"As revolutionaries, we don't have the right to say that we're tired of explaining. We must never stop explaining. We also know that when the people understand, they cannot but follow us. In any case, we, the people, have no enemies when it comes to peoples. Our only enemies are the imperialist regimes and organizations." Thomas Sankara, 1985

Kurdish Iranian opposition groups said on March 1st that they have been targeted by drone and missile attacks in the Kurdistan Region of northern Iraq. The attacks took place after the US and Israel carried out strikes on Iran on February 28.

Several other Kurdish opposition groups also said they were targeted. Kurdish Iranian opposition groups have forces in the Kurdistan Region of northern Iraq, and five of the groups recently agreed to form a coalition against the Iranian regime.

In Syria, Bashar al-Assad was deliberately letting the Kurds be, even when they were occupying Syria's oil fields. As soon as US-backed Al-Jolani came in, he starts cutting all the Kurds' heads off.

I don't know at what point the Kurds believe they will have their own state. Maybe once all the countries that potential Kurdistan spans across are ruled by different versions of al-Jolani, and Kurds are getting their heads chopped off everywhere, then they can form the Kurdistan they want in heaven.

At this point I kind of understand why Erdogan finds Kurds so annoying.

I'll look into Al-Jolani, I appreciate the information a lot.

I know more about Turkey's history and they've been oppressing all their minorities, including Kurds, way before Erdogan was around. It definitely doesn't help when the main minority in your country can be used as an US asset though.
