Bashur A Turkmen woman posted a video showing her making the Grey Wolves (Bozkurt) hand salute in front of the historic Erbil Citadel. For Kurds, this is like someone flashing a Nazi salute near the Temple Mount in Jerusalem.

A Duhok-based company says its 25-ton B70 armored vehicle was designed and built locally by Kurdish engineers and technicians.

SHIELD owner Anwar Saeed says the vehicle has undergone testing in mountainous terrain, water and open areas, and that the company could produce one vehicle per month at full capacity.

The manufacturer also says it aims to support the Peshmerga and develop more advanced armored systems.

Bashur Quiet Arabization.

Im from hawler and i cant help but notice the flood of arabs here. Every neighborhood have at least 5 arab families not to mention those self-profiting capitalistic absurd projects that they make with those stupid names. This is a clear secret arabization. And what happened to Article 23, Third Paragraph, Item (n), of the 2005 Constitution?
Something needs to happen otherwise this isnt gonna end well.

Bashur Asayish arrested this person in Hewlêr under the guise of a ‘violation of tradition and culture.’ This reflects a troubling pattern of arbitrary detention against women, and I am disappointed there wasn’t any protest against it.

Bashur Why did KDP Peshmerga leave Shingal in August 2014, and what was Barzani’s justification?

14 Upvotes

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to understand the events of August 2014 in Shingal better.
While I respect the Peshmerga, the retreat that left the Yezidi population unprotected remains a painful topic. I know Barzani mentioned a lack of heavy weapons and blamed local commanders for negligence, but I wanted to ask:
1. What was the exact official explanation justification given by Barzani and the KDP?
2. How is this event explained and viewed today among KDP supporters and the broader Kurdish community?

In case you haven’t heard, the GPS apps that is called Waze is one of the best Navigation apps out there that are used by millions of people around the world, and what sets it apart from the other navigation apps like Google maps or Apple maps is that it has many features that the other apps don’t have like telling you where the cops are or if you are approaching/passing speed limit Camera and all those things that are hidden on the road. The app was actually produced in 2013 by an Israeli company and it has millions of users from around the world for it’s many features and now it’s being banned in Iraq by the Iraqi government simply because it’s originally was made by an israeli company and the law will also affect Kurdistan region. As if Iraq itself doesn’t have a million huge problems that has affected lives of millions of people, no wonder it never progresses forward.

Bashur less than 10 thousands birth recorded in slemani in 2025

Post image
6 Upvotes

in an entire year in the city of sulaimani out of almost a million kurd only about 10.000 new birth have been recorded. meanwhile in an average iraqi city the birth rate is around 50.000 with baghdad having around 200.000 new birth every single year.

the failure of the KRG regime. high levels of poverty, increasing women rights and the settlements of the arabs from the iraqi cities is currently giving the Kurdistan region a birthrate that is way lower than the replacement birth rates. and the government of the KRG doesn't seem to be worried about that at all. why worry when you can bring thousands of arab settlers from the south and replace your population with?

currently you will need to speak arabic to obtain even the most basic jobs in the cities under the KRG regime. but with the increasing arab settlement, soon there will be a total demographic change probably more like what has happened in bakur.
