There
is a saying that smart people will learn from other people's mistakes and
stupid people must experience mistakes before learning. Too many Kurdish people
are content to act stupidly. Unfortunately they are the ones who always must go
through mistakes before learning.
Only
stupid people do not do their research before supporting others' organisations.
One of the reasons why Kurds don't have an independent country is that, in
spite of their native intelligence, they do not investigate the calibre of
people whom they elect, always choosing those who will exploit and deprive
them. Lack of knowledge of its history and the absence of a unified language
further hampers the establishment of a truly democratic Kurdistan with just
human and economic rights, but information is easily available to remedy this
ignorance (1).
Nawshirwan
Mustafa has been working with Abraham Ahmad and Jalal Talabani for fifty years,
both of whose children have already been strongly linked to corruption. Why do
some Kurds believe that Mustafa isn't corrupt now? (2)
Most
of Mustafa's friends in charge of the Gorran Party have also been accused of corruption,
while his sons act like Qubad Talabani, son of Jalal Talabani, and Massoud
Barzani's sons, who disrespected other so-called lesser Kurds recently by
supplying them with false phone numbers for anyone want to contact his father.
Although the grandsons of labourers, they presumed to act like the elite descendants
of their father's former landlord Muhammad Pasha Jaff. Originally from the Senandij-Iran,
home of the Bani-Erdalan family, which sold the rights and welfare of the
Kurdish people like the Baban family previously did, Mustafa could yet join the
political ranks of Barzani and Jalal Talabani.
After
the debacle of the September 21 elections, in which the ballot papers of some
electors who voted for minor parties were allegedly destroyed before they were
counted, Iraqi Kurds have once again been duped into submission to the
attitudes and policies of their new, yet indifferent government. Now they must
unite to throw off this lethargy and its associated deficits and join the true descendants
of the Median (ancient Kurdish) Empire, which ruled the Middle East two
thousand five hundred years ago with a civilisation whose Aryan politics, ethics, and culture dominated that of those whose descendants now rule over them. (3)
Those
Kurds who intelligently look to Abdullah Ocalan's inspiration of the PCDK to eventually
overrule corrupt, self-interested incumbent Iraqi Kurdish power, must maintain
their belief in the ultimate triumph of the will of the Kurdish people. The candidates pictured may have had the
strong, complex, and vividly patterned Kurdish carpet pulled out from under
their legitimate bid to represent their fellow citizens, but not for long. The
difference between them and the successful candidates is obvious, but the
Kurdish people must first crawl out of their political caves and learn to
recognise and support those who advocate and fight for their personal and
territorial freedoms.
