Apo & Salih Muslim
In honor of Salih Muslim, a hero from a city of heros and one of Kobanês most beloved sons.
We resist by remembering who we are.
We resist by keeping our culture alive.
We resist by honoring those who came before us and those we have lost.

A tremendous tremendous loss.
Salih Muslim spent his life fighting for the Kurdish cause and in particular for his hometown of Kobanê.
The virtuosity and bravery of Rojhilati Kurds is legendary.

35 years today since the Kurdish uprising against Saddam Hussein’s regime began in the city of Rania.
We owe everything to our people and our people alone.

None of this is factual. She has not been killed, she is not impoverished and it is her music in general and activism during the Jina Amini protests in particular that is the reason for her imprisonment, not the current economic protests. She is a Kurdish woman who lives in Germany.
I pray for the downfall of the men who punish women for singing.
Kurdish singer Yalda Abbasi has been imprisoned in Iran. Her only crime is making music in Kurdish.
Her child is a year and a half.

In the tradition of Kurds facing all hardships by making music & writing poetry, huge amounts of new music is being released lately about Rojava & Rojhilat. It offers a beautiful & welcome respite.
Despite this, I keep coming back to this song by Rafiq Chalak.

Pictured is black text on a white background. In the lower right corner is a red Kurdish sun on a yellow background and the account name Kurdish song of the day written in the same yellow shade. The text reads; My overwhelming feeling during these last few terrible weeks has been pride. Pride in my people. Pride in fearless Kurdish women & the men who stand beside them as equals. Pride in elders who have faced down such horrors countless times & yet continue to fight for a safer world for their children. In our ability to face death, inhumanity & destruction with music, art & laughter. In grandmothers cooking for soldiers & displaced citizens on the side of the road. In people in the most dire of circumstances taking the time to care for animals & the land. In everyone I know collecting money & supplies to send to Rojava. In everyone constantly reminding each other to focus on BOTH Rojava & Rojhilat. In the grace of my people who, in the midst of their hometown being ravaged, gather in the town square to light fires around which they sing & dance & recite poetry. I pray that in every lifetime I will return as a Kurdish woman.

Exhausting to live in a world where we have to argue that fascism is evil.
That Al-Qaida & ISIS / DAESH are evil.
That indigenous women are the best stewards of their on land & people.
That the young women of YPJ fighting for their freedom are heroes.
How is this still up for debate??
I'll never stop talking about Kurdistan
All indigenous people deserve to live on their ancestral land w freedom & dignity
The sides are clear
Islamists are kidnapping girls & killing whole families for being Kurdish
Rojava is the future
YPJ is the future

The amount of music coming out of & made about Rojava in the last week is so moving to me.
If you attack our culture, we will only strengthen it.
If you kill protesters, more of us will take to the streets.
If you try to harm our women, we will uplift their struggle

(Prev post deleted, bad info on my part!)
Bluesky have banned YPJ's AND Rojavakommittéerna's accounts.
The women of YPJ r the reason ISIS is not currently running rampant over most of the ME & Bluesky responds by blocking them from telling the world what is going on
IN THE MIDDLE OF A GENOCIDE!
Imagine hating us and we're just sitting here making music.
Me & my parents keep saying the same thing lately. Being Kurdish is painful. But we would never want to be anything else.
Her Bijî Berxwedana Rojava & Rojhilat
Hun dikarin ji bo koçberên li Rojava alîkariyên xwe li ser van hesaban bişînin.

The love we bear for each other will triumph over the occupiers hatred every time.
They know that. Thats why Kurdish women terrify them. We are the keepers of the culture. We lead.
Rojava and Rojhilat will never fall.

The islamists have been trying to kill us since the Rashidun Caliphate in 632 when they first entered the fertile crescent.
They have not succeed. We are still here. We wear our hair in braids, wear Kurdish clothes & sing our songs.
We are indigenous. They are not.
