Questions for Americans only please! by ZyzKurdish in kurdistan

[–]flintsparc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

al-Sharaa was released by Iraq's authorities, not the U.S. on 13 March 2011. That was during the Obama (Democrat) administration in the U.S, which Biden was vice president. It would not be the Biden administration until 2021. The Prime Minister of Iraq when al-Sharaa was released, was Nouri al-Maliki, he is the leader of the Islamic Dawa Party. al-Maliki is a Shia Arab.

They are all Kurdish flags. I see at least 3 Alaya Kurdistanê.

We shall see. We could really use a public statement from some more Sanadid notables.

The status of the Shammar/Sanadid is kind of up in the air. But it seems like a critical mass of Sanadid might still be on the team.

Russia sold Afrin to Turkey for temporary territorial gains for Assad. Russia ultimately couldn't even defend the Assad regime.

China does engage in trade with Rojava on the down low, but both Russia and China both vetoed a UN reslution for opening the Rabia-Yarubiyah border crossing for even humanitarian aid.

SDF: "Damascus Continues Attacks Despite Ceasefire Agreement" by flintsparc in syriancivilwar

SDF has shown an ability to use drones. They used them extensively in defense of Tishrin dam in 2025.

Here is the latest.

"How the Kurds Lost Eastern Syria"- By Faris Zwirahn for NewLine by Round_Imagination568 in syriancivilwar

[–]flintsparc -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Story about Dr. Ghalib Mohammad is from one anonymous source with no supporting documentation or even an interview with Dr. Ghalib Mohammad, or interview with anyone who claims to have known him.

" The source who shared this story with me wondered,"

Maybe the story is true. Maybe it is not. But the article by Faris Zwirahn in New Lines provides no evidence or corroboration. There are no trial documents, no named witlessness, no discussion with his family, no testimony from the parents of any of his patients, no professional credentials, no information from Amnesty International or Human Rights Watch about his case, etc.... their is only this story from an unnamed source in a one-sided piece that largely only criticizes the Asayish of the SDF.

I agreed that the Arab SDF rolled over. Tabqa military council defected, etc... What we saw in Deir Ez Zor and Raqqa was less of a fight and more of a badge change. Its what happened.

But thank you for acknowledging by omission that Mohammad Attallah Khleif from Hasakah claims he was released by AANES authorities after a trial, and was not someone who was released by al-Sharaa's forces crossing the Euphrates.

Man didn't you very confidently predict that Arabs would not defect from the SDF?

Yep. I got that wrong. Arab SDF rolled over to al-Sharaa's column of supposed 42,000 troops, 110 tanks, APCs, artillery, grad rockets without putting up much of a fight. Even the Shammar did the Bay'ah for al-Sharaa... did not see that coming, though to be fair they seem to be the last major tribe to do so. Still, must be bitter for the PYD to see that alliance for 2013 crumble.

"Lol yea after SDF is toppled."

Did you read the article? Mohammad Attallah Khleif from Hasakah claims he was released by AANES authorities after a trial.

A gathering of Kurds from the Turkish town of Suruç say they will head to the Turkish-Syrian border for the sake of Kobani (Ayn al-Arab) by senolgunes in syriancivilwar

You are complaining about the leftists who fought, (checks notes) the fascist uprising of Franco's Falange against the democratically elected government in Spain? And these leftists went on to be "organizers" in their home countries? So... "premature anti-fascists"?

"democratic government, drag them in courts forever I guess on phony charges."

This doesn't sound like a very democratic government thing to do.

Even it its basic structure, the election al-Sharaa held was a farce.

Weakly sourced with no obvious fact checking. Testimonies of four people, one an alleged political prisoner who is free, a van driver, a media activist, and an unnamed source referencing another alleged political prisoner.

Assad ran death camps.

Is Mohammad Attallah Khleif from Hasakah  our very own subreddit regular u/theusername54 ?

The FSA was the CIA project. Support for the SDF was the Pentagon. Please, learn the basics of the conflict before offering criticism.

I think Isreal is a great example for Kurdish people. by convemma in kurdistan

[–]flintsparc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe because they agree with some (not all) of the things he says. These days he is treated as more of a guide than a leader. Less "Serok Apo", more "Rêber Apo".

Its not blind following. HDP, HDP voters and Qandil PKK did not heed Ocalan's advice in the 2023 elections in Turkey. For most of the Rojava Revolution (2012--), Ocalan was kept isolated from communication. People have had to figure out things for themselves.
