"The war will end, the leaders will shake hands, and the old woman will keep waiting for her son. I do not know who sold our homeland, but I saw who paid the price."
A 22 years old young Kurdish girl is the latest victim of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
Mahsa Amini, her actual name Jina, meaning “life” in Kurdish. Remember her name.
Rest in power, Jina.🌹

this is for my english teacher that made fun of something that i had written in front of the whole class back when i was sixteen and i ended up crying for a whole day.
look, i was on tv reading a poem of mine a few months ago.
A mass funeral (AFP photos) was held today for Sadr supporters who were killed during the clashes in Baghdad ... Sadr ordered their withdrawal hours after these photos were taken and this reminds me of nothing but Mohammed Darwish's poem:
I finished grade 12 four years ago. I got 86.7, the lowest grade among my siblings. I cried the whole night and my dad didn't speak to me for a while.
I finished Medical Analysis as one of the top students, and I am now a reporter.
You matter, your grade doesn't.
I carry your blood in my veins, your eyes on my face and you in my heart.
You let go, it's okay. The pain was too much. It's okay.
Rest easy kak dktor. Rest easy baba gyan.

my heart is with my hometown. my heart is with baghdad. my heart is with the people of baghdad and everyone that is out on the streets.

HRH the Duchess of Edinburgh, Sophie, visited Iraq and the Kurdistan Region to learn of the challenges facing women and girls.
Yesterday I had the great opportunity to converse about GBV and women issues with her - including my work in the field.

Good afternoon, blessing your tl with this cute video of my mom saying a few of the Kurdish words that she knows to my brother followed by 'gu bxo' in Arabic. These few words are words that she heard from our relatives when we first moved here and they stayed in her head.

! Its been a hell of a journey, full of great opportunities and greater people. I am leaving with a new experience gained and a few friends who are family now. Great things are ahead and I need to catch up!
Such a bad choice for a quote to be a headline in a case of sexual assault - so what if the woman knew the man? He sexually violated her and took videos of it. This is what we need to talk about.
The arrest of a number of these so-called “men” is not enough. The public needs to be informed of how will the law deal with them after their arrest. Perpetrators of women attacks/killings are often arrested and then matters are settled tribally behind closed doors.

May 2020 was when Bayal started making totes in my room. We'd spend a whole day designing the bags on the floor and it was a little chaotic but we loved it.
TODAY we officially moved to OUR studio in Hawler!!!!!🥰🥰🥰
Just days after 14 people died in a gas leak exploded in Suli, tonight 4 people have died and over 20 injured in a gas explosion at a students’ dorm in Duhok.

In the loving memory of the man who raised me to be, but did not stay to see me flourish.
My heart has not known peace since you took your last breath a year ago.
Always and forever in my heart.
Hello Twitter fam. With how horrible our lives have been, we need a catch of fresh air. This Friday Bayal will participate in her first bazar at Classic Rock Cafe - Ankawa. Stop by and say hi! You can give me a hug if you saw me crying.
We are excited to see you!💖
In the Middle East, you either get killed by your family for marrying someone you love or you get killed by a man because you rejected him.

We would have celebrated 65 years of you today.
I think of you every moment, speak of you often and miss you every second.
Happy 65 baba. I hope this year treats you well up there.

Three different taxi drivers insisted I don't pay for my ride when they realized I am from Hawler in Suleymaniyah today morning saying "this is how we treat our guests, please don't pay." Simple gestures that are commonly seen in both cities.

“My daughter, 24, and my son’s daughter … I want my daughter.”
With coal-like tears, this mother received the dead body of her daughter and grandchild who were killed in Zakho’s bombardment. Tragic. Absolutely tragic.
We are not tweeting/posting for Trump or Erdogan to see. We are raising awareness, sharing the news of what's happening to our people with the rest of the world. Stop saying that this is useless. It's not. All the demonstrations around the world? How did that spread? Social -
you really think the world is on pause when something tragic happens to you but then you step outside and realize that the world never stopped while you were collapsing
Hawler Medical University students/ College of Pharmacy/Health Science are protesting from inside the campus as Asayish surround the university, blocking the main gate and not allowing students out - a student from the campus tells me.

Do you just look at your mother and realize that she is growing elder and she is losing bits of her energy day by day and it hits you the hardest when you start doing the things she used to do because she can't do them like before? Yeah? Shit hits hard
Kurdish families early Sunday received the bodies of their loved ones who drowned in the English Channel on November 24, marking another tragic morning for Kurds.

Disappointed but not surprised. Kurdistan parliament MP recommends legalizing beating of kids in schools again. Such act makes room for violence to growth, which at some point could lead to killings.
This is the same body that discussed amending GBV law a few days ago.
