The question each Feyli must ask themselves: Are you kurdish or shiite? Feyli Kurds must decide who they support ![]() A Feyli Kurdish family that has returned to i-rack and currently living in a refugee camp in Diyala. In Saddam Hussein’s day, the Feyli Kurds were the enemy, being both Kurdish and Shiite Muslim. Many were forced out of i-rack. Now that things are different, they’re wondering whether to return. Sadoun works in a busy part of Tehran, the capital of Iran, as a waiter in a restaurant. Before he came to Iran, Sadoun – who is a Feyli Kurd from i-rack – the 53-year-old was a goldsmith in Baghdad. But he was forced to leave his home in April 1980 after the i-racki army raided his home. “It was a rainy day and the army put me on a truck with many others,” he recalls bitterly. Along with hundreds of Feyli Kurdish families, Sadoun was forced to leave i-rack that day. “We found ourselves at the border in the Kermanshah province [north western Iran] and we were forced to cross,” Sadoun says. Back then, being a Feyli Kurd was not a good thing to be. Feyli Kurds are Kurdish by ethnicity and usually Shiite Muslim by religion. i-rack’s ruler Saddam Hussein, a Sunni Muslim, didn’t like either of those categories very much and he gave the Feyli Kurds two choices: death or expulsion. Many of the Feyli Kurds were forced to leave on the trumped up charge that they were loyal to Iran, rather than i-rack. Things have obviously changed a lot since then. The i-racki Kurdish now run their own semi-autonomous state and the i-racki government in Baghdad is headed by a mostly Shiite Muslim coalition. And in August 2011, the i-racki Parliament approved in principal of a resolution that stated that the Feyli Kurds had been subject to genocidal tactics by the former regime. And in early April this year, i-rack’s cabinet discussed the subject again and called for further improvement in conditions for Feyli Kurds. Unfortunately the session was boycotted by politicians from South Kurdistan who had already returned to the semi-autonomous state of South Kurdistan in protest at how they saw Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki running the country. The oppression of the Feyli Kurds really began before Saddam Hussein came to power. “When the Kurdish revolution broke out in i-rack [against the government, for Kurdish independence] in September 1961, Feyli Kurdish businessmen in Baghdad were sympathetic and they supported it,” says Majid Sami, a Feyli Kurd businessman in Baghdad told NIQASH. “So the i-racki authorities hated the Feyli Kurds even more. When that revolution ended in 1975, the i-racki state started its first serious campaign against the Feyli Kurds.” In 1975 Feyli Kurds were deprived of i-racki nationality; then their oppression reached its peak in 1980. Forced into Iran, the Feyli Kurds were still considered Iraqis by their Iranian hosts. And three generations of Feyli Kurds grew up in exile, not knowing which nation they really belonged to. “We suffered a lot because we didn't have an identity,” says Muhsen Tayeb, one of the Feyli Kurds deported from i-rack as a teenager. “The Iraqis told us we were Iranians and the Iranians told us we were Iraqis. We didn’t know who we really were.” These days, the Shiite Muslim-dominated government in Baghdad seems to be putting a lot of effort into helping the Feyli Kurds. Observers say that al-Maliki’s government wants the Feyli Kurds to support it on a sectarian basis – both al-Maliki and the Feyli Kurds are Shiite Muslim - rather than on an ethnic basis. There have already been many attempts to try and distance the Feyli Kurds from the i-racki Kurdish authorities, said Sadoun al-Fili, who is responsible for Iraqi-Kurdish relations for the political party, Patriotic Union of Kurdistan, in Baghdad. Al-Maliki’s government wants the Feyli Kurds to think that they are the only ones who can guarantee their safety, al-Fili suggested. At the moment, al-Fili thinks that the Feyli Kurds don’t feel like anybody cares for them, let alone the authorities in South Kurdistan. The answer, suggests the man who has much to do with Feyli Kurdish activities in Baghdad, would be to create a ministry for Feyli Kurds living in exile – just as the Palestinians have done. Al-Fili says the Feyli Kurds want their old positions in Baghdad back, they wish to return to do business in Baghdad in the same way they used to, but that they’ve been unable to do this because of the security situation in Baghdad. Most of the wealthier Feyli Kurds, of which there are a fair few, have invested in Europe or in the Gulf States where life is more stable and secure. As for Sadoun, the man working as a waiter in Tehran, what does he want? He says he doesn’t want to return to i-rack, the nation that kicked him out. “Why should we return?” he asks. “We lost everything and it’s not easy to get that back. Anyway I don't think i-rack is a good place for the Feyli Kurds. We were uprooted and it’s very hard to come back after that kind of thing,” he concludes. http://www.niqash.org/articles/?id=3198 |

No doubt Feylis have suffered alot by baath regime we all did as kurds, but our Feyli land is not Baghdad it's Feyli land stretching from Xanaqin to Mandali. ill add a quote from Turkish poet Ismail Beshkchi about the Kurds living in Istanbul "they say 5 million Kurds live in Istanbul but this is not relevant and will not make the city Kurdish but even if no Kurds lived in Hakkari the city will still be kurdistani bcos Kurdish issue is about land" |

EU Ends Arms Embargo on Syrian Rebels [9:26] 13/May/28 PNA - British Foreign Secretary William Hague says the European Union has decided to lift the arms embargo on the Syrian opposition while maintaining all other sanctions against Bashar Assad's regime after June 1. Hague said after a meeting today that the decision "sends a very strong message from Europe to the Assad regime." The all-day meeting laid bare EU hesitation on feeding arms in a foreign conflict only months after it won the Nobel Peace Prize. Hague insisted that Britain had "no immediate plans to send arms to Syria. It gives us flexibility to respond in the future if the situation continues to deteriorate." http://www.peyamner.com/English/PNAnews.aspx?ID=311807 |

Just what i expected. I am sure they will send more arms to FSA wether they admit it publicly or deny it. FSA is losing ground,and need more heavy and/or modern weapons to go on the offensive again. |

The EU also had plans to buy oil from plants that were captured by the rebels(not sure how the situation stands now, the Syrian Army might have re-captured them by now), to which Russia responded that they would supply the Syrian military with cruise missiles if the EU made such a move. Like two vultures fighting for their own meal. |

Assad Says Syria Has Received Advanced Missiles From Russia![]() BEIRUT, Lebanon — President Bashar al-Assad of Syria said in a television interview to be broadcast on Thursday that Russia has delivered S-300 air defense missiles to his country, weapons that Israel has said present a threat to its security and against which it is willing to use force. “Syria has received the first shipment of Russian antiaircraft S-300 rockets,” Mr. Assad said in the interview, to be aired on Al Manar, the television channel of the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah, which in recent weeks has dramatically increased its military intervention in Syria on the side of Mr. Assad’s government. “The rest of the shipment will arrive later today.” Russian officials had said earlier this week that the country would deliver the weapons to Syria, a move that Mr. Assad’s opponents said was a sign that neither Russia nor the Syrian government was serious about proposed negotiations to end the Syrian civil war that Russia and the United States are trying to organize for as early as next month. The interview with Mr. Assad was taped on Tuesday, according to the Beirut news director of Iran’s PressTV, which is scheduled to broadcast it in English. That same day, Israel’s defense minister declared categorically that no missiles had yet been delivered. Both the Syrian government and the opposition have hardened their positions in recent days, casting doubt on the future of the proposed talks as each side declared a starting point that is thoroughly unacceptable to the other. On Wednesday, the Syrian opposition said that Mr. Assad’s departure is a prerequisite to talks — a condition his government and Russia reject — while Syria’s foreign minister said that Mr. Assad would stay on at least until 2014 and might seek re-election and that any peace agreement would have to be approved by a referendum. Mr. Assad’s statements — and the choice of the Hezbollah channel to deliver them — added to the confrontational atmosphere. His statements were first reported in the Lebanese newspaper al-Akhbar and confirmed by Ali Rizk, who performed the simultaneous translation of the interview to be aired on Iran’s English-language PressTV channel. Mr. Rizk said the interview had been taped on Tuesday. Syrian rebel commanders have also issued aggressive statements in recent days, threatening to attack Hezbollah and even the Lebanese Army inside Lebanon if Hezbollah’s intervention is not halted. Late Wednesday, Lebanon’s president, Michel Suleiman, a political ally of Hezbollah, issued an unusual statement calling on Hezbollah to pull out of Syria for the sake of Lebanese security and the integrity of the group’s primary mission, fighting Israel. Lebanese politicians of every stripe have been loathe to directly confront Hezbollah, which fields the most seasoned and influential military force in the country, trumping even the army. But as rocket attacks on Hezbollah areas have increased along with sectarian anger, a growing chorus has worried that Hezbollah and Lebanese Sunni militants supporting the Syrian rebels are destabilizing the country. Mr. Suleiman said he wished that Hezbollah’s chief, Hassan Nasrallah, would not “involve the resistance” — as Hezbollah and its confrontation with Israel are known here — in Syria’s war. “It is the resistance of Lebanon and not of Syria,” he said. Mr. Suleiman said he still had good relations with Hezbollah, but that his role as president was “to correct paths.” He even compared Hezbollah’s intervention — which its leaders and supporters have described as a pre-emptive war to prevent Sunni extremists involved in the Syrian uprising from infiltrating or attacking Lebanon — to the pre-emptive war doctrine President George W. Bush formulated to justify the United States invasion of i-rack. “I am against anything pre-emptive, like the wars of ex-U.S. President George Bush,” Mr. Suleiman said, a stinging rebuke in a region where American foreign policy in general and Mr. Bush in particular are deeply unpopular. Mr. Suleiman also said he opposed Hezbollah’s newly avowed plans to help the Syrian government open a front in the Golan Heights, the disputed border area between Syria and Israel. “Who guarantees that Israel does not attack Lebanon?” he said. The missile shipment also threatens to escalate tensions between Israel and Hezbollah. Neither side wants a war now, analysts say, but as the situation grows more volatile they could end up in one through miscalculations, as occurred in 2006. Israel has lobbied Russia not to deliver the S-300 systems to Syria. Defense Minister Moshe Yaalon warned on Tuesday that Israel would view such a move as a threat to it and that it could prompt an Israeli reaction. “The deliveries have not taken place, I can attest to this, and I hope they do not,” Mr. Yaalon said. “If, by some fortune, they arrive in Syria, we will know what to do,” he added. Israel has declared that it will not tolerate the transfer of game-changing weapons from the Syrian government to its ally, the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah, or their fall into rebel hands. Israel is believed to have bombed targets in Syria three times this year, including a convoy of Russian-supplied SA-17 surface-to-air missiles. Yuval Steinitz, Israel’s minister of strategic and intelligence affairs, told an audience of reporters and diplomats in Jerusalem on Tuesday that Israel did not want to get involved in the civil war in Syria and had decided not to ask or encourage the United States or Europe to take any action there, because of the highly complex situation. He said that the Russian S-300 systems were not just defensive weapons but could also be used offensively. With a range of around 125 to 185 miles, he said, they could threaten civilian and military aircraft deep inside Israeli territory. Isabel Kershner contributed reporting from Jerusalem. |

Anbar blows disagreements again Friday, 31 May 2013 14:09 Shafaq News / Activists in Anbar province revealed on Friday, the occurrence of differences and clashes by sticks between protestors and the so-called popular committees in Fallujah. The clashes occurred on the highway in Fallujah, which is the second incident of its kind since as last Friday also witnessed similar clashes. The clashes came on the back ground of demonstrators raising banners calling for the division of the country in the form of regions, which is rejected by many protestors. An activist said in an interview for “Shafaq News” that some of the People's Committees raised the banners, but some protesters refused to do so and the dispute turned into a fight. Most prominent politicians as, Ahmed al-Alwani of al- Iraqiya List demands to form a region in Anbar province to keep the honor of the Sunnis as he said in his last statement to the BBC. Khaled al-Jumaili , a mosque preacher and one of the most prominent leaders of the demonstrations in Fallujah lunched last Friday, a sharp attack on Iraqi politicians, saying that they formed “popular committees” to make it look like it is the demonstrators demand. Demonstrators on the region are divided; it seems so evident through the clashes and fighting with sticks, which took place between demonstrators in the second Friday in a row. Sheikh Abdul-Malik al-Saadi refuses provinces project as also rejected by the Association of Muslim Scholars, which seems to have some influence in Anbar. The Constitution allows the formation of regions in the country, but the Iraqi government says that what some of the protesters demanded is a” sectarian region”. |

Iraq warns Israel from crossing its airspace and threatens to respond Monday, 03 June 2013 11:56 Shafaq News / Iraqi Deputy Prime Minister Hussain al-Shahristani warned on Monday, Israel that Iraq will respond if it violated the country's airspace to carry out its threats to attack Iran. Shahristani said in an interview with “Agence France Presse “ (AFP) briefed by “Shafaq News” that “we warned Israel that if it violated our airspace, they will bear the consequences”. “This issue was discussed at the National Security Council level;” pointing that “Iraq has warned Israel through “states that have relations with it”. In response to a question about the nature of the Iraqi response if Israel carried out its threats to strike Iran over its nuclear program through Iraq, he said that “it is clear that Iraq would not reveal its reaction in order not to allow Israel to take that into account”. Israel has repeatedly warned that it could strike Iran, which maintains strong relations with Iraq, on the background of its controversial nuclear program. In mid of last April, Israeli Chief of Staff General, Benny Gantz confirmed that the Israeli army has the capacity to act alone against Iran's nuclear program. The Supreme Commander of the Iranian Army General, Ayatollah Salehi responded that Iran's regular army is “capable alone” to destroy Israel. |
