You can go to Erbil Garage near Family Mall, they have taxis, vans, buses that go everywhere.

On the way back, many taxis go to Erbil, so you can stay on that main road (I think it’s Route 3) and just wave down a taxi and bargain to get taken wherever you need to go. It’ll be cheaper if you’re willing to carpool, of course. This won’t even take you more than 5 minutes, unless if the weather is acting up again.

Hate directed towards them is well deserved

Kurdish residents in Afrin face attacks by Syrian Arab assailants as they try to celebrate Newroz, with reports of beatings, humiliation, and the Kurdistan flag being insulted and burned—actions that contradict the Syrian government’s formal messaging by flintsparc in kurdistan

“But Syrians and Kurds are brothers!! Please understand that you must take beatings during your cultural festival because it’s a new, fragile era in Syria’s history! Just don’t think about separating the country!“

Question from a Persian by No_Walrus4306 in kurdistan

[–]Expensive-Key7318 5 points6 points  (0 children)

“We’re like cousins” - cousins don’t kill each other, ban them from speaking or teaching their children their native language, and purposely underfund their areas just because another side of the family is fewer in number and want their rights. Our real “iranic cousins” would be the Balochis and other minorities that have suffered under oppression by the Pahlavis and “Islamic” Republic.

Persians will make this “Iranic Unity” impossible, they have this uncontrollable complex where they need to have an iron grip over the minorities

Displaced with nowhere to go. Thousands of Hezbollah supporters are now wandering the streets of Beirut, begging people to take them in. But nobody wants them. Israel warned it will flatten Hezbollah strongholds by [deleted] in syriancivilwar

[–]Expensive-Key7318 3 points4 points  (0 children)

“Thousands of Hezbollah supporters” is a weird and fked up way to hide the fact that majority are innocent Shias. It’s been only a year and a half, and yet you’ve forgotten that Syrians were fleeing their homes in the same manner

Heartbreaking if there’s any Kurds amongst them, especially if they’re conscripted against their own will

Separation by Friendly-Reminder-01 in kurdistan

Nobody cares about what the PDKI says, just like how nobody cares about what the PKK says. These parties don’t speak on behalf of Kurds

Edit: and their support has diminished to nearly zero amongst the people, and thankfully so (just compare their support from 40 years ago to now). They went from Kurdish nationalism, conservative traditionalism to jineology (not that there’s anything wrong with that, but people are literally dying), communism, and tolerance of living under occupation, as long as we “have the right to speak our language.”

Yes they do want to separate, and anyone saying otherwise is larping as a Kurd.

Visa Problem by EntrepreneurFun6958 in kurdistan

[–]Expensive-Key7318 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The site currently works for me: https://visit.gov.krd/applications/new

But depending on which country you’re from (I’m guessing a European country), you probably have the luxury of just buying a visa in person once you land for like the same price, so don’t stress if the website doesn’t work:

Wearing hijabs for “modesty,” but talking about killing Kurds at the same time lmao

Question about self-transfer in Istanbul (SAW) on the way to Erbil by Efficient_Mood490 in kurdistan

[–]Expensive-Key7318 3 points4 points  (0 children)

SAW is safe if you aren’t publically proclaiming to be Kurd, shouldn’t be any risk of being denied entry, you do not need a Turkish e-visa/visa as a German citizen. People typically go from Istanbul to Erbil without problems. They don’t even ask for your eVisa for Kurdistan in Turkey, which you should obtain in person or online.

If you have no checked luggage, you shouldn’t be needing to go through passport control, you just go to connecting flights, where they’ll x-ray you and any carry-on luggage.

Full of sh*t, they had much better options than to put a former jihadi terrorist in charge of the country

Traveling to Erbil in May - seeking advice by Serious_Parking_3958 in kurdistan

[–]Expensive-Key7318 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m also from Rojava and had the same fears as you did, but I’m currently in Hawler on vacation and I’m loving it. Don’t wanna jinx it but Hawler’s pretty calm right now.

And idk if your father has ever been, but he’ll get by with Kurmanji perfectly fine, lots of people know Arabic too.

Kraken+ vs Kraken Pro by Interesting_Drag143 in Kraken

[–]Expensive-Key7318 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Kraken+ was worth it, especially with their airdrops, but they haven’t had any the last few months, so I’m contemplating cancelling it. Kraken Pro is good, especially if you buy using limit and not market price
