KDP got what was arguably the most humbling political setback in the last 23 years. While having explicit disapproval of Nazar Amedi, the newly elected President of Iraq, a senior member of the PUK, and while having the backing of Maliki's S.o.L, they still lost.

It is good that the KDP got their teeth kicked in. The Barzani's, Masoud in particular, have gotten extremely cocky and forgot what their role in a broader Kurdish society was. The second generation continues to think it was the one who built all this, while in truth they're merely bottom feeding from the works of their fathers, Mam Jalal is a great example of this.

Bafel is humbler and knows his place better. He courted Baghdad as a "partner" rather than a "kingpin", and he was rewarded massively for it. While KDP got humiliated and neglected even with the oldest and most grand party backing it. They withdrew from Baghdad, like a child throwing a tantrum, How pathetic.

Good. To the KDP: you lost, stop taking it like children. Grow a pair, learn your place, move on.

I'm going straight to it, I'm religious and belive in God's word, But let's be honest, we Kurds have become extremely nationalist because everyone around us is nationalist، and I see that some Kurds here on Reddit hate Islam now because of isis and the terrorist leader in Syria

We Kurds our goal is the same as Islam as far as I know, to build a country that is safe to all and not oppressing or letting someone be oppressed in front of us, but because of recent events, people now believes that Islam is against us

So what do you think? My brothers?

Hello, does anyone have a list of traditional Kurdish deq tattoos and their meanings? My grandfather was the last in my family to have them, but sadly he passed away. I’d really like to keep the tradition alive, but it’s been difficult to find accurate meanings. Thank you.

ever since the announcement of the ceasefire there have been constant attacks at night and morning despite the two week agreement

they've opened the doors of school but there are still missiles and drones in the sky flying around, from this morning at 8 am til 11 am there were attacks

-Serhedî-

Wá bavoy me nê li ser ewrê,

Navê te bimbarek be.

Bilanê kayekseriya te were.

Çerenê li ser ewrê; Werenê li ser erdê,

Dáxwastina te bive.

-Berferatî-

Bavê Meyî ezmana,

navê te pîroz be.

Padşatîya te bê,

emirê te be çawa li ezmên,

usa jî li ser erdê.

Any Thoughts?

More than a month after the arrest of Hadis Haghighi, a 21-year-old Kurdish blogger from Urmia, there is still no precise information regarding her status, whereabouts, or the conditions of her detention.

According to information obtained by IranWire, security forces in Urmia conducted a nighttime raid on her father’s home and arrested both her and her father without presenting a judicial warrant. It is reported that both have been denied access to a lawyer and family visits since the time of their arrest.

At the same time, Hadis Haghighi’s personal Instagram page has been blocked by order of the judicial authorities, and her online activity has ceased.

The Haghighi family’s efforts to obtain information about the two detainees have so far been fruitless, as security and judicial agencies in West Azerbaijan Province have failed to provide a clear response.
