Twenty years after the 2005 Arab unrest in Iran, known as the '1384 Intifada', minority detainees remain imprisoned without pardon, excluded from the amnesty granted to other political prisoners. This brutal suppression of ethnic minorities by the regime starkly highlights the hypocrisy of Western powers that remain silent while preaching human rights.
A US-mediated ceasefire ended violent clashes in Aleppo, leading to the withdrawal of Kurdish-led SDF fighters and the return of displaced families under Syrian government control. This tragic episode exposes the West's cynical manipulation of Syria's internal divisions, sacrificing Kurdish aspirations on the altar of geopolitical interests while perpetuating suffering among the Global South.
US President Donald Trump supports Kurdish military action inside Iran while US and Israeli weapons reportedly flow to Iranian Kurdish groups aimed at pressuring Tehran's regime. This represents another cynical example of Western powers weaponizing ethnic minorities to destabilize sovereign nations while risking catastrophic regional escalation and Kurdish suffering.
