Best Background Information and brief history of Kurdistan

[Anthea]

For 18 years the team at Roj Bash Kurdistan has been online, sharing, news, information, Kurdish history and articles of interest

Many members used to contribute to our discussions but sadly, due to fear of reprisals, Kurds and their supporters do not feel secure enough to openly comment on our forum

We are aware that the vast majority of Kurds want a FREE INDEPENDENT KURDISTAN

Kurds have been badly let down, especially in recent months when the HDP supported the Kemalist party in Turkey

Kemalisim = Atatürkism

Ataturk being the Turkish leader behind many genocidal attacks on Kurds

The HDP no longer represents Kurds or Kurdish independence

Among all of the world's conflicts, Kurds once stood out as being the only nation in the world without a country of their own

With the help of the HDP Kurds have lost it's uniqueness and with that much of it's international support

Other peoples have greater needs than Kurds, who thanks to the suppression of the HDP, are told they no longer want independence just a few more rights

This year marks 100 years of the division of Kurdish lands and the genocidal slaughter of MILLIONS of Kurds

Let's give Kurds back their PRIDE and SELF RESPECT

PLEASE share your thoughts and ideas with us

We thank you for taking time to read this

We Stand As Always For:

ONE PEOPLE

ONE FLAG

ONE KURDISTAN

My name is KURDISTAN and I want my country back

Within our vast collection of 15189 topics, we share information on ALL major events in the past 100 years of Kurdish history

Everything we post is entirely free for you, our supporters to share, in the hope that others will learn the truth of our sad history and the manipulation, suppression and genocidal slaughters of our people

In Southern Kurdistan we have the powerful Barzani tribe, the very existence of Kurds is down to this tribe because without them, their strength and unity against almost insurmountable odds, the very word Kurd would have long since vanished

Southern Kurdistan gave hope to Kurds everywhere, but sadly traitors within the PUK and the evil Iraqi government have prevented them from obtaining total independence

In Eastern Kurdistan, where once the Kurdish area was fairly stable and the Kurds were politically active within Iranian government, outside intervention (probably due to US and many other countries ntervention and propaganda) has caused unrest and infighting

In Northern Kurdistan, we all know that Kurds have been suppressed by Kurdish political parties, yet some of the greatest Kurdish heroes were born in Turkish occupied Kurdistan

Kurdish pride in it's many freedom fighters who, for 80 years fought and died for an Independent Kurdistan, has almost been forgotten and their deaths account for nothing as Kurds have spent 20 years being told by HDP and others that they only need a few more rights

Western Kurdistan, where Kurds were once turned into none-people, without the legal rights to land or marriage. Many Kurdish intellectuals were born in Western Kurdistan and they fought politically harder than any other group of Kurds, for an independent Kurdistan, One of their most respected leaders approached Tony Blair in an attempt to declare an Independent Western Kurdistan

Sadly, in recent years, Kurds are being intentionally politically divided in this once proud part of Kurdistan

The Poet
The most powerful Kurdish poem
Who Am I by Cigerxwin

Who Am I?

Who am I, you ask ?
The Kurd of Kurdistan,
a lively volcano,
fire and dynamite
in the face of enemy.
When furious,
I shake the mountains,
the sparks of my anger
are death to my foes.

Who am I ?

I am in the east,
forts and castles
towns and hamlets,
rocks and boulders,
What irony, what a shameful day !
A slave I am now for blood suckers
Yet I saved the Middle East
from the Romans and the crusaders.

Who am I ?

Ask the Near East,
Ask the Middle East,
villages and towns,
plains and deserts.
They were once all mine
when by war and knowledge
I defeated rivals
to become crowned over an empire
stretching to the borders of India.

Who am I ?

I am the proud Kurd,
the enemies' enemy,
the friend of peace-loving ones.
I am of noble race,
not wild as they claim.
My mighty ancestors
were free people.
Like them I want to be free
and that is why I fight
for the enemy won't leave in peace
and I don't want to be forever oppressed.

Who am I ?

I shall free my land
from the tyrants;
from the corrupt Shah and Mollas,
from the Turkish juntas
so we may live free
like other nations,
so my gardens and meadows
are mine again;
So I can join the struggle
for the good of mankind.

Who am I ?

It was I who defeated
Richard the Lionheart
My own blood I shed
to defend these regions.
A thorn I was in my enemies' side;
in my shadow lived the Arabs, Turks and Persian;
many a king held my horse's head.
Yes I am the warrior,
I am Saladin,
the King of Egypt, Syria and Israel.

Who am I ?

I am Ardashir,
I am Noshi Rawan.
In the ancient days
rivals feared my caesars
regretted my animosity.
I knew no fright;
in love with adventure;
from India to Greece
they paid me tribute.

Who am I ?

Yes, I am the Kurd,
the Kurd of Kurdistan
who is poor and oppressed today.
My castles and forts
are now demolished;
my name and my fame'
swindled by my assailants,
those who set germs into my body
to paralize my existence
making a nameless soul of me;
a nation with no friends.

Who am I?

I am the one who despite it all
remains the unyielding Kurd;
still formidable to the enemy.
The smell of dynamite is again in my nostrils
and in my heart the strong desire to erupt.
I am the fighting valiant of mountains
who is not in love with death
but for the sake of life and freedom
he sacrifices himself
so that the land of his ancestors,
the invincible Medes;
his beloved Kurdistan , may become unchained.

Who am I?

One of my ancestors was the Blacksmith Kawa
who slayed Dahak, the notorious tyrant
to break off chains from Kurdish shoulders
and save many heads from the sword and death.
The day his vicious reign ended
was called NEWROZ, the New Day.
When Newroz comes winter departs
taking with it the dark harsh times
to make place for light and warmth.
This is the time, as Zoroaster says,
the evil spirit Ahriman is defeated
at the hand of Ormazd, the god of wisdom and light.

Who am I?

I am the maker of Newroz;
again I shall become my own master,
the ruler of my land
so I may enjoy the fruits of my orchards,
relish the sacred wines of my vineyards
and put an end to a dark era
by seeking salvation in knowledge and science;
I shall make another new day
and breathe the pure air of the liberty.

Who am I?

I am Kordokh, the good old Khaldew;
I am Mitan; Nayri and Sobar;
the son of Lo Lo; Kardok and Kodi;
I am the Mede, the Gosh, Hori and Gudi;
I am the Kurmanc, Kelhor; Lor and Gor;
yes, I have always been and remain the Kurd.
Despite centuries of suppression
in a country by force divided.

Who am I?

I am the son of Lor, Kelhor and Kurmanc
who have lost crown and reign
to become powerless,
betrayed in the name of religion
to carry rosaries in their hands
duped by the rulers,
deprived of might and wealth,
fighting each other, divided and torn
while my oppressed Kurdistan,
my wretched Kurdistan
remains possessed.

Who am I?

The son of the Kurdish nation
awaken from deep sleep,
marching forward,
proud as a lion
wanting the whole world to know;
I shall struggle and continue the path to freedom;
I shall learn from great men,
Like Marx and Lenin.
I make a vow to my ancestors,
to Salar, Shergo and Deysem,
that this of mine will remain vigorous, unyielding, stronger than death.
Let it be kown;
I announce with no fear;
Liberty is my goal;
I shall advance in this path.

Who am I ?

I am not blood thirsty;
no, I adore peace.
Noble were my ancestors;
sincere are my leaders,
We don't ask for war but demand equality
but our enemies are the ones who betray and lie.
Friendship I seek and offer my hands
to all friendy nations.
Long live Kurdistan;
death to the oppressor!!!

Qazi Muhammad

The bravest, most highly respected, Kurdish leader ever



Qazi Muhammad, known as Qazí Mihemed in Kurdish, was born on May 1, 1900, in the city of Mehabad, located in the Mukríyan province of Kurdistan. He was a prominent and revered figure in Kurdish history. He hailed from a privileged background, with his father being Qazi Ali bin Qasim bin Mirza Ahmed and his mother belonging to the esteemed ‘Faidhullah Bag’ clan in the Mukriyan. He grew up in an environment rich in Kurdish heritage, fostering a strong sense of identity and instilling in him a deep appreciation for his cultural roots. Qazi Muhammad received a traditional Kurdish education, which encompassed both religious and secular subjects, laying the foundation for his future endeavours as a leader and advocate for Kurdish rights. However, Qazi Muhammad’s upbringing instilled in him a sense of humility, compassion, and a deep understanding of the suffering endured by his people.

Qazi Muhammad possessed a diverse and extensive knowledge base, which contributed to his esteemed reputation. He excelled in religious studies, acquiring a profound understanding of Sharia law, Islamic jurisprudence, and the principles of his faith. Additionally, he was multilingual, proficient in Arabic, Turkish, Persian, French, basic English, and Russian, in addition to his mother tongue, Kurdish. His charming personality endeared him to those he encountered, and his unwavering commitment to the rights of the Kurdish people fuelled his resolve to fight for their cause.

Despite his privileged background, Qazi Muhammad remained connected to the plight of his people, both in their religious and secular concerns. He recognized the importance of education and cultural development as means to combat the oppression and injustice faced by the Kurds. His empathy for the Kurdish masses allowed him to comprehend their hardships and the sense of alienation prevailing throughout the Kurdish issue. Consequently, he dedicated his time and energy to serving the interests of the Kurds, not just in the Mehabad region, but in all areas where Kurdish communities resided.

During the 1930s, Qazi Muhammad’s connection to the ‘Khyoboun’ party laid the foundation for his future political endeavors. The party, which focused on Kurdish rights and self-determination, attracted Qazi Muhammad and his family’s support. Through this affiliation, he gained valuable insight into the challenges faced by Kurds beyond his immediate surroundings, fueling his commitment to the Kurdish cause. Inspired by Ihsan Nori Pasha’s leadership, the ‘Khyoboun’ party empowered Qazi Muhammad with knowledge and a network of like-minded individuals. This experience positioned him as a prominent figure in the ongoing struggle for Kurdish rights and self-determination in his own community.

Qazi Muhammad’s involvement with the ‘Khyoboun’ party during the 1930s not only broadened his understanding of the Kurdish question, but also deepened his sense of responsibility towards the broader Kurdish community. It laid the foundation for his future political engagements and positioned him as a prominent figure in the ongoing struggle for Kurdish rights and self-determination in greater Kurdistan.

Qazi Muhammad’s involvement in the Kurdish political landscape took a significant turn with his membership in the Komelley Jhyanewey Kurd, or the Kurdish Revival Association, in 1944. This clandestine organization, founded on July 16, 1943, in Mehabad, aimed to rally Kurdish figures from across Kurdistan under a unified cause. Qazi Muhammad’s arrival infused the organization with fresh ideas and perspectives, ultimately leading to its transformation into the Kurdistan Democratic Party in Iran in early 1944.

As one of the party’s founders, Qazi Muhammad played a pivotal role in shaping its vision and objectives. The Kurdistan Democratic Party in Iran set forth ambitious goals, including the pursuit of freedom within the Iranian context, the establishment of autonomy for Kurdistan within the nation’s borders. It also promoted brotherhood and solidarity with non-Persian minorities, such as the Azerbaijani people.

Under Qazi Muhammad’s leadership and influence, the party sought to champion the rights of Kurds in Iran and create a platform for their aspirations. The inclusion of non-Persian minorities in the party’s vision emphasized the importance of unity and shared struggles in the face of oppression and marginalization.

By advocating for freedom, autonomy, and interethnic harmony, the Kurdistan Democratic Party in Iran aimed to address the longstanding grievances of the Kurdish population while fostering a broader sense of equality and inclusivity within Iran’s diverse ethnic landscape.

Qazi Muhammad’s involvement in the founding of the Kurdistan Democratic Party in Iran showcased his visionary leadership and commitment to advancing the Kurdish cause. His contributions were instrumental in consolidating Kurdish political power and organizing a unified front to advocate for the rights and aspirations of the Kurdish people within the framework of a democratic and inclusive Iran.

On December 16, 1945, amidst a large gathering in Mehabad’s ‘Char Chira’ square, Qazi Muhammad made a historic announcement. He declared that the Mukriyan region had severed ties with the Tehran government, leading to the lowering of the Tehran government’s flag in institutions and schools, to be replaced by the flag of Kurdistan. The atmosphere was festive, symbolizing the region’s newfound sense of autonomy and determination.

On January 22, 1946, the establishment of the Republic of Kurdistan was officially proclaimed under the leadership of the Kurdistan Democratic Party. Qazi Muhammad, as an embodiment of hope and resilience, was elected as the first president of the Republic, a momentous occasion celebrated by delegations from across the Kurdish region.

In the capital city of Mehabad, Qazi Muhammad delivered a passionate speech, and for the first time in Kurdish history, the flag of Kurdistan, consisting of red, white, yellow, and green, was raised. The comprehensive struggle program of the Republic was presented, reflecting the legitimate aspirations of the Kurdish people for a state of their own, built on the principles of independence and modernity while respecting the sovereignty of neighbouring countries.

During the short lifespan of the Kurdish Republic, significant strides were made. The Kurdish language was officially recognized and adopted in educational and governmental institutions. Schools were established, and cultural institutions, including the press and theatres, were created. Women actively participated in the new Kurdish life, and economic ties were forged with neighbouring nations.

However, the Republic’s existence was cut short due to Iran’s refusal to negotiate with Qazi Muhammad regarding the Kurdish Republic’s relationship with the central government. Iran, with the support of British and American forces, launched a military campaign that brutally suppressed the democratic movement in Iranian Kurdistan. This resulted in the dismantling of the Kurdish Republic and the reinstatement of Iranian control over Mehabad and its surroundings.

On March 31, 1947, following a mock trial, Qazi Muhammad, along with several Kurdish leaders and militants, met a tragic fate in the ‘Char Chira’ square in Mehabad. They were executed by hanging, marking a dark chapter in Kurdish history.

The memory of Qazi Muhammad’s exemplary leadership and his unwavering dedication to the Kurdish cause endures. His sacrifice and commitment continue to inspire subsequent generations in their ongoing struggle for Kurdish rights and self-determination. Qazi Muhammad’s vision of an independent and prosperous Kurdistan remains a beacon of hope for the Kurdish people, solidifying his place as one of the brightest and most revered figures in Kurdish history.

His father Muhammad Cherif Vanli had migrated to Damascus from the Van region of northeastern Kurdistan long before the fall of Ottoman Empire in 1918. Ismet's mother Xayriya Abdulla Alarrashi was originally from Diyarbaker who had moved with her family to Damascus.

After finishing his primary and secondary school in Arabic and French he moved to Beirut/Lebanon for further education. He studied Civil Engineering for one and half year before he realized that he has his heart on some other subjects.

Vanly moved to Lausanne/Switzerland in late 1948. He met the prominent Kurdish scholar Nouraddin Zaza at Lausanne university. Zaza was a strong factor in enrolling young Vanly at Lausanne university. Vanly successfully finished a bachelor degree in law and become a lawyer. He continued with his education at the University of Geneva where he accomplished a masters degree in History and a doctorate in political science.

His doctoral dissertation focused on the right of the Kurdish nation to self determination and building a Kurdish homeland based on human rights and International laws

With other Kurdish student in diaspora. Ismet established the Kurdish Student Society in Europe KSSE in 1956. Many existing student societies of Iraqi, Turkish and Iranian origin were against a separate Kurdish student societies. They argued that Kurdish interests were already imbedded in their programs.

Nonetheless, Ismet was intent on becoming the voice of the Kurdish nation in Europe. He traveled around the Europe and attended many international conferences as KSSE representative. In 1958 he was elected to represent KSSE at London International Conference (?) where many nations of the worlds were represented.

As a true believer in Kurdish nation's legitimate rights for self-determination he promoted Kurdish political struggle in Europe. Vanly was the spokesman in Europe for General Mostapha Barzani's, from 1962 to 1966, and then 1975 and 1976.

“The Struggle of Iraqi Kurdistan” was based. on his doctoral dissertation, where he argues that the Kurdish nation have the right to determine their own faith.) Vanli believed that many Kurdish movements after 1945 have lost the real will of Kurdish nation for a free and independent homeland

Apo Osman Sabri

About his life and struggle:

The fighter Osman Sabri was born on October 5, 1905, in the village of Naranji in the Kehti district of Adiyaman State in Northern Kurdistan, the son of Sabri Agha, the leader of the Merdisa clan.

He entered the Rashidiye school at the age of seven and graduated from it in 1920. He then returned to his village and his uncle Shukri Agha was the head of the clan after his father's death. He married early and his first wife gave birth to three children, and soon she died with two of her children. The third was killed at the age of forty-seven. His age and his name was Walat, married Osman again and had three sons (Hoshang, Hoshin, Haval) and two daughters (Hankur, Hevi) and adopted his niece (Koye) in 1925-1926, he participated with his uncles Shukri and Nori in the revolution of Sheikh Saeed Piran, and they were arrested and his uncle executed as for him, he remained in prison until 1928, when he was released under a general amnesty.

Osman Sabri struggled to raise the level of social and political awareness of his people by joining parties, gatherings, and clubs. He contributed to the Khyoboun Organization, which was founded in the late twenties by the Badrakhanis, Mamdouh Salim, Qadri Jamil Pasha, Mustafa Bozan Shahin Bag, and other traditional Kurdish leaders, and the struggle coordination between the Khyoboun organization and the Akri Dagh revolution.

He contributed to the establishment of the Kurdistan Club in Damascus in 1938 and contributed to the founding of the first organized Kurdish party in Syria under the name of the Kurdistan Democratic Party Syria in 1957 with Dr. Khalil Muhammad, Muhammad Ali Khoja, Abdel Hamid Darwish, Hamza Nuweran, Shawkat Naasan Rashid Hamo, and Dr. Noraddin Zaza as the party’s head.

He retired from political work in 1969, and was content with cultural work and teaching the Kurdish language, publishing articles, research, and poems in the magazines Hawar, Ronahi, Roja Nu, and Ster.

Among the cultural and sports clubs that he contributed to founding:

1- Salahuddin Cultural and Sports Club in 1938 in Damascus.
2- Kurdistan Club in 1942 in Damascus.
3- Hanano Club in 1949 in Damascus.
4- Al-Jazira Club in 1954 in Damascus.

Osman has written several books, including:

1- The Storm - Damascus 1956.
2- Our pain - Damascus 1957.
3- Latin Kurdish Alphabet - Damascus 1955.
4- The Four Heroes - Damascus 1984.
5- Apo poems (a collection of poetry published in Germany in 1981).

Osman Sabri was arrested 18 times, the periods varying between days, months, and years due to his tireless national struggle and his resistance to the regimes that persecute the Kurdish people. He was arrested twice in Iraq in 1930-1931, and twice in Lebanon in 1935, and from Lebanon, he was exiled to the island of Madagascar in the same year. In Syria, his arrest was repeated 12 times, most notably five months during the reign of Hosni al-Za’im, nine months in Aleppo in 1959, six months in Mazzeh prison in late 1966, and finally a year and a half in al-Qalaa prison in 1971.

On the eleventh of October, 1993 in the village of Berkfri, in the Derbasiya area, Osman Sabri passed away, leaving an immortal struggle and cultural legacy that he immortalized as a flag of the Kurdish liberation struggle

https://www.arknews.net/en/node/39291

Always referred to as the fighter, probably because he never gave up. Osman Sabri was nicknamed APO by the people out of the love the Kurdish population had for this great man, such was this love and admiration that many children were named after him

Welcome back

We have been overhauled, I hope the games are working

We are MORE determined than ever to spread Kurdish history and the victimization and countless genocidal attacks on our people

During our 18 years we have amassed an unequal amount of knowledge within our topics and posts, try our internal search engine

Our 18 years of knowledge and experience has proved to us that the vast majority of Kurds want an independent Kurdistan

Kurds are a proud people who deserve a country of their own. During the past 30 years, a large number countries have gained their independence, many of them have smaller land masses than Kurdistan

We are disgusted that during this, the 100 year of the theft and forced separation of Kurdish lands there has been NO political uprising NO major protests

My 27,000 Posts

My 27,000 posts started and will continue with a single desire

UNITED - INDEPENDENT - KURDISTAN

The team behind RBK believe strongly in Kurdish Independence and support all the often forgotten leaders and wonderful people who have dedicated their entire lives to this cause

We share our love for all things Kurdish along with many little known historical facts

Kurdish history needs be be shared by Kurds and non-Kurds

Kurds living in all parts of Kurdistan should proudly announce to the world, who they are and where they are from

Northern Kurdistan

Southern Kurdistan

Eastern Kurdistan

Western Kurdistan

Surprising as it may seem ONLY Kurds read Kurdish so to share any information with the rest of the world and obtain international support we strongly recommend the use of English

I remember years ago in London, on many occasions thousands of Kurds marched for freedom, shouting out in Turkish

The protest outside the Greek Embassy where only one person sat in the pub sharing information with the press. I even remember the names of the few people from the thousands of protesters, who could speak enough English to communicate with the press,

How many Kurds are aware that the Greek Embassy protest was also a unifying protest where many Kurds from all parts of Kurdistan gathered and the protest organizer was from Southern Kurdistan

Kurds have moved on over the years:

In the UK Kurds have learnt English
Kurdish children born here are going to university

But, shamefully, Kurds whose parents come from Turkey are taught Turkish from birth

To ALL Kurds everywhere, we ask you to share something about your culture with any non Kurdish friends and neighbors you might have, perhaps invite neighbor into your home for a Kurdish meal or take a box of Kurdish food to their homes, share a DVD of traditional Kurdish music, or the translation of a romantic Kurdish poem, show photos of the beautiful Kurdish countryside, share your love and pride in KURDISTAN

What is Kurdistan - This is Kurdistan

All Credit Goes to KURDISH HERITAGE Who Produced this Wonderful Video

I spent the past two years gathering videos capturing all parts of Kurdistan in order to create this film. This was a very time consuming project, for good quality videos shot in Kurdistan are not easy to come by.

This carefully put together film consists of fragments selected from over one thousand videos, some short and some very lengthy, shot in at least eight different languages and in four different countries. For these reasons, imperfections should be expected – I am not a professional editor by any means and I was solely responsible for this entire project.

With this film, I hope to introduce Kurdistan, the native homeland of the ancient Kurdish Nation, to the best of my abilities. Kurdistan is 'Ground Zero of History', for it was here where mankind first cultivated land, domesticated animals, built cities, invented the written language, and worshiped Gods.

Indeed, it was also here where the Prophet Abraham first saw light, where the Garden of Eden and the Hanging Gardens of Babylon are believed to have been, and where the Ark of Noah landed. These lands have given rise to villains and heroes, kings and queens, prophets and apostates, and poets and musicians since the dawn of history. And the Kurds, first attested as 'Gutians' during the Era of Akkad, have called these lands their home for over 5,000 years.

Kurdistan exists. This is Kurdistan.
