Omar Sindi, Washington — Exclusive to iKurd.net

Your amalgamated essay’s contents on March 20, 2015; is more tilted toward anti- Kurds liberation movements in general then perilous corruptions. “As of late we‘ve been hearing a lot about the possibility of creating a new Kurdistan by expanding the “de facto” Iraqi Kurdistan into other people’s nations, namely Syria and Turkey (both being equally demonized in the press).”This introduction on the top of your narrative; is disingenuous and bias content shows the orchestrated well organized, bunch of menace of writers and including many pundits in political “Think Tanks” with scoff views prism to erode international fount support for the Kurdish people.

When your narrative indicating that the “de facto Iraqi Kurdistan into other people’s nations.” This is a rue persuasive argument and that is a politically charged statement; this sneakily realpolitik can be detected, reading between the lines, one is trying to make a vile project of a rue moral argument against the Kurds’ right to a home land. Kurds not seeking to transgress into other people’s land; in fact it is antithetical parallelism, these occupying forces have disavowal of Kurds peaceful solutions.

Since the recorded history can remember, a defined people (Kurds) with a language and a culture all their own, living in a geographically coherent area. The colossal scathe of “March 1916; Sykes- Picot Agreement”, the project of arbitral divisions of Kurdistan disregarded Kurdish people as a nation states to exist. The newly drawn border didn’t match to the people on the ground. Ever since their rights, their freedom, their liberty, their self- expressions, including their existences, many forms internationally forbidden weapons, including not limited to, the Kurds gassed with chemical weapons, the list goes on… that were denied by occupying governmental apparatus policies that were/are in charge in Kurdistan, the Kurds must speak up for their future with respect to others ;there are anecdotal evidences that Kurds have offered dialogue many times to a peaceful solutions to unprecedented catastrophic problems in this part of world, but the other sides who absolutely refuse any comprehensive solutions, only morph on the lip service.

These autocrats’ behaviors reminds me an old adage : “ who would be so naïve as to rush to the aid of a wolf howling for help and decrying the cruelty of its tormentors while its chops are still gory with the blood of the lambs it has devoured? The only answer to such trickery is to re-assert the basic truths which the very gate of hell cannot shut out”-(People Without A Country). One should wonder and baffle, if these state actor’s egocentric captains prism misdirecting ships, if weighing cost and benefit these perpetual transgressions; not to mention blood treasure of these young people dying in vain.

However, the strains and aspirations that these differences gave rise to neither disappeared nor were condensed when cracks started to appear in these countries; first by slowly weaken strong men Dictator Saddam Hussein and Assad dynasty; because fraudulent justice will be contested.

In the United States Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson famously said: “we hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable Rights that among these are Life, Liberty and pursuit of Happiness.” This well-known speech was written over 200 years ago; the world of today is into first decade and half of 21 first centuries, no peace is on the horizon, and over 40 million Kurds have yet to test what the iconic man-Jefferson defended.

Today, the autonomous regions of Kurdistan Iraq and self- declared Rojava-Syria are facing nihilistic ISIS/ISIL-Arabic acrimony name “Daesh” war, while the same time people living among the Kurds- Arabs, Christians, Turkmen along with many other ethnic minorities, and they have the leadership rule in the both autonomous regions. Your narrative yet to mention any accolade accomplishment that the Kurds attentions of positive spin toward the other minorities living among them.

However, the holistic complexities of Kurdish issues and their effect in the Middle East are beyond the scope of this narrative: not having Kurdish State, it has been, and it will be for the future generations a time bomb for the entire Middle East economically and politically. The Kurdish people‘s right must be obvious to everybody; a defined people with a language and a culture all their own, living in a geographically coherent area.

The over 40 million Kurds had nothing to do, nor invited, or participated in the decision making at the end of World War I. British and French imperial powers, being the main beneficiary of the Middle East‘s division, at that time, divided their lands and properties amongst four entities. States were artificially built on the Kurdish land; ordinary people woke up in the middle of night to their villages and their cities dissected, fenced off and separated. People could no longer visit their families or kin, forced to dwell on the other side of the imposed fence.

Under the ruthless Ba’athist regime, both dictators Ahmad Hasan al-Bakr and Saddam Hussein, that the “Algiers’ Agreement” resulted in a colossal effect on the Kurdish liberation – movements’ defeat. Saddam Hussein pursued a chauvinistic policy of Arabization, wanting to change both the ethnographic and demographic makeup of Kurdistan – Iraq. The abhorrence of international irrational views, at that time the Ba’athist regime didn’t hide its agenda of wanting to eliminate the Kurdish people and nation from existence in Iraq. In this fraught period, both Iraq and Syria is facing ethnic cleansing.

According Media outlets, the United Nations is accusing both sides, Shia‘s militia and the ISIS terrorist group, of possible war crime atrocities. The only relative peaceful area in Iraq and in Syria these days is the Kurdish area. The Kurdish Regional Government (KRG) is suddenly faced with enormous tasks at hand including economic pressures, millions of refugees, and its forces confronting terrorist ISIS/ISIS forces. Because the bolstered hegemony influences of the reactionary movement and its effect in the Middle East on the international stage politics, the tolerance of the Kurdish people toward other minorities and assistance to the refugees is not credited as it should have been.

My response to the written an article on March 20th, 2015; must and shall not be considered a defense to, any harm to the Kurds de jure; however, the written skullduggery project in defense of chaotic to chaotic status of the reactionary governments in the Middle East “essay” via Scott Creighton-Willymloman; it’s conspicuously clear one is trying to taint, Kurds aspiration enshrouded under of corruptions scandal.
