This is quite noteworthy. Multiple reports suggest KDP authorities are preventing people with Duhok and Erbil IDs from crossing into Syria’s Kurdish areas, while allowing those with Sulaimani and Kirkuk IDs to go and join Kurdish forces or take up arms. Several people from Duhok and Erbil say they... show more

Almost all the videos circulating of men from the Kurdistan Region traveling to Syrian Kurdish areas to take up arms, saying they want to defend them against what they see as a Syrian government threat, appear to be people from the Sulaimani area. All the open-source videos circulating so far of people from the Kurdistan region show the men as being from the Sulaimani area, which means the publicly available evidence supports one clear pattern: almost all those going appear to be from Sulaimani, and to a lesser extent Kirkuk. The videos suggest they are being deployed to places such as Hasakah city, Tell Tamir, and other fronts including Rmelan. They also imply some level of organization, with individuals appearing to be arranged into small groups of roughly eight people, each assigned a specific task. This is notable, and it looks politically driven. Sulaimani is farther from Syrian territory than Duhok or Erbil, yet it is producing most of the visible mobilization. A likely explanation is politics: the KDP appears to be discouraging or preventing people from Erbil and Duhok from going, while the PUK, which has publicly sent elements of its anti-terror unit, may be more permissive or even quietly supportive. It is well known that the SDF’s military ties with the PUK are closer. But this also suggests the KDP and Barzani are acting more cautiously. Barzani appears to be playing a different game and is not aligned with a military confrontation at any price, especially given that his camp has its own Syrian Kurdish faction and does not want to burn bridges with Ahmad al-Sharaa and Damascus. Barzani also hinted yesterday that “protecting Kurdish rights” is his only red line. That implies they may not be fundamentally opposed to the SDF being absorbed into the Syrian army on an individual basis. It is also worth noting that, based on their latest statements in light of recent developments, Barzani’s position and Öcalan’s position now sound more similar than many would expect. Both emphasize Kurdish rights, but both also argue that Kurds should engage politically with Damascus.

I asked Secretary Rubio about reports that weapons were allegedly provided to Kurdish groups to pass on to the Iranian people… Kurdish parties and officials deny. Who actually received these weapons, and are they still with U.S. forces? Watch his response.

There is currently a protest outside the newly opened US consulate in Erbil, against the Syrian army’s advance toward Kurdish areas around Kobani and Hasakah in Syria. Some of the protesters appear to be Syrian Kurds, while others are from the Kurdistan Region. The protest is still fresh, and social media reports suggest more people are joining. As for the situation on the ground, two phone calls by the Syrian president point toward cultural rights and only limited, area-specific administrative self-rule. One was a call with Masoud Barzani yesterday, in which Barzani’s statement focused on protecting Kurdish rights. Today, al-Sharaa’s call with Trump appeared to centre on the same theme: protecting Kurdish rights within a unified Syria.

Drop Site’s Ryan Grim speaks with American Guy Steward, who volunteered to fight with the Kurdish YPG during Syria’s Civil War. They discuss the latest developments with Syria’s Kurds and the influence of a Vermont-based political theorist who didn’t think Bernie Sanders was left-wing enough on the Kurdish movement. Additional Context: Following the overthrow of Assad’s regime, Syrian Kurds are striving to preserve their autonomy amid shifting alliances and regional dynamics. The Turkish-backed Syrian National Army (SNA) has advanced into Kurdish-held areas, capturing Manbij from U.S.-allied Kurdish forces. Turkey views the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) as an extension of the PKK, which it designates as a terrorist organization, and opposes their presence in the new Syria. Kurdish communities are also concerned about potential opposition to their rights from the Islamist opposition forces who led the regime’s overthrow. Link to the full discussion with Guy Steward is in reply.

Kurdish protesters in front of the US Consulate General in Erbil say their message to President Donald J. Trump is that the Kurds want peace. "We are here to support the (Kurdish) minority in Syria against the terrorist attacks because of the terrorists that attack the Kurdish minority and killing civilian people with no harm just killing them for being Kurds. It's just a war against the Kurdish minority in Syria."

An Iraqi Kurdish journalist, Mohammed Raouf who has arrived in Rojava (northeast Syria), describes the situation as devastating beyond measure and imagination, speaking through tears. said Syrian jihadist regime continues its attacks on Kurds He says that while America and Europe used the Kurds to fight ISIS, the Syrian regime is now side by side of ISIS taking revenge on the Kurdish population and the world is watching without lifting a finger. In the cities recently seized by the Syrian regime from the Kurdish-led SDF, they are executing a brutal campaign of revenge against the Kurds, accusing them of supporting America against ISIS in Raqqa. They are arresting, executing, and beheading people in public. They are wiping out every single Kurd they encounter. He added that there is a severe shortage of food and water, and the cold is unbearable with no heating. He witnesses children and their mothers forced to shelter inside schools. Mothers are desperately using their own clothes to keep their children warm because they do not even have blankets. Kurds, Christians, Yazidis, and villagers who managed to flee to Kurdish-controlled areas have been taken into the homes of Kurdish families. But since the houses are already full, many have no choice but to seek refuge in schools and mosques. In the schools, there are no carpets, so people sit on concrete floors that feel like ice blocks in the extreme cold. With no access to heat, parents wrap their children in their own clothing, while they themselves slowly freeze. he added that kids are at great risk and already many have died from cold , as there is no heat or blanket He called on Kurds around the world to raise their voices. He said it’s proven that the Kurds have no friends but the mountains. But tragically, in the Kurdish areas of Syria, there are no mountains left either. He urged Kurdish youth worldwide—those who can write reports in English, German, French, and other languages—to step forward. Even through their social media accounts, they must report the truth and send it to the free world. He said this is urgent, because a real genocide is taking place against the Kurds. Finally, he said the current regime in Syria is not a legitimate government. It is a coalition of ISIS and Al-Qaeda, and they show no mercy even to Kurdish children. They are killing and executing anyone who speaks Kurdish. The government in Damascus has instructed its fighters not to film their crimes, but to carry them out in secret. #SaveRojava #rojava #kobani #kobane

#BREAKING NEWS - Urgent #leaked Despite the so-called ceasefire, Turkish intelligence and the Jolani regime are mobilizing jihadists to take over the remaining Kurdish cities from the SDF and completely wipe out Kurdish forces. Turkey and the Jolani regime are playing a very dirty and bloody game in Kurdish cities in Syria. The plan is to keep the Kurds busy with a ceasefire while, at the same time, Turkish intelligence and the Jolani regime mobilize around 20,000 jihadists from across Syria to take control of two Kurdish cities: Qamishli and Hasakah. The so-called “security forces” that have entered Hasakah and will enter Qamishli will place GPS trackers on Kurdish internal security and military locations, as well as collect intelligence on the ground for Syrian regime military headquarters, which will then be targeted by Turkish drones. 📌Can the Jolani–Mazloum Abdi ceasefire stop this attack? No. 📌The agreement has no international guarantor and can be revoked at any time.

Clashes, chaos and unrest have broken out in several parts of Khabat district (separate from Lajan, where the earlier protests took place). The common thread is that these villages are home to members of the Harki tribe, who say they won’t accept the forced displacement and humiliation of Harki families earlier today. Protesters have blocked both the Erbil–Duhok and Erbil–Mosul highways, which KDP security forces are trying to reopen. The Harki are not only one of the region’s large tribes; they are also deeply embedded in both KDP and PUK security forces and have many members serving in the Iraqi army as well, especially around Mosul. Many of them are armed, and they played an important role in the war against ISIS.

On the protests in Lajan near Erbil: there is a complete and unprecedented blackout in the village. It has been besieged by KDP special forces using U.S.-supplied Humvees and other weapons, and both electricity and internet have been cut. Since the morning, journalists attempting to cover the events have been detained, expelled, or assaulted. Some protesters have reportedly been held inside the Lanaz refinery, while others have been forced to remain in the village, which is within walking distance of the facility. Lanaz refinery is owned by Mansour Barzani, Masoud Barzani’s son and commander of the KDP special forces. KDP-aligned media, including Rudaw - which until recently was far more outspoken - have remained completely silent. The only KDP outlet to cover the events, AVA Media, has framed the protesters as armed saboteurs who blocked the refinery gate and prevented trucks from moving. The grievances of the villagers, who are from the Harki tribe, are not new. Around four months ago, they also protested to demand jobs at the refinery, saying they have been left with only pollution and disease. The Harki issue is complex. It is a large tribe divided between the KDP and PUK: the main tribal leader is aligned with the PUK due to a historical blood feud with the Barzanis, while some sub-branches now have interests with the KDP. Others, like Khurshid Harki - who clashed with KDP forces when they tried to arrest him - are seen as mavericks driven by their own interests. The PUK media’s extensive coverage of the protests has further angered the KDP. The villagers’ demands are genuine, but their actions are becoming a major headache for the KDP, in part because the area is highly strategic: it hosts not only the refinery but also the KRG oil pipeline passes by it and lies close to the disputed territories and KDP–Iraqi fault lines. Any temporary suppression of the protests risks deepening the underlying problems there.

🚨 SYRIA: ALARMING CLAIMS FROM KURDISH JOURNALIST In a live report, a Kurdish journalist claims that Kurds in areas including Taba, Raqqa, and Deir ez-Zor have been killed, and that local Kurdish authorities are unable to protect civilians or even retrieve the bodies of those killed. The claims could not immediately be independently verified. If confirmed, this would point to a severe security and humanitarian crisis for Kurdish communities in eastern Syria. Stay connected, follow Mossad Commentary.

A few notes on Mazloum Abdi attending the Duhok conference today: 1. According to the official conference programme, ex-Turkish PM Ahmet Davutoğlu was supposed to speak within the same hour as Abdi, but he appears to have skipped the conference, as he was in Erbil today and couldn’t be seen in the conference today. 2. Another minor but symbolically telling detail: KRG PM Masrour Barzani placed ENKS president Muhammad Ismail on one side and Abdi on the other, suggesting they are equals and represent two poles of Syrian Kurds. In reality, ENKS is actually on par with the PYD president, not Abdi. Those versed in Syrian Kurdish politics will have picked up on this subtle detail, especially given that ENKS is backed by the KDP and they are keen to elevate ENKS’s standing. 3. Abdi is now widely popular, almost a celebrity figure across party lines. Those who see this only as the KDP helping him, without considering how Abdi is also very good for the KDP’s image and optics, are missing the point. The Barzanis receiving Abdi (and perhaps even PKK figures in the near future) is highly useful for them too.

Leyla Zana. The first Kurdish woman elected to the Turkish parliament. In 1994, she was sentenced to 15 years in prison for saying, “I take this oath for the brotherhood of the Turkish and Kurdish peoples” in Kurdish, a language banned in Turkey at the time. She lived up to her words. A symbol of resistance, dignity, and freedom. Zana is as a beacon of resistance and dignity for the Kurdish people. This video spanning from 1991 to 2025 stands as evidence of how the oppressive state has treated Kurdish women, and how the Kurdish democratic man has stood by them and continues to do so, while honouring them 🌿✊ #LeylaZana #Kurdistan #JinJiyanAzadî

In this direction, several MRAP armoured personnel carriers can be seen positioned just before the village. According to residents, life inside has largely returned to normal, but movement is strictly regulated: only locals are allowed in, and media outlets not affiliated with the KDP are barred from entering.

Clashes between elements of the Harki tribe and KDP security forces have been ongoing and have spread to other areas, as more Harki members arrive from different regions. The fighting erupted after KDP forces attempted to arrest Khurshid Harki, one of the tribe’s chieftains, who has refused to surrender. At least one Harki fighter and one KDP security officer have been killed, and several military vehicles, including at least two Humvees, have been destroyed by Harki fighters. The unrest began following a land dispute between this faction of the Harki tribe and the Gorran tribe over territory crossed by the KRG oil pipeline. Clashes between the two tribes had already taken place. Although talks were held, tensions escalated when Bashar Mushir Agha, the head of the Gorran tribe, was seen publicly with Masrour Barzani during the fighting - a move that angered many within the Harki tribe, which is considered one of the largest, if not the largest tribe, in Kurdistan. A ceasefire agreement was reached yesterday, but Harki supporters now claim KDP forces violated it by attempting to arrest Khurshid Harki. In a video clip from the fighting, Khurshid Agha is seen holding a rifle and calling on his fighters to resist until reinforcements arrive from Zakho and Duhok. Khurshid Agha, a businessman and military commander affiliated with the KDP; the Harki tribe is split into several factions, with multiple figures claiming tribal leadership. Political party affiliations have further deepened these divisions. The most prominent Harki chief is Jawhar Muhadin Agha, a staunch KDP enemy that is aligned with the PUK. His base of support spans Duhok, Erbil, and Mosul, though he primarily operates out of Mosul, as he is unable to return to Erbil or Duhok. In a recent statement, he voiced support for Khurshid Harki and declared that the Harkis “will not accept being treated unfairly.” He commands a large following and is a multimillionaire.

Another *Kobane moment* for Turkey - in which turkeys calculation to tolerate/coordinate attacks on Kurdish areas fails and backfires - Kurds will rise up and aid their people, for Turkey this means political turmoil, instability and chaos. More demonstrations are planned for tomorrow - in Europe as well.
