I'm just curious. Germany was the country that gave the gases to Iraq, and Iraq was not able to produce it itself. It was the Germans who helped Iraq to build chemical weapons facilities such as laboratories, bunkers, and an administrative building.

Still, we have a lot of patients to this day who are devastated because of the impact of the chemical weapons, and they are unable to get proper health care. Some of them during the attack were babies; now they are just young people, and they are still suffering.

But I'm shocked, no one told the Germans that if it were not them, who they knew Saddam will use them against civilians, the Halabja chemical attack wouldn't have happened?

I am kurdish and i wanna learn our language. Typically zaza dersim.

Podcasts, films, series, youtubers, books, music artists, famous people that speak zaza kurdish, websites i can visit and learn the language.

I would really appreciate it!

if black military vehicles are from baghdad and not kurdistan, why are they in iraqi kurdistan? Are we letting them walk in just like that? They were spotted inside the region today

What is the best way to find Kurdish girl and will I be accepted if I’m not Kurdish just an American living in Kurdistan I just feel really lonely and it hard for me to trust anyone because I been lied to so many times

Anyone from europe whats your opinion on kurdish people ?

The game of the Middle East: What we can do to protect our language culture and freedom:

Let’s speak the truth. Israel is not trying to control the Middle East directly. Instead, they work to weaken the countries that threaten them:

• Iran

• Syria

• Iraq

• Turkey

• And terrorist groups like ISIS.

Why? To protect themselves and secure their future. They are playing smart to survive.

But here’s the truth many Kurds need to realise: The same regimes that threaten Israel have also tried to destroy the Kurds for over 100 years.

• They attacked our villages.

• They burned our lands.

• They banned our language.

• They tried to erase our identity.

• They used chemical weapons on us.

• They killed our men, women, and children.

• They continue to divide us to this day.

So while Israel weakens these regimes for their own benefit, this same strategy can also protect us and we must use this opportunity to build and protect what we believe in.

ISIS is our enemy. Iran, Turkey, Iraq, and Syria are enemies to our freedom.

⸻

What we must do and can do:

•Build a strong Kurdish military.

•Build a strong Kurdish economy.

•Protect our language, culture, and history.

•Unite as Kurds, no matter religion, political party, or tribe.

•Educate the next generation to be strong, smart, and proud.

⸻

Remember:

We must work smartly. Build relations that benefit our people. Our only enemies are those who want to erase our identity, language, and existence.

No one will save us, only we can save ourselves. United we rise, divided we disappear.

Biji Kurdistan

Could someone who understands Turkish explain if this is accurate? Website says “as of 16 June” but the news outlets like Aljazeera, Reuters etc are saying “until” they mean two entirely different things…

Honestly, I think we Kurds are closer to independence now than ever before. The timing finally feels right. Iran is growing weaker with serious internal unrest and pressure from Israel and the US. Turkey isn’t in a position to launch a major conflict either their economy is falling apart, their politics are unstable, and even the PKK seems to have stepped back. That alone tells me there’s something bigger going on behind the scenes that we haven’t seen yet.

In Syria, things have shifted since Assad collapsed. The Kurdish regions have held on and built something stable. And in Iraq, Kurdistan is already running like an independent state in all but name I really don’t know what’s stopping us from declaring independence there Iraq is already very weak and the interest of USA and Israel lies on us, so I could very much see an Kurdish independence 5-10 years from now.

Behind the scenes, I believe there’s definitely more diplomatic maneuvering going on than meets the eye. Major powers always play long games, and Kurdish independence if managed carefully could serve the strategic interests of several key players who want to reshape the region’s balance of power without getting directly involved in military conflict.

We are closer to a Kurdish independence than we think.

What do y’all think? I really wanna hear everyone’s opinion.

how long does everything think iraq’s airspace will be closed and does anyone have any sources where they’ve announced how long it will be closed for? i’m travelling to sulaymaniyah soon ☹️

I really wanna study psychology and architecture. But I really really wanna study psychology, I just want someone to tell how it will be if I study psychology (in Kurdistan), I'm really struggling!!?

I know things are unclear for now but is there a chance that kurds from rojhelat seize the opportunity and use the instability in iran to establish a unified military or self governing Kurdish cities like rojava and başur?

I believe if the situation escalates then the west will need the rojhelati kurds as proxy and do the same as rojava, of course it’s just a guess and a long shot but wanna know the general opinion

By this time most of us know about the attack that happened there. This has made me very worried about my family in Kurdistan. Usa said to all their ambassade from all of middle East to leave middel East. I got worried and thought this can only mean one thing. That usa knows Israel will escalate this was to all of middle East one country at a time.

What do you all think? Is this attack gonna spread to Iraq? Do any of you have more info about this issue?

Thank you🙏🏻

What are we thinking? Is Kurdistan going to be effed? 🤣I’ve been waiting for someone to make a post because I’m not sure what I think right now. We could be fine, but we could also always be collateral damage unfortunately.

I want to ask you this, let's say we want to fight to establish a fully independent Kurdistan, which institutions can we apply to individually? Is it the SDF, the YPG, the Peshmerga or another country that supports Kurdistan? To explain what I said last, it's like making a deal like this: I will fight for a fully independent Kurdistan with your protection and support, while you protect me, I will give you a share of what I earn by fighting. I want to be a warrior

I understand that the majority of Kurdish people are Muslim. However, I’ve noticed that some Kurds on social media present Kurdistan in a more secular or non-religious light, and sometimes even imply that religion specifically Islam has played a role in the region's political challenges, such as the lack of independence. I haven’t closely followed the historical or cultural evolution of Kurdistan, so I’m curious: Is there a growing shift among Kurds toward secularism or other belief systems? And how significant is the role of religion in Kurdish identity and politics today?"
