The Debate On Kurdistan
Kurdistan is a mystery of a country. Their people, Kurds, are located in parts of Iraq, Iran, Syria, and Turkey. The nation has their own system of government, language, schooling, and much more. In fact, they have a lot of natural resources, such as good land for mass agricultural production, access to many water sources, and oil, which gives them access to a lot of wealth in their region. Furthermore, this puts them in high demand and competition among other nations, in hopes of becoming trading partners. However Kurds still haven't been granted ownership of the land they reside on and independence in order to have their own country, which is why they are still not considered a country by the rest of the world, but a nation. In addition, it's also an issue of whether or not these countries are willing to give up such large portions of their land in order for these Kurds to have a country of their own. In addition to this lack of acknowledgement as an independent country, Kurdistan is also constantly under attack by neighboring countries, while fighting for their independence. While most blame war in the Middle East on religion, these attacks are purely political. In fact as of recently there was a mass genocide in Rojava, which many place the blame on their ally, America. In specific president Trump, for he took the American Army out of the territory, allowing Turkey to attack the Kurds in the territory. This blame was made due to the fact that the Kurds have fought alongside Americans in countless wars,for example the fight against ISIS, and are trade partners. Many say it was a huge sign of betrayal. The myriad of animosity towards the Kurds, in Iraq specifically, many date back to the Iraqi War with Saddam Hussein being dictator at the time and his cruel treatment of the Kurds. Each region has it's own specific reasons for tension among the groups.
