Look at her face, look closely, and remember it. What you see isn’t merely the face of a fighter bidding a sad farewell to her arm, it’s the face of a dream yet to be realized, of a just cause that never stops believing in #freedom and #equality.

Violent clashes reported in #Idlib, #Syria, between security forces & French-led jihadist 'Firqat al-Ghuraba.' Uzbek fighters have joined their “French migrant brothers” in defense.
This could mark the 1st stage of a larger confrontation btwn Sharaa’s gov. & foreign jihadists.
Mark Savaya, whose qualifications include an extensive background in Insta influencing, MAGA cheerleading, posing for photos with Trump, smoking pot & managing a chain of marijuana dispensaries, was appointed by Trump as the special envoy to #Iraq.
Just the perfect fit for the Iraqi diplomacy!
Only in #Kurdistan #Iraq public employees get their salaries three months late. It's September, and they are receiving June's salaries now.
The oft-touted “Democracy” #Kurdish politicians boasted of since 1991 now faces a serious threat. That doesn't mean the region ever truly enjoyed a democratic system built on pluralism & respect for freedoms. In fact, #Iraqi #Kurdistan has long had an illusory democratic framework.

What’s Happening in Iraqi Kurdistan?
The political scene in Iraqi Kurdistan over the past two weeks can be summed up in three politically significant developments that have dealt heavy blows to the region’s already fragile democratic pro...

منذ نزولهم من الجبل عام 1991 إلى المدينة، أصر الساسة الكرد في #كردستان #العراق ومن ثم أبنائهم، على إغفال العنصر الأكثر جوهرية في العملية الديمقراطية، وهو تهشيم مبدأ الأحادية وبناء فضاء التعدد الاجتماعي السياسي.

ما الذي يحدث في كردستان العراق؟
من الممكن تلخيص الخطوط الأساسية للمشهد السياسي الكردي العراقي في غضون الأسبوعين الماضيين في ثلاثة أحداث ذات دلالات سياسية وجَّهت ضربات إلى العملية الديمقراطية.

During the trial in #Erbil, the capital of #Kurdistan Region where KDP Asayish is in control, plainclothes men attacked Sherwani's family members and MPs, tearing their clothing and insulting them.

Today, journalist Sherwan Sherwani was sentenced in #Erbil to 4.5 additional years in prison for allegedly insulting/ threatening a prison officer. The sentence brazenly exceeds the 2 yr maximum stipulated in article 229 of the 1969 #Iraqi Penal Code under which he was convicted.
طوفان الفيديوهات والصور الذي يخرج من ⁧‫#سوريا_الجديدة‬⁩ سوريا احمد الشرع لا يختلف كثيرا في قسوته وبشاعته وإذلاله للمواطن السوري عن ذلك الطوفان الصوري المرعب الذي كان يخرج من سوريا بشار الاسد.
‏سوريا مستمرة في دوامة العنف و الإذلال لمواطنيها
Now we raid them! So they don't raid us. These are the words of the member of the Supreme Committee for the Preservation of Civil Peace in #Syria blessing the tribes' mobilization and their attack on Suwayda. He says they have taught the enemy a lesson!
Unlike al-Sharaa, Hafez al-Assad & his son understood & recognized the regional implications of the religiously sensitive #Druze issue in #Syria.
2 weeks after the fall of Bashar, Jumblatt & the Druze spiritual leader, visited al-Sharaa who apparently failed to grasp the msg & appreciate the gesture
The intl. community looked away during the Alawite massacre in #Syria. Today, extremely humiliating & disturbing images are pouring out of #Druze areas.
If silence continues & Trump's Rep. keeps praising al-Sharaa, the purge will go on tomorrow claiming another minority.

It hasn’t even been 24 hours since PKK fighters burned their weapons in a peace gesture, and Turkey has already resumed bombing #Iraqi #Kurdistan.

They're constantly pushed by their western allies to abandon their aspirations & fold into whatever regime is in power. This is exactly what is happening now in #Syria! A recurring pattern of wartime partnership, peacetime abandonment. 2-2
When wars rage #Kurds are invited in, praised by Western politicians as 'tough fighters'. They crushed ISIS in #Syria, dismantling its ruthless state. But when wars end & spoils are divided, Kurds always get scraps. 1-2
Unprecedented: In response to #Leman magazine’s cartoon, Salawat was recited in the parliament of century-old secular #Turkey. Mustafa Kemal Atatürk would be turning in his grave.
Last night, drones and Katyusha rockets struck Kirkuk, Baiji in Salahaddin, and Zakho in Duhok. Tonight, two drones targeted Sulaymaniyah #Kurdistan.
The decision to lay down arms & engage in politics is very good, however I absolutely disagree with how the process was handled; the PKK has fulfilled all its commitments by declaring a ceasefire & dissolving, while Turkey continues its military ops in #Iraqi #Kurdistan."
Between July 3 & 10, a group of PKK fighters, 20-30 members, will lay down their arms in a ceremony to be held in Sulaymaniyah #Kurdistan #Iraq. According to Kurdish Rudaw, PKK leader Abdullah Öcalan is expected to issue a new statement in the coming days.

Turkmen in Altun Kupri (Prde)burned tires and blocked the main highway between #Erbil & #Kirkuk today to protest the appointment of a Kurdish municipal director, demanding a more equitable allocation of administrative posts between #Kurds & #Turkmen.
