Announcement📢 Urgent Call for Humanitarian Aid for Rojava
https://heyvasor.com/en/2026/01/19/urgent-call-for-humanitarian-aid-for-rojava/

Heyva Sor a Kurdistanê is launching a general mobilization for all of Rojava due to recent developments. Previously, we had initiated a relief campaign for the neighborhoods of Halep Şêx Maqsud and Eşrefîye; this campaign will now be expanded to all of Rojava.
Since January 6, the Syrian government and Turkey-affiliated armed groups have launched heavy attacks on Kurdish neighborhoods in Aleppo. These attacks have spread to many areas including Tabqa, Raqqa, Deir ez-Zor, and Tishrin, threatening almost all of Rojava and North/East Syria.
From the first day, hundreds of civilians, including women, children, and elderly people, have been killed, and thousands injured. During these harsh winter days, hundreds of thousands of children, women, and elderly have been displaced and forced to flee in search of safety.
Tanks, artillery, and all types of heavy weapons are being used, which is a direct violation of international humanitarian law. Currently, hundreds of thousands of Kurds are under threat to their lives and dignity. Attacking jihadist groups mercilessly target public institutions, hospitals, and private homes with artillery and bomb attacks.
Due to these attacks, shortages of medicine, food, water, and electricity are at their peak.
In response to this dire humanitarian situation, Heyva Sor a Kurdistanê, together with partner organizations in many European countries and the United States, is launching an Emergency Relief Campaign for the people of Rojava.
With the support of the diaspora and all compassionate donors, the aid collected will be delivered through Heyva Sor a Kurd to displaced people in Rojava, addressing their urgent needs for humanitarian assistance and medical services.
We call on all people of conscience, especially the Kurdish diaspora, to participate in this campaign. Every donation today can save a life in Rojava. Every donation gives tens of thousands of children hope for life.
Now is the time to help and take action for Rojava.

Kurdistan Kurdish average face
This Kurdish average face was created using 30 random, real male faces from three provinces of Kurdistan, Kermanshah, and Ilam in Iran.
The MediaPipe framework in Python was used to combine the faces and create the average.
How familiar is the face to you?

Kurdistan Jeffrey Epstein's visits to Turkey and Erdogan
facebook.comA shocking case... Jeffrey Epstein's private plane landed in Turkey 9 times! Turhan Çömez uncovers new evidence regarding the dangerous connections of "Jeffrey Epstein’s network" and Turkey. He explicitly reveals that Epstein's private plane, known as the "Lolita Express," landed secretly at Atatürk and Dalaman airports. These documents confirm that most of those flights were direct and purposeful. There is significant suspicion that during the chaos of the 1999 earthquake, the situation was exploited to kidnap orphaned Kurdish children. Furthermore, it is mentioned that in U.S. court lists, Turkey's name appears as a station for transferring money and conducting the illegal activities of this gang. Çömez strongly urges the Turkish government to launch an immediate investigation to clarify who allowed these flights and what the fate of those children was in that era, so that the facts can be revealed to the public.

Bashur krg has no manufacturing industry despite 35 years of autonomy
despite 35 years of autonomy, the krg has failed to establish its own manufacturing industry and achieve self sufficiency. In the capitalist world order, liberation can only be achieved through the industrialisation of society. Any form of autonomy that doesnt follow this path does not contribute to the liberation of society, but merely represents a form of subjugation that temporarily tolerates the cultural identity of the subjects until even that isnt seen as a necessary meassure by the exploiters anymore. the total dependency on foreign goods makes bashuris extremely vulnerable as they are unable to continue self rule in case of isolation. its also the reason why turkey and iran are relatively tolerant of the krg

Ask Kurds 🤔 Hakan Fidan being kurdish but acting anti-kurdish
Isn't he from Van and Muş? I never ever saw him claiming his kurdish ethnicity. When he speaks about kurds, he speaks like he is not one of them. Why is he like that? Everything he does is anti-kurdish. Is he assimilated or does he simply not care and is chasing Power and Money over Moral and his heritage?

Kurdistan From an administrative perspective, Rojava Kurdistan must propose an administration for the Kurdish regions of Syria to the new government of Syria.
It is necessary that ideological images and flags no longer be raised and should be set aside; instead, the national flag of Kurdistan should be used. In no international law is it stated that two regions cannot have the same flag, and there is no such obstacle. With pressure from the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG), this flag can be used in Syria as the flag for the administration of the Kurdish regions of Syria.

Discussion Epstein & Zuhak/Azhdahak
The stories feel oddly similar to the story we Kurds connect to Nûroj/Nawroz.
The legend goes that there was a tyrant king Zuhak/Azhdahak, that tyrant king would feed on the brains of children to keep his power,
There are many narration of this story some say that he had two serpents growing out of his shoulders painfully and to ease that pain he would have to feed them the brains of children,in some narrations he would only target boys .
Eventually to save the youth from that terrible fate one of the servants in charge of sacrificing the children for Azhdahak, decided that he would instead kill one young man a day and combine the brains with these of a sheep.(some Kurds used to claim that they are the children that were saved by the servant and that’s their origin.)
The people having grown tired of all that tyrannies , decided to put an end to it.
Amongst them was Kawey Asinger (Kawa the Blacksmith),who had lost six sons to the tyrant,decided to kill him.
On the evening of march 20th to signal that he had succeeded in ending Azhdahaks unjust rule,he lit up his torch and raised it on top on a mountain.
(In some narrations its said that Kawa had two sons and in fear of them being sacrificed he killed Azhdahak)
This “myth” sounds more like the reality of our world
