The Demise of
the American Empire and The Kurds

Los Angeles, USA November 4th, 2019
Recent American troops pull out of Syrian Kurdish region (Rojava) by an order from President Trump and granting green light to Turkey to send in Turkish troops to slaughter the Kurdish population is illegal, immoral and inhumane. It is back stabbing and betrayal of the most reliable ally by the United States.
President Trumps knew exactly what the consequences would be, mass killing of Kurdish civilians and the destruction of Rojava's infrastructure, creation of refugees by hundreds of thousands (so far 275,000 refugees and hundreds dead), a new generation of orphans, resurgence of ISIS, more than 800 ISIS members have escaped prisons held by Kurds and opened by Turkish bombing. Turkish invasion can engulf the region in an endless and unpredictable war.
When asked Donald Trump why a sudden pull out American troops and
leaving the Kurdish people without protection, the most reliable
American and Western ally, his response was: "Well they (Kurds) didn't
help us in Normandy, they didn't help the United States in WWII"... this
statement indicates the President's lack of understanding of politics,
geography and history.

New York - Ali Barada
The UN expert on human rights in Iran has said in a report that US sanctions reimposed on the country in 2018 have hit oil sales and caused the devaluation of its currency.
"The negative impact of the reimposition of economic sanctions" by Washington has been "felt strongly by ordinary Iranians," Javaid Rehman said in his report to the General Assembly circulated Friday.
"The sanctions have hit oil sales, imposed wide-ranging restrictions on traders and businesses and triggered the devaluation of the Iranian currency," he said.
"All these factors have contributed to raising the scale of austerity and pushing inflation higher. Rising levels of unemployment and poverty have also adversely affected the rights to health and education and access to other basic services for millions of Iranians," he stated.

Academics, intellectuals demand forces in Rojhelat to unite against aggression of the Iranian state
09/21/2018
On September 8, 2018, the armed forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran launched multiple missile attacks on the offices and residential compounds of Kurdistan Democratic Party of Iran (KDPI) and Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) in Koya, deep inside the federal region of Iraqi Kurdistan in blatant breach of international law. These attacks lead to the significant number of death and injury among these parties' members and civilians residing in the compound.
On the same day, Iranian regime executed three Kurdish political
prisoners, Ramin Hossein Panahi, Loqman Moradi and Zanyar Moradi. The
executions took place despite multiple calls by international human
rights organisations to halt the executions and address serious
procedural flaws in the detention and trial of the three individuals.

Nikki Haley, U.S. Permanent Representative to the United Nations on Iran;
"In a blatant violation of Iraqi sovereignty, the Iranian regime recently
fired a barrage of missiles from Iran into Iraq. Iran attacked the
headquarters of the Kurdistan Democratic Party of Iran, killing eleven
people. This was not an act of Iranian proxies but of the Tehran regime
itself."

Mr. Mladenov, thank you very much for your briefing.
I've listened to my colleagues statements this afternoon with great interest. I have always been open about my belief that this Middle East debate has been excessively and unfairly focused on Israel. Today, I will go one step further. The Palestinian-Israeli conflict is serious and worthy of this Council's attention. But if there is one country that is the source of conflict and instability in the Middle East - one country that merits a quarterly debate in the Security Council - that country is not Israel. It's Iran.
For almost 40 years, the Iranian regime has existed outside the community of law-abiding nations. It is difficult to name a conflict in the Middle East that does not have Iran's fingerprints on it.
