I am a 30 year old businessman in Hawler (Arbil, north Iraq). I have lived in Europe for almost 15 years, but now I work for a family investment company. Surely I would like to let know you people more, but I want to stay in once peace. I love bloging because it gives me the satisfaction to write about my thoughts.

We should all listen to Kani Xulam

Kani Xulam

There is one Kurdish man that can truly inspire me to write and to think critically about the Kurdish struggle. He is a man that has followed his heart rather than money or power.

Kani Xulam is one of a kind of a man; if our leaders had a third part of his brains I am sure we would’ve had our country free from our enemies. He is a man of common sense, down to earth but yet his articles are challenging your thoughts. I would follow him every where any time.

His latest article about Öcalan and the PKK is brilliant. I never trusted the “pro” PKK supporters or the “anti” PKK friends I had. I was always neutral but I hated the word terrorist to be used on PKK fighters. Still I would like to see our young brothers and sisters from the HPG to return and fight peacefully with political means.

Mr. Kani Xulam dose his homework when he writes articles or delivers speech. The Öclan "leadership" has gone to far now. I agree with Xulam. I don't mean that we should put a end to the PKK and thier struggle for our freedoms but rather change it's leadership structure and maybe adjust their policies to the current global politics.

Now the Apo fans are promoting the Ata Turk ideology as role model for the future Kurdistan. Through out your nationalism my friends and embrace Ata Turks ideology now. They are now saying that Ata Turks policies was “misunderstood” and misused. I don’t want to waste more time on this brainwashed mentality so I just have to say: BS.
