During dark days of KDP and PUK misfortunes, A Turkman militia put between both of them like UN Peace Keeping Force.

Probably only when they thought it would be of benefit them

Something about some of them still being paid to cause problems with Barzani and trying to cause splits between Kurdish parties

Lol, you can say the same think about all Kurdish parties

I also think that the gorran are trouble makers

Not sure where to stick this so put it here

In any case tolerance policy is better than hostility. Time changes, old nationalist paranoia has outdated and every one wants to live in peace and coexistence. In Kurdistan simply we can not show hostility to any other minority, who should be protected and enjoy their full rights without any obstruction. This is the only way for Kurdistan to have a future and world, especially Western, support.

I agree that Kurdistan has to work towards national unity

I also think that the different Kurdish factions have to be very wary of trouble makers within their own ranks

Barzani wants an Independent Kurdistan

In the mini referendum held a few years ago something like 98% of Iraqi Kurds voted for an Independent Kurdistan

There are advisers within the Kurdish political structure who myself and others have reason to believe are paid for/and work for the interests of outside countries/bodies that have their own agendas and feel that were Kurdistan to declare Independence it would not serve their interests and thereby are trying to put pressure on Barzani and others to delay such a declaration

We should wait because a better and more favourable conditions are on the way to create an International climate to support and encourage independence of West and South Kurdistan and unification of both.

Western Kurdistan has far too many problems for it to be in any position to unite with South Kurdistan within the near future

Many of the Kurds from Western Kurdistan have been pushed out and many of the Kurds now in Syria are Turkish Kurds

By declaring the small cantons as independent Salih Muslim effectively signed the death warrant of those Kurds living further South than the area covered by the those stupid little cantons

Salih Muslim and his PKK associates are not as well loved by the Syrian Kurds as they would have people believe

The way forward is for South Kurdistan to declare Independence - before Ocalan manages to cause irrevocable damage within the Kurdish community of Turkey - in the hope that a new political party will emerge within Turkey and guide the Kurds there towards independence

was there a better alternative?

If Apo wanted to cause any damage he would have done it by now, he wouldn't have waited to come out from the prison. By the way I heard he had decided to refuse to come out from prison until a fair solution found for North Kurdistan.

YES

It was wrong to divide the Kurdish lands in the north of Syria and leave so many Kurdish towns and farming communities excluded

Western Kurdistan should cover the entire area occupied by the Kurds not just the parts that Salih Muslim and his friends in the PKK thought they could control easily and make money from

A poor Kurdiosh farmer should have the same rights to live in an Independent Western Kurdistan as a Kurd living in a wealthy town or city or those living in oil producing areas

Sadly many surveys ignore the fact that many Kurds inside Syria do not speak Kurdish but Arabic

THIS is a lot of snow – 113cm in north Sweden



For those like me who prefer inches:

3 feet and 8.48819 inches

Whatever way one measures it that is a heck of a lot of snow

[Anthea]

In the south of England this is what we call snow

[Londoner]

A few years ago so much snow fell in London, made you feel you were in North poles.

I was probably up north at the time and missed London in the snow
