First day in office and the newly installed governor of Kirkuk is already marginalising the Kurdish people in Kirkuk.

He had previously been detained during the 2022 Women, Life, Freedom protests.
During Newroz in 2026, a Kurd in Kobane took down the Flag of Syria.
In reaction to this, STG fanatics launched a nation wide manhunt against Kurds - justified by many Syrians, especially in the online-space.

We are looking at 2 similar events, the Kurdish event and the much more severe arab event - but the Syrian people are reacting to these events very differently..
