This may not sound very 2025 at first, but considering that the central #Iraqi government, which actually controls the economy, has failed to achieve even half of what #Kurdistan has managed with its often brutalized budget share, this becomes a significant achievement.

Granting Aden Refineries a license to operate within the Free Zone is a major step toward reviving Aden’s economy and asserting southern economic control. It will boost local revenues, create jobs, and enhance energy security. The move reflects المجلس الانتقالي الجنوبي President

Spot on ~ "The United Nations requires fundemental reforms in order to stay relevant."

Rojava'daki yönetimi korumaktan, artık Türkiye sınırlarının iki yüz kilometre ötesine taşınmış bir savaşta Kürtlerin daha fazla ölmemesini sağlamaktan, yerel yönetimlerdeki kayyum gaspını sona erdirerek yeniden özerk olmaktan, kısacası bugünkü barış sürecine destek vermekten daha

The quotes attributed to Minister Eliyahu to the effect that the government of Israel is “rushing towards Gaza being wiped out,” and that, “we don’t have to be concerned about hunger in the Strip,” do not reflect the policy of Prime Minister Netanyahu and his government. The

President Trump offered the new Syrian regime a new way forward for their country. We’ve got to make sure that they’re living up to their word, and protecting the minorities—the Christians, the Druze, the Alawites, the Kurds. Syria's behavior during the recent surge of

It was a pleasure to once again meet our hero, General Mike Flynn , along with his son Michael Flynn Jr and his girlfriend Defender of the Republic 🇺🇸, at the Gold Institute for International Strategy Conference. Kaity was outstanding, and everything seemed to be perfectly under her control.

Arab media highlights footage of Israeli airdrops delivering humanitarian aid over Gaza. A rare moment covered amid a war with no easy optics.

My interview with Kurdistan 24 English TV on the Iraqi and Syrian Kurdistans: they are the most powerful and well organized non state actors in the Levant. The Kurds in Syria and Iraq won't be disarmed, rather, they will be recognized.

This is what a modern blood libel looks like: A sick child. A hijacked photo. A lie that spreads faster than truth. His name is Osama al-Raqab. He has cystic fibrosis, a serious genetic illness. He’s been in Italy receiving treatment since June 12. Israel enabled his medical

Mullah Mustafa Barzani was not actually a mullah. "Mullah Mustafa" was his given name, in honor of someone who bore the same name. Piran was a Muslim but his deputies were openly atheist nationalists, and Qazi was a member of JK, a strictly secular and secularist, middle-class

While our own country is struggling and many Canadians are unable to make ends meet, this Liberal government is sending millions of hardworking taxpayers’ dollars to a terrorist organization in Gaza. It’s clear the Liberals are putting foreign interests ahead of the well-being

SDG'nin Suriye Savunma Bakanlığı'na entegre olması korku verici bir senaryo değildir. Çünkü: 1. SDG için en büyük fonksiyonel risk meşruiyet dışı kalmasıdır. Entegrasyon bu sorunu çözerek SDG'yi bir sonraki adıma doğru ilerletecektir. 2. Kuzey Doğu Suriye ve Suriye

Uzun süren savaşları doğru zamanda geri çekilmeyi bilenler kazanır. Zira uzayan savaşlar birer kaynak yönetimi problemine dönüşürler. Kaynaklarını kim daha iyi yönetirse hedeflerine o ulaşır. Bu kaynaklar sadece askeri değildir. Diplomatik ve siyasi kaynaklar da dahildir.

Impressive analysis: "#Gaza is now a crisis to solved, not a card to be played [against #Israel]."

Suriye'de ordu dağıtılmıştır, SDG'nin silahlarını "toplayacak" bir ordu yoktur. Yapılan öneri Savunma Bakanlığı bünyesinde yeni bir ordunun kurulması ve bu orduya SDG'nin parçalanmadan [yani bir bütün olarak] katılmasıdır. Bu SDG'nin terhisi değil kurucu entegrasyonu sayılabilir.

"We are not starving a population. We will never starve a population. We will continue to flood Gaza with aid as we conduct a war to destroy Hamas. Period." See what I told Wolf Blitzer on The Situation Room:

It was a major mistake for the Biden Administration to have such a weak position in the Middle East. It's in America's best interest to have a much stronger response to attacks or the threat of attacks, especially in Kurdistan where there are legitimate American interests.

These overly politicized comments about the #Kurds, made only to counter the #Palestinian issue, are more counterproductive than many actually realize. They reduce a potentially strategic #Israel-#Kurds alliance to a simplistic "whataboutism" and acknowledge #Kurdish agency only
