Hüseyin Kenan Aydın was a hero. May he rest.

For decades, Fazila Muhammad returned to Nugra Salman to mourn the family she lost during Anfal. In 2024, beside her brother’s exposed grave, she heard the words that changed everything: “Ajjaj is still alive.” ✍️ Renwar Najm www.theamargi.com/posts/the-da...

I bought several copies of Pary Babans brilliant book the day it came out. It is such an authentic & unapologetic love letter to the creativity & beauty of traditional Kurdish food. It made me weep. My mother approves of her recipes. Buy it! The Qubuli raash recipe will change your life!

Ein Nachruf auf Salih Muslim. substack.com/home/post/p-...

In honor of Salih Muslim, a hero from a city of heros and one of Kobanês most beloved sons. We resist by remembering who we are. We resist by keeping our culture alive. We resist by honoring those who came before us and those we have lost. m.youtube.com/watch?v=CFUe...

A tremendous tremendous loss. Salih Muslim spent his life fighting for the Kurdish cause and in particular for his hometown of Kobanê.

The virtuosity and bravery of Rojhilati Kurds is legendary. m.youtube.com/watch?v=guX2...

Kurdish singer Yalda Abbasi has been imprisoned in Iran. Her only crime is making music in Kurdish. Her child is a year and a half. hengaw.net/en/news/2026...

In the tradition of Kurds facing all hardships by making music & writing poetry, huge amounts of new music is being released lately about Rojava & Rojhilat. It offers a beautiful & welcome respite. Despite this, I keep coming back to this song by Rafiq Chalak. m.youtube.com/watch?v=j0pg...

Exhausting to live in a world where we have to argue that fascism is evil. That Al-Qaida & ISIS / DAESH are evil. That indigenous women are the best stewards of their on land & people. That the young women of YPJ fighting for their freedom are heroes. How is this still up for debate??

I'll never stop talking about Kurdistan All indigenous people deserve to live on their ancestral land w freedom & dignity The sides are clear Islamists are kidnapping girls & killing whole families for being Kurdish Rojava is the future YPJ is the future m.youtube.com/watch?v=2Efm...

The amount of music coming out of & made about Rojava in the last week is so moving to me. If you attack our culture, we will only strengthen it. If you kill protesters, more of us will take to the streets. If you try to harm our women, we will uplift their struggle m.youtube.com/watch?v=4BhC...

(Prev post deleted, bad info on my part!) Bluesky have banned YPJ's AND Rojavakommittéerna's accounts. The women of YPJ r the reason ISIS is not currently running rampant over most of the ME & Bluesky responds by blocking them from telling the world what is going on IN THE MIDDLE OF A GENOCIDE!

Imagine hating us and we're just sitting here making music. Me & my parents keep saying the same thing lately. Being Kurdish is painful. But we would never want to be anything else. Her Bijî Berxwedana Rojava & Rojhilat

"You cut the hair of one woman, we will braid a thousand braids for the Kurds of Rojava" My mother kept my hair braided my entire childhood. Our resistance is beautiful.

More info on the significance of braids in Kurdish culture An Isis mercenary cutting of a Kurdish woman's braid is not a random act of terror They are trying to destroy our culture And for Yazidi people ESPECIALLY the braids have deep spiritual meaning Video courtesy of soz98word @ Insta

"After a mercenary cut off the braid from a YPJ fighter, braiding hair becomes a symbol of resistance." The most defiant feminist act I've ever seen. There's 5000 Daesh militants in that prison. YPJ are our pride & joy & the sharpest of thorns in the side of those who wish to enslave our girls

The defiance of Kobani. A city in Rojava of martyrs and heroes. We are still here and we are not going anywhere. We will laugh and dance, men and women together, and we will win. The fundamentalists have never beaten us and they won't succeed this time either.

Emergency aid for Rojava! - Humanitarian aid for the victims of the war of aggression waged by jihadist militias against Rojava. Heyva Sor a Kurdistanê is launching an urgent humanitarian campaign in response to the escalating attacks on Rojava. 👉 linktr.ee/heyvasor

Our elders have survived things that would make the islamists and their collaborators crumble into dust. Translation; The parents of two martyred Kurdish freedom fighters have called on the Kurdish people and freedom fighters to support the resistance in Western/Rojava Kurdistan.

I think about this scene from Reservation Dogs so often but especially in the last few weeks. They have never managed to strip us of our humanity or our love for each other and that, more than anything, makes me so proud to be Kurdish. RIP Graham Greene

In many Kurdish faiths, esp in Yazidism, braiding ones hair is sacred. How often have we seen fundamentalist occupiers take such trophies from indigenous people?
