The fate of Kurdish youth should not be to die at the hands of their enemies.

NEWROZA GELÊ KURD PÎROZ BE نەورۆزتان پیرۆز بێت HAPPY NEWROZ

Two of my cousins, the brothers Dilsoz and Haqi, were martyred in Deir ez-Zor. They left behind infant children, heartbroken wives, and a grieving mother.

@LindseyGrahamSC: ‘ Today, @SenBlumenthal and I introduced the Save the Kurds Act. I believe that there is strong bipartisan support for the idea of protecting the Kurds in Syria and beyond because they have been such a reliable ally to the United States. The SDF – with a large Kurdish element – took the brunt of the fight to defeat ISIS in President Trump’s first term. I realize Syria is complicated culturally, ethnically and politically. However, attacking the Kurds greatly diminishes the United States’ standing and will hinder Syria’s ability to grow as a country. To those countries or groups who believe it is open season on the Kurds in Syria without consequence, you will be sadly mistaken.’

WHY KOBANÎ AGAIN? Today, on the eleventh anniversary of the liberation of the city of Kobani from the ISIS terrorists, Kobani has returned to the spotlight, and it is now under a severe siege by extremist Islamist groups affiliated with the so-called Syrian Arab Army, led by Abu Mohammad al-Jolani (Ahmad al-Sharaa), head of the jihadist authority in Damascus. Today, Kobani is under siege. Jolani’s groups have cut off water, electricity, internet, fuel, and bread from the city. It is being attacked from three directions (west, south, and east), while the Turkish side is tightening the siege from its side. Every day, children die from the cold, especially as tens of thousands of Kurds who were displaced from Afrin, Aleppo, Tabqa, and Raqqa have gathered in Kobani, and they are subjected to artillery shelling by Damascus’s jihadist groups, as well as by Turkish drones that target civilians and children. But why Kobani? It should be noted that Kobani is a poor area. It has no oil fields, no mines of iron, copper, or gold, no diamonds, no trade routes, and no wealth. It is a poor region, and a large part of it is barren. Therefore, all these attacks on it since 2012 have no logic other than a mentality of revenge. From 2012 until mid-2014, the Free Syrian Army, and then Jabhat al-Nusra, launched intensive attacks on Kobani and imposed a comprehensive siege on it, until ISIS took its turn and launched its brutal assault on 15 September 2014 with the aim of completely exterminating the Kurds. Kobani, against all expectations, a poor and remote small city, managed with only light weapons and limited capabilities to stand up to ISIS, just as it had previously stood up to Jabhat al-Nusra (Jolani’s group), the Free Syrian Army, and other extremist factions. Kobani turned into an icon of resistance through the sacrifices of its people and its Kurdish women and men fighters. Kobani drew international public attention, and the war became a battle between global terrorism and human values in the world. It was a bone-breaking battle to the very end, and in the end, thanks to the courage of the Kurdish fighters (YPG, YPJ, Gerila and Peshmerga), the international rally around Kobani, and the Global Coalition support, Kobani was liberated on this day in 2015. The liberation of Kobani was the beginning of the end of ISIS’s terrorist caliphate. ISIS, and the forces backing it, have not forgotten what Kobani did to them. The extremist terrorist factions have not forgotten it, tens of thousands of ISIS prisoners have not forgotten Kobani, and Jabhat al-Nusra and its leader Jolani have not forgotten Kobani. Today, all those groups have regrouped again, including remnants of the Free Syrian Army, Jabhat al-Nusra, al-Qaeda elements, ISIS elements, and some extremist tribes, to attack Kobani once more in an attempt to take revenge on it. Their main goal is the extermination of everyone in Kobani. If they take control of it, no one will remain alive, especially while the world today applauds Jolani, sprays him with perfume, and gives him money.

The duties of comrades-in-arms “Today, we look to our comrades-in-arms to be loyal and faithful to all our sacrifices and the historic successes which we achieved together. It is the duty of comrades-in-arms not to give up their friends and not to turn their backs on them, but rather to guarantee freedom and protection for them, their families and their land under formal international recognition. Only then will the comrades-in-arms have proven their loyalty, sincerity and justice.” The Defense Post thedefensepost.com/2019/01/11/dut…

It can be said that the German position toward the Kurds has largely been characterized by hostility and by supporting forces hostile to the Kurds over the past two centuries, starting with the participation and leadership of German generals in Ottoman military campaigns against the Kurdish emirates in the mid nineteenth century, and continuing with sustained support for the Turks in suppressing Kurdish movements through weapons, diplomacy, logistical assistance, and operational support, in addition to ongoing pressure on the Kurdish community in Germany. The position of the German government in the war against ISIS and in supporting Kurdish fighters was also passıve and even negative, and there was hardly anything of significance apart from a few symbolic and minimal measures. Since Hayat Tahrir al Sham reached Damascus, the German government has not stopped courting the terrorists controlling Damascus and providing them with diplomatic, media, and legal cover within the European Union. Only days after committing the most horrific crimes against the Kurdish people in the city of Aleppo, the terrorist al Jolani will be a guest in Germany, where they will shake his hands stained with the blood of thousands of Alawites, Druze, Kurds, and civilians in Syria, giving him a new boost of cover and encouragement to commit further crimes and massacres.

الحل الأفضل للمنطقة يكمن في اللامركزية. النماذج المركزية المشددة و خرائط سايكس-بيكو فشلت و تسببت في الكوارث و سفك الدماء و انهيار البلدان و ازدياد الشرخ بين الشعوب المختلفة في المنطقة. سوريا والعراق و ايران و تركيا و ليبيا و السودان و اليمن و غيرها من الدول المركزية بحاجة الى إعادة صياغة أنظمتها وفق رؤى لامركزية يحفظ لجميع المكونات حقوقها وتمثيلها و آليات إدارتها لأنفسها. الاصرار في النماذج الفاشلة هو اصرار على الاستمرار في الحروب و الدمار و التخلف.

@BarhamSalih Congratulations to you dear Dr Berham. I wish you all the best and success in your new position. I believe in you and your abilities to make the world better.

I am honoured to have been elected as the incoming United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees. As a former refugee, I know first-hand how protection and opportunity can change the course of a life. That experience will inform a leadership approach grounded in empathy, pragmatism, and a principled commitment to international law. My foremost responsibility will be to refugees and others forced to flee—upholding their rights and dignity and advancing durable solutions so that displacement remains a temporary situation, not a permanent fate. At a time of record displacement and severe pressure on humanitarian resources, delivering on UNHCR’s mandate requires a renewed focus on impact, accountability, and efficiency. This is a shared responsibility. UNHCR will build on the important reforms undertaken in recent years to strengthen operational effectiveness and value for money. I will work with Member States and partners across the public, private, and philanthropic sectors to mobilize the capacity, resources, and collective will needed to reach those most in need. I am grateful to the Secretary-General, António Guterres, and to the General Assembly for their confidence, and to High Commissioner Filippo Grandi for his principled and tireless leadership during a period of extraordinary global challenge. I look forward to working closely with UNHCR’s dedicated staff, states, partners, host communities, and, most importantly, refugees themselves to advance protection and durable solutions fit for both the promise and the perils of the 21st century.

PÎROZ BE ZAXO, PÎROZ BE KURDISTAN

You cannot defeat jihadism by partnering with ((((former!!!))))) jihadists. That is irony, not strategy.
