#CNN is publishing "Everyone is watching to see whether #Kurdish fighters will launch a ground offensive into Western #Iran"
Kurdish academic and poet #HawzhinAzeez, former co-director of #TheKurdishCenterofStudies answers
"Who are we? Let me tell you, #America! We are the #Kurds you betrayed in #Rojava, north-east #Syria, your anti-#ISIS coalition partners. You sold us to #Turkey in 2018, which annexed our Kurdish city of #Afrin for allied jihadist factions. Then again in 2019, when our cities of #SereKaniye and #GireSpi were handed over to Turkey for “security concerns,” even though not a single bullet from Rojava had been fired toward Turkey. And once more in 2026, when you handed us over to the former ISIS and #alQaeda Syrian regime under the extreme hardliner #alJolani. Thousands of us were massacred, ethnically cleansed, hunted street by street. Our women fighters were beheaded, their braids cut as war trophies by jihadist men.
We are the Kurds you betrayed in #Basur, northern #Iraq, who held a popular referendum in 2017, winning by 97% to separate from Iraq, a country that had ethnically cleansed and murdered us for years, only for our freedom to be denied. The Iraqi central government, encouraged by your condemnation of our referendum, attacked us and forcibly took over our Kurdish city of #Kirkuk.
