A few hours ago, I had an interview with @bbcpersian regarding the atrocities against the Druze in Suweida, Syria. I highlighted that, first, we should remember that the HTS is composed of diverse groups and factions, often with divergent approaches to different issues.1/

A fascinating article by Natasha Walter, who traveled to Rojava to finds answers for some of her questions. From the text: “Writers cannot work without freedom. […] Even in the West, writers aren’t always free. We must fight for freedom everywhere.” www.theguardian.com/world/2025/f...

Would probably be better of her to just say that the EU is providing €1 billion for Erdogan to wipe out the Kurds from their homeland. Anything to send the Syrian refugees back home, huh?

No, when ethics replaces politics it’s not hard, it’s too easy. Moralism gives clear answers just because the questions are wrong.

During the Peloponnesian War (431–404 BCE) between Athens and Sparta, the Athenians decided to conquer Melos, an island located in the Aegean Sea, in 416 BCE. The Melians were a colony of the Spartans but had remained neutral during the war. However, the Athenians decided to lay siege to Melos👇

Defending #Rojava is both politically and morally essential. The Kurds in Rojava were the forces that led the war against ISIS, a threat to human dignity on an international scale. The Kurds not only liberated the Kurdish region in Syria but also sacrificed many young lives in Raqqa, the👇🧵

Today marks the fall of another dictator in the Middle East. The Syrian state, particularly the Ba’ath regime, has suppressed non-Arab, non-Shia communities since the late 1940s. For example, in 1962, 120,000 Kurds were stripped of their citizenship, a number that grew to 300,000 by 2010. 🧵👇

The Turkish anti-Kurdish policy is beyond imagination. In 2018, the Kurds in Afrin were forced by Turkish-backed jihadist militias to abandon their lives, homes, and lands and resettle elsewhere. Many of these people sought refuge in Tal Rifaat, but now, once again, they are being forced to👇
