."
Likewise, General Mazloum Abdi said to Terrorist Al-Julani in front of Thomas Barrack. Their faces turned pale. They offered him the position of Minister of Defense, after canceling all his options for a peaceful solution. He said clearly: "I will return to Rojava. I will return to my people in Rojava. We will declare war to defend ourselves, a general mobilization. I will die with honor, as I was ready to sacrifice and to be martyred in Kobanî. We will return to Rojava, fight with honor, and die with honor. I will not sell my land, my people, or my dignity."
This is how heroes are when they are tested, history tests them
From now on that there is no such thing as the SDF; it is called the Kurdistani Rojava Forces, under the leadership of General Şahin Cilo
To the free people of the world:
Do not forget the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), who defeated ISIS and protected the world from one of the greatest international threats. Today, the SDF and the Kurdish people face acts of genocide by the Damascus government. Stand up, speak out, and do not forget our sacrifices.
@qubadjt I hope you try your best in the KRG government to solve disputes with Iraqi Government about restarting oil exports through Turkish pipeline the soonest.
