Is Abdullah Ocalan Teaching dead in Kurdistan?

By Hamma Mirwaisi

The Kurdish people should not tolerate any sign that the KCK's leaders are following the footsteps of Kurdish tribal leaders, Kurdish Sayyied Arab and Kurdish sheiks' unjust practices in Kurdistan. The suffering of Kurds at the hand of other Kurds must stop from now on.

Ever since their assumption of power the Kurdish sheiks Jalal Talabani and Massoud Barzani have placed themselves, their governments, and their organisations above many of the crucial laws in Kurdistan protecting the people from corruption, economic inequities, human-rights abuses, and assassination and other forms of murder. Observers must now ask why clauses of the post-Iraq-occupation US-sponsored Kurdish constitution have now been set aside in a nation whose forbear, Dayukku, the founder of Median Empire and Cyrus the Great, formulated laws based on justice and equity two and a half thousand years ago?'

Acting like they are above the law, Kurdish tribal leaders  and  Kurdish Sayyied leaders of Arab origin and Kurdish non-Sayyied religious sheik leaders now facilitate the murder of their countrymen and women and receive no punishment. Sponsored by the central governments of Iran, Turkey, Iraq, and Syria, they operate strategically to keep them in power.

The leader of the Kurdistan Worker's Party (PKK), Abdullah Oca an's revolution rose in defiance of these errors before fighting for the liberation of the Kurdish people from the occupiers of Kurdistan. Now, most of the other Kurdish political parties are following the destructive patterns set by Kurdish tribal leaders, Kurdish Arab Sayyieds, and Kurdish sheiks; not much has changed for the Kurdish people in the last 2500 years.

Kurds must learn to respect their laws. Courts of law must function to punish criminals, not just allow their senseless killing of ordinary citizens for no apparent reason. In contrast, to gain and keep the trust of the Kurdish people, The Group of Communities in Kurdistan (KCK) incorporating the PKK, PJAK, PYD, and PCDK must now produce a declaration promising them that they are not going to assassinate or kill any Kurds. They must undertake to use the law courts to punish criminal Kurds.

Critically, the KCK as the leader of the Kurdish people worldwide must now speak out on behalf of Kurdish journalist Kawa Garmyani, who was gunned downed after investigating the corrupt rule of Jalal Talabani's family in that part of Kurdistan. 

The organisation must demand the apprehension, trial, and punishment of his killer. 

The Kurdish people should not tolerate any sign that the KCK's leaders are following the footsteps of Kurdish tribal leaders, Kurdish Sayyied Arab, and Kurdish sheiks' unjust practices in Kurdistan. The suffering of Kurds at the hand of other Kurds must stop from now on.

But with those Kurdish tribal leaders, Kurdish Sayyieds of Arab origin and Kurdish Sheiks in the KCK leadership already changing Abdullah Ocalan's teachings, the Kurdish people must speak out now before it is too late. Otherwise, in time the KCK will be similar to Barzani's KDP or Talabani's PUK or the other political parties in Kurdistan.

In many KCK organizations, including the Kurdish National Congress (KNK), the children of Kurdish tribal leaders, Kurdish Sayyied of Arab origin, and Kurdish sheiks are leaders of organizations affiliated with the KCK, which does not bode well for the Kurdish people. They must ask why the KCK (PKK, PJAK,  PYD, and PCDK) organizations are allowing the ideological influence of Kurdish tribal leaders, Kurdish Sayyied Arabs, and Kurdish sheiks to take over Abdullah Ocalan's organization.

Ocalan's teachings on women are an important issue in the battle for the hearts and minds of the Kurdish people. Thousands of Kurdish women have given their lives for freedom from oppressive religious strictures and murders and they will not support anything less than Ocalan's doctrines of equality and independence of male-dominated ideologies.

Kurdish people must learn lesson from what happened to Kurds in the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) of Iraq; Barzani, Talabani, Dazai tribal leaders, Zebari tribal leaders, and others ruling Kurdistan now have a limited following and too much corrupt power. The question for the Kurdish people is, "Do you see any rule of law in that part of Kurdistan?'

We are calling on Kurdish intellectuals to ask the KCK to safeguard Abdullah Ocalan's teachings. The KCK is the only hope for the Kurdish people's desire to be ruled by law. If they do not act there might not be respect for the laws in Kurdistan for hundreds of years.

Authors Bio:

Hamma Mirwaisi was exposed to the oppression of Kurds while still a youth, as his education was frequently interrupted by Iraqi government harassment. Forbidden from entering university in 1968, he had little choice but to join the peshmerga (freedom fighter) forces of Mustafa Barzani from 1968 to 1975 in their battles against the Iraqi Government forces.
Although the conflict was resolved by treaty in 1975, he foresaw reprisals by Saddam Hussein's secret service against his extended family. He took his wife and two children to Iran, and in 1976 they entered the US as legal refugees, settling in Valley City, North Dakota.
Mirwaisi completed BS and MS degrees in Electrical Engineering at the University of North Dakota. That led to a technical career, beginning in 1982 at the Sperry Corporation in Minneapolis. Sperry's merger with Unisys Corporation caused the end of his program, and he took up Ph.D. studies in Radio-Frequency (RF) Engineering at the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs. Eventually he returned to work at Honeywell, where he completed his career, becoming the Senior RF Engineer on the Air Force Satellite Communication program.
The tragedy of the Kurds intervened again in 1995. His sister and her two-year-old daughter were drowned while escaping Saddam Hussein's reprisals against the Kurds for their rebellion during the first Gulf War.
He returned to Kurdish affairs in 2004, when the US Army called on him to serve as an interpreter in the second Gulf War. At the end of that assignment, he began seeking American corporate sponsors for the rebuilding of Kurdistan. However, the Barzanis, who controlled the Kurdistan Regional Government, saw the initiative as a scheme to undermine their own influence and expelled Mirwaisi from Iraq. The doors to government and corporate sponsorship of works in Kurdistan (at least those that did not include a Barzani rake-off) slammed shut.
Since then, Mirwaisi has devoted his efforts to spreading the word about Kurdish history and culture through writing and speaking. After his first book, Return of the Medes, he was invited to serve for a year as an honorary member of the Kurdistan National Congress (KNK), a Kurdish parliament in exile that sits in Brussels. He is the author of many other books on Kurdish affairs
