Is the newest country in the Middle East a Kurdish territory in northern Syria called ‘Rojava’?
From the frontlines to the refugee camps, Darius Bazargan of ‘Our World’ has gained exclusive access to Rojava, and a revealing snapshot of Syria’s secret revolution.
Out of the chaos of Syria’s civil war, mainly Kurdish leftists have forged an egalitarian, multi-ethnic mini-state run on communal lines.
But with ISIS Jihadists attacking them at every opportunity — especially around the beleaguered city of Kobane, how long can this idealistic social experiment last?
Rojava means ‘West’. It is based on Western Kurdistan. The revolution in Rojava is a part of the Kurdistan movement, which aims at Kurdistan’s self determination,including women’s rights and respect of all other nations, religions, ethnicities and universal human rights with social justices
Kurdish people have been under suppression by all Syrian central regimes since the end of World War One as a main victim of British Policy,similar to other parts of Kurdistan which are under occupation by Turkey, Iran and Iraq.
The lotus emerges from the mud and dirty water. This is possibly the birth of a secular nation among the quagmire of Islamic Middle East.
Kurd is a proud nation like their brothers Baloch peopel. We Baloch people share a same history with kurdish people.We are facing same oppression both from Pakistan and Iran.
I don’t understand why there is not more help given to the Kurds from Western states?
Yes, this is the main question of the whole conflict. Today, extremist terrorism is the biggest threat to us all.
By abandoning Rojawa and the rest of Kurdistan, western politicians are putting the safety of their own people in danger and de-facto betraying their own citizens.
