“From 1979 until now, this has been our only hope — that the regime will fall. I’m watching the clock; if it falls now, I’ll return home the next second,” said a 57yo member of the Iranian Kurdish opposition party living in Kawa, who fled Iran at age 11.

In einer Videobotschaft an die Bonner Newroz-Kundgebung sagte Präsident Masoud Barzani:
„Newroz brennt seit 2.700 Jahren wie ein Feuer im Herzen jedes Kurden.
Über allen Ideologien steht das Bekenntnis zu unseren nationalen Werten und Prinzipien.
Die Welt schaut auf uns. Wenn wir Kurden unsere Einheit bewahren, wird sie unseren gerechten Kampf für nationale und demokratische Rechte unterstützen.
Rojava wurde vor einer großen Katastrophe bewahrt. Von nun an müssen die Rechte des kurdischen Volkes in dieser Region geschützt werden.
Der Friedensprozess in Nordkurdistan sollte unterstützt werden.
Ich glaube, dass auch Rojhilat und Südkurdistan vor diesem sich abzeichnenden Krieg geschützt werden.
Werdet positive Botschafter Kurdistan in der Diaspora! Jede/r Kurde/Kurdin in der Diaspora sollte die Verbindung zur kurdischen Sprache und Kultur aufrechterhalten. Wo immer er sich befindet, sollte er als Repräsentant seiner nationalen Werte auftreten.“

Newroz is not just an ancient celebration for the Kurds, nor simply the arrival of a new year. It is a symbol of victory and resistance against oppression. In Kurdish culture, welcoming the new year with fire and dance is more than tradition, it reflects the enduring flame of struggle and the light that guides our path forward.
Newroz is a renewal of our commitment to resist.
It is a legacy we have grown up with.
Newroz pîroz be✌️🌺

This year, Nowruz, the ancient Zoroastrian festival marking the first day of the solar calendar, and Eid al-Fitr, which marks the end of Ramadan, arrive on the same day. May both festivals bring peace and joy to all who celebrate. Happy Nowruz and happy Akhtar! 🌸🌙

The targeting of journalists by the Israeli army is not a particularly rare or new occurence...@pressfreedom reports that in 2025, 129 journalists were killed with IDF being responsible for 2/3 of those deaths. It just seems to be more shocking when it's a British journalist.

Americans, your tax dollars are being used to target unarmed journalists.

Newroz is a symbol of resistance for the 50+ million Kurds around the globe, a reminder that no matter the oppression, the erasure, or the odds stacked against us, we rise.
Again & again. Every single day.
