Republic of Kurdistan in Mahabad 1946
The Republic of Mahabad (Kurdish: Komarî Mehabad), officially known as Republic of Kurdistan and established in Eastern Kurdistan ( Persian occupied Kurdistan ), was a short-lived, Kurdish state of the 20th century after the Republic of Ararat in Turkey. The capital was the city of Mahabad in northwestern of present Iran.
In August 1941, a general uprising wrested control of the Kurdish region from the central Iranian government. In the town of Mahabad, inhabited mostly by Kurds, a committee of middle-class people supported by tribal chiefs, took over the local administration. A political party called the Society for the Revival of Kurdistan (Komeley Jiyanewey Kurdistan or JK) was formed. Qazi Muhammad, head of a family of religious jurists, was elected as chairman of the party. Although t...

Who are the Kurds? What do they want? And why does nobody want to give it to them?
They are the fourth largest ethnic group in the Middle East, but they never obtained a permanent nation-state.
Around 35 million Kurdish reside in the mountainous regions located at the borders of Turkey, Iraq, Syria, Iran, and Armenia.
During the rise of the Ottoman empire, the Kurds were promised a separate homeland. When the borders of modern Turkey and its neighbours were drawn there was no more talk of an independent Kurdistan.
The thought of a free Kurdistan, can be worrying, will there ever be an independent state?

Iraq - Kurdish resistance to Iran's regime | DW Documentary
Small groups of Kurdish men and women from Iran are camped out in the mountains of Iraq. The exiles have joined armed resistance units and are determined to fight the Iranian regime.
The documentary follows the fate of Kurds who have taken to the mountains over the Iraqi border after fleeing Iran. Some belong to the Kurdistan Democratic Party in Iran. Targeted by Iranian rocket and drone attacks, the armed groups hide out in secret camps. Iran’s high-tech surveillance systems also make it extremely difficult to stay in touch with their relatives back home. Some of the resistance fighters played a leading role in the protest movement sparked by the death of Jina Mahsa Amini. The young Kurdish woman died after being detained by Iran’s so-called morality police for allegedly breaching the cou...

Why Isn't Kurdistan A Country? | Kurdish History
The Kurds are one of the world’s largest ethnic groups without a nation-state. Instead they are spread across four Middle Eastern countries, being a significant minority in each one. This has left them vulnerable to the centralising efforts of each government. Subsequently, Kurds across the region have complained about a lack of ability to express their cultural rights and autonomy. Not to mention, there have been several episodes of harsh repression against them. As a result, Kurdish resistance movements have cropped up throughout the last century; aiming to defend themselves and their cultural identity. The aims of these resistance movements have vacillated from outright independence to gaining greater autonomy.

Inside The Kurdish Referendum For Independence (HBO)
Despite sustained international pressure, the Kurdish regional government in Iraq held the its first-ever vote on independence. Celebrations took place across the official Kurdish region - away from the central Iraqi government. 32 million Kurdish people occupy a region across Iraq, Turkey, Syria and Iran - but do not have their own country. 6 million of them live Iraq. But controversy arose when it was announced that the vote wouldn’t just include the semi-autonomous Kurdish region but also the oil-rich disputed areas- claimed by both the federal and regional government.
VICE News was on the ground in Erbil and spoke to Kurds as they cast their vote with the whole world watching.

Why is there no Kurdistan? #shorts #geopolitics #maps #politics #countriesoftheworld
With about 40 million people, the Kurds are the largest ethnic group without their own state, but why? The Kurds' settlement area spans many countries, but most of them live in Turkey, Iraq, Syria, and Iran. A Kurdistan encompassing most of this population would stretch across many states and take up large portions of their territory, and that's where we come to our problem because none of these states have any interest in giving up territory. Turkey, for example, could lose up to 18% of its population, a huge chunk of land, and the resources that go with it.
And since Kurdistan would span so many states, it is in the interest of all these states not to allow a Kurdish independence movement. Because once it establishes itself in one country, it could spread to other countries. For this ...

How the Kurds became a key player in Syria's war
It’s an unlikely place for a democratic revolution.

Since the start of the Syrian civil war, Kurdish people in the North have carved out an autonomous region of their own — Rojava — by fighting the Islamic State. Their militias, which form the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), have emerged as the most effective fighters against ISIS and won them a close partnership with the US.
The ruling Kurdish Party, the PYD, has set up a democratic federation made of local governments. Their constitution claims to accept people of all ethnicities and religions and treat them as equals. O...

The Republic of Mahabad (Kurdish: Komarî Mehabad), officially known as Republic of Kurdistan and established in Eastern Kurdistan ( Persian occupied Kurdistan ), was a short-lived, Kurdish state of the 20th century after the Republic of Ararat in Turkey. The capital was the city of Mahabad in northwestern of present Iran.
In August 1941, a general uprising wrested control of the Kurdish region from the central Iranian government. In the town of Mahabad, inhabited mostly by Kurds, a committee of middle-class people supported by tribal chiefs, took over the local administration. A political party called the Society for the Revival of Kurdistan (Komeley Jiyanewey Kurdistan or JK) was formed. Qazi Muhammad, head of a family of religious jurists, was elected as chairman of the party. Although the republic was not formally declared until December 1945, the committee headed by Qazi, administered the area with commendable efficiency and success for over five years until the fall of the republic.
Soviet and British forces occupied Iran in late August 1941, with the Soviets controlling the north. The Soviets were mainly ambivalent towards the Kurdish administration. They did not maintain a garrison near Mahabad and also did not have any civil agent of sufficient standing to exercise any great influence. They encouraged Qazi's administration by practical benevolent operations such as providing motor transport, keeping out the Iranian army, and buying the whole of the tobacco crop. They opposed the declaration of a separate independent Kurdish republic.
In September 1945, Qazi Muhammad and other Kurdish leaders visited Tabriz to see a Soviet consul on the backing of a new republic, and were then redirected to Baku,
Azerbaijan SSR. There, they learned that the Azerbaijan Democrat Party was planning to take control of Iranian Azerbaijan. On December 10, the Azerbaijan Democrat Party took control of East Azerbaijan province from Iranian government forces. Qazi Muhammad decided to do the same, and on December 15, the Kurdish People's Government was founded in Mahabad. On January 22, 1946, Qazi Muhammad announced the formation of the Republic of Mahabad.
On June 1946, Iran reasserted its control over Iranian Azerbaijan. This move isolated the Republic of Mahabad, eventually leading to its destruction. They closed down the Kurdish printing press, banned the teaching of Kurdish language, and burned all Kurdish books that they could find. Finally, on March 31, 1947, Qazi Muhammad was hanged in Mahabad on counts of treason
In October 1958, Mustafa Barzani returned to Northern Iraq, beginning a series of struggles to fight for an independent Kurdish state under the KDP party, carrying the same flag that was used in Mahabad.
Archibald Bulloch Roosevelt, Jr., grandson of the former U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt, wrote in "The Kurdish Republic of Mahabad" that a main problem of the People's Republic of Mahabad was that the Kurds needed the assistance of the USSR; only with the Red Army did they have a chance. But this close relationship to Stalin and the USSR caused most of the Western powers to side with Iran. Qazi Muhammad, though not denying the fact that they were funded and supplied by the Soviets, denied that the KDP was a Communist party, stating this was a lie fabricated by the Iranian military authorities, and adding that his ideals were very different from the Soviets.

Small groups of Kurdish men and women from Iran are camped out in the mountains of Iraq. The exiles have joined armed resistance units and are determined to fight the Iranian regime.
The documentary follows the fate of Kurds who have taken to the mountains over the Iraqi border after fleeing Iran. Some belong to the Kurdistan Democratic Party in Iran.

Iran’s high-tech surveillance systems also make it extremely difficult to stay in touch with their relatives back home. Some of the resistance fighters played a leading role in the protest movement sparked by the death of Jina Mahsa Amini. The young Kurdish woman died after being detained by Iran’s so-called morality police for allegedly breaching the country’s mandatory hijab laws for women. Last year, Tehran issued the Iraqi government in Baghdad with an ultimatum, setting them a deadline to disarm Kurdish opposition groups and relocate them from the border. But some refuse to leave.
[Editor's Note: On 16 January 2024, Iran’s Revolutionary Guards claimed responsibility for a ballistic missile attack on the northern Iraqi city of Erbil. At least four people were killed in the strike. In a statement released later the Revolutionary Guards said they had carried out the attack on Israeli “spy headquarters”. Local authorities have condemned the strike and dismissed the claims as baseless. For more information visit: https://p.dw.com/p/4bHjt and https://www.dw.com/en/middle-east/s-14207 ]

The Kurds are one of the world’s largest ethnic groups without a nation-state. Instead they are spread across four Middle Eastern countries, being a significant minority in each one. This has left them vulnerable to the centralising efforts of each government. Subsequently, Kurds across the region have complained about a lack of ability to express their cultural rights and autonomy. Not to mention, there have been several episodes of harsh repression against them. As a result, Kurdish resistance movements have cropped up throughout the last century; aiming to defend themselves and their cultural identity. The aims of these resistance movements have vacillated from outright independence to gaining greater autonomy.

Despite sustained international pressure, the Kurdish regional government in Iraq held the its first-ever vote on independence. Celebrations took place across the official Kurdish region - away from the central Iraqi government. 32 million Kurdish people occupy a region across Iraq, Turkey, Syria and Iran - but do not have their own country. 6 million of them live Iraq. But controversy arose when it was announced that the vote wouldn’t just include the semi-autonomous Kurdish region but also the oil-rich disputed areas- claimed by both the federal and regional government.
VICE News was on the ground in Erbil and spoke to Kurds as they cast their vote with the whole world watching.

With about 40 million people, the Kurds are the largest ethnic group without their own state, but why? The Kurds' settlement area spans many countries, but most of them live in Turkey, Iraq, Syria, and Iran. A Kurdistan encompassing most of this population would stretch across many states and take up large portions of their territory, and that's where we come to our problem because none of these states have any interest in giving up territory. Turkey, for example, could lose up to 18% of its population, a huge chunk of land, and the resources that go with it.
And since Kurdistan would span so many states, it is in the interest of all these states not to allow a Kurdish independence movement. Because once it establishes itself in one country, it could spread to other countries. For this reason, Turkey is fighting Kurdish forces even outside its borders, because it wants to prevent a Kurdish state that could eventually lay claim to much of Turkey's current territory.
Thus, a modern Kurdish state is unlikely to emerge any time soon, although it should be said that Kurds in northern Iraq do enjoy some autonomy.

Since the start of the Syrian civil war, Kurdish people in the North have carved out an autonomous region of their own — Rojava — by fighting the Islamic State. Their militias, which form the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), have emerged as the most effective fighters against ISIS and won them a close partnership with the US.
The ruling Kurdish Party, the PYD, has set up a democratic federation made of local governments. Their constitution claims to accept people of all ethnicities and religions and treat them as equals. One of its central tenets is equality of men and women. In fact, the all-female Women’s Protection Unit (YPJ) militia fights alongside the SDF, and they’re known to be especially good soldiers.
But the more territory the Kurds take from ISIS, the more worried Turkey gets.
Turkey has been at war with another closely linked Kurdish group, the PKK, for decades. In 2018, Turkey invaded the Syrian Kurdish enclave of Afrin, putting the country in direct conflict with the Kurds of Rojava.
To truly understand the international conflicts and trends shaping our world you need a big-picture view. Video journalist Sam Ellis uses maps to tell these stories and chart their effects on foreign policy.
