Today, there are 25 to 45 million #Kurdish people scattered around the world, located predominantly in the area between #Syria, #Turkey, #Iran and Iraq, where they’ve been subjected to nearly a century of persecution.

@timkmak

Does Iran have masked federal agents chasing them down in the streets? Are they building concentration camps to detain them in terrible conditions while government authorities lie about why they're being detained? That sounds horrific!

Kako Alyar is living through the busiest time of his life.
He has been travelling constantly, sleeping in airports and often only getting 3 hours of sleep a night. His phone is constantly ringing – the recent record is 120 calls in one day.

Kako has been a member of the Komala Party of #Iranian #Kurdistan since he was 18, a group that has spent decades fighting for #Kurdish self-determination. For the last ten years, he has worked there full-time and currently he is a member of the party’s leadership.

Now, as the war weakens the #Iranian state and reports of the U.S supporting the Kurdish groups #militarily are circulating – the #Kurdish story is at a critical moment: the fall of the regime could be fatal or their making.

@timkmak Rest assured that Turkiye would carpet bomb to wipe any independence off the map.

Due to the division of territory by #European powers after the #Ottoman #Empire collapsed in 1922 – the #Kurdish people have never had their own internationally recognised state.
