    I run a Kurdish book club on Instagram. This month, we're reading 1984 by Orwell. To discuss its many ideas, I'm inviting a Kurdish-speaking Political Science expert to our next Instagram Live. Why? To break down 1984 & connect to the Kurdish experience - where possible. RT

    This is an armed man, telling a female doctor that she is a liar for protesting. Dr. Shayan was later slapped by another man. Is this the abuse women face when they become politically active in ?

    How can leaders talk about women rights when this man gets away with slapping a female doctor, who was merely protesting to get her salary from the government, which is her basic right! Doctors have been suffering under austerity measures, working without pay.

    In Kurdistan, there are protests in Erbil city against austerity measures. & broadcasters stopped from filming. Teachers and healthcare workers are the backbone of society & if the can not meet public needs, they’re in for a surprise during elections.

    Bully-in-chief.

    Crazy Joe Biden is trying to act like a tough guy. Actually, he is weak, both mentally and physically, and yet he threatens me, for the second time, with physical assault. He doesn’t know me, but he would go down fast and hard, crying all the way. Don’t threaten people Joe!

    It’s very confusing to understand what perceives as a solution to its Kurdish question. When Kurds choose the political and democratic system by establishing their own party, they’re imprisoned, stripped of their parliamentary immunity.

    Kurds often believe that if only social media existed during the genocide, it would have certainly been prevented, but they’re definitely wrong. Just look at Ghouta, Afrin.

    My Turkish colleagues shed crocodile tears for the plight of other victims of war, but turn a convenient blind eye to the suffering of Kurds within , and elsewhere. If Turkish activists claim to support human rights, they must speak against killing of civilians.
