The Whole World Needs to Support the Iraqi Kurdistan Independence Referendum

I am an ethnic minority from Myanmar. I knew the suffering of ethnic minority not only in Myanmar but also in other countries around the world. I have been reading and studying a lot about the history of the Middle East such as the founding of Israel, the founding of Syria and Iraq and Turkey and how the Kurdish People, the world largest ethnic minority group, lost they country, culture, ethnic identity and how they suffered under the rules of Iraqi leaders and Syrian leaders and Turkey leaders. Every educated people in the world knew the long-suffering of the Kurdish people in Turkey, Iraq and Syria.

Especially the Kurdish people in Iraq have suffered a long brutal treatments under the Iraqi rulers for more than 100 years. Saddam Hussein abused them and tried to wipe out the Kurdish people from the earth by all means using helicopters, fighters jets, bombers, artillery shelling and killing thousands in wars against the Kurds. Even Halabja Massacre was killing agaist the Kurds by chemical agents by Saddam Hussein's regime. Between 3,000 to 5,000 people were killed and about 10,000 were injured on March 16, 1988.  Those killed were mostly innocent civilians and most of them women and children and elderly people. That is the most painful chemical attack the 20th century.

Many thousands of Kurd died for their homeland under Saddam Hussein's regime. Nobody helped and rescued them from the dangers of Saddam Hussien. They died like rats under his regime. UN did not protect them. Neither European Union nor NATO protect them. No Western countries stood up against Saddam Hussien to protect the Kurds in that time. They suffered politically, physically, emotionally, psychologically, mentally and economically. They endured long sufferings from the wrath of Iraqi army. Why the Iraqi government abused the Kurds? Why they violated their rights as a human being? Whey the Kurds wered tortured and killed by the Iraqi armies? Were they their own citizens? The Kurdish people should never forget those stories.

When the ISIS invaded their homeland they stood firmly against the evil ISIS army. No Iraqi government protect the Kurds. Why? Are they their own fellows? Are the Kurds their country's citizens? Why didn't the Iraqi help them by weapons, money, human resources from the dangers ofr the ISIS? It is clear enough that Iraqi government had no concern for the safety and survival of the the Kurdish people at all. Why?

The answer is clear. The Iraqi people didn't like the Kurds. So, why should the Kurds stay with the Iraqi people? Why should KRG stayed with Iraq? Why should Kurdistan be part of Iraq who always tried to destroy the people and the land of Kurdish people?

Kurdish people need to go back and read and reread their own history deeply and ask the questions themselves. Why should the Kurdish people be in Iraq who abused their rights for century? Could the Kurdish people trust the Iraqi people and government after all these years of fighting and killing by the Iraqi government? All atrocities and bullying by the Iraqi army?

The Kurdish people should think and ask for themselves that would the Iraqi government say "Yes" for Kurdish independence? Would the Iraqi government thump for the Kurdish independence referendum? It is clear that Iraq will not thump or say "Yes" to the Kurdish independence movement until the end of the world. So, should the Kurdish people wait until the Iraqi say "Yes" for their independence?

The history is clear. This is the right time and the best time and the greatest opportunity and the golden chance for the Kurdish people to choose their fate and future whether they should be under the the Iraqi government with very little freedom and choices or whether they should decide their future and fate freely?  If the Kurdish people choose independence the Iraq could not win against their wish because all colonies under the British Empire got Independence. Many small countries like Kosovo and East Timor got independence from a very strong governments in their country. Why could not Kurdish people got independence in this time? Even South Sudan got independence from powerful Sudan government. Why could not Kurdistan region get independence?

Freedom, democracy and independence is in the hands of Kurdish people in Iraq. No country other than Iraq itself should involve in the internal affair of Kurdistan region in Iraq. Neither Iran nor Turkey nor Syria has no legitimate authority over Iraq internal affair at all. Iran said they would close their border upon the Kurdistan independence referendum. That is fine. That is up to them. That is their border but Iran has no right at all to interfere in the internal affair of Kurdistan people and their land. Turkey has no right at all.

Nouri al-Maliki, the former Prime Minister and the Vice President of Iraq that "He will not allow the establishment of "another Israel" north of the country through a referendum on the Kurdistan Region's independence from Iraq" in Iraqinews.com. His position is clear. It is Iraqi government's policy and position that Iraq did not allow Kurdish people to decide their future and fate. Iraqi government will use constitution as a weapon not to allow the Kurdish people decide their wills and rights. So, how long the Kurdish will loose their God's given rights to Iraqi regimes? Now the time is come for the Kurdish to decide their own future and write their history.

Kurdistan army Peshmerger and their people need to stand up together for their freedom for the people and their land. They should not be bothered by the the Iran and Iraqi tactics of "fear and intimidation" which is not a working tactic for any people on earth for many thousand of years who want freedom and self determination. The world history proved it. Fear is the most dangerous thing for Kurdistan people right now. Iraq is trying to intimidate the Kurdish people so that they can dominate and manipulate the Kurdish people and their land. Kurdish people need to know Iraqi tactics of divide and rule too. It is the most dangerous political idea for the Kurdish people.

The clear thing is that Iraqi government and army will threaten or make use scare and fear tactics among the Kurdish people to divide them peace by peace and rule them later easily. Burmese government uses this tactics for its own ethnic minority groups and which destroyed the unity among the many ethnic groups. Kurdish leaders must understand all the pressures and cheating tactics of Iraq and stand up against those dangerous idea. All Kurdish people need to unite against Iraq.

The most important things for the Kurdish people are to defend their God's given rights; they need to protect and defend their people and mother's land and need to safe guard their ethnic identity such as their religion, culture, custom, language, music and arts; they need to protect their natural resouces and need to write their own history now and forever until the end of the world. They should not allow any other nations on earth to write the history of their land and people.

Kurdistan people must understand that no British colonies were allow to get independence from the British constitution but the colonies fought for their own freedom to get independence against the British empire. Constitutions of Iraq should not be used as a tool or weapon to blog the right or wills of the Kurdish people since the constitutions are most of the time drafted by the people who are the powerful and the rulers. Kurdistan people must understand that they will never be free from Iraq if they follow the Iraqi constitutions of 2005 or before.

Therefore, the Kurdish people must fight and earn their freedom and decide their future and fate. It is their original and given right and they should take that right sooner than later. Today is the best day for them. This time is the golden chance for them to get independence. Unless they will loose their freedom forever. It is time to defend their forefather's land with blood and sweat.

The whole worlds also need to remember and understand the position of NATO and EU countries when Kosovo declared independence. The NATO and EU supported Kosovo independence. The UNO also needs to understand that clear recent history. When Kosovo declared independence from Serbia, many of EU  countries and NATO countries recognized Kosovo Independence declaration in February 17, 2008.

According to the Wikepedia the whole world know that the following countries already recognized Kosovo independence even though the government of Serbia rejected it vehemently:

As of 27, 2017, the Republic of Kosovo has received 115 diplomatic recognitions as an independent state. Notably, 111 countries out of 193 (57.5%) of the United Nations member states, 23 out of 28 (82%) of European Union (EU) member states, 25 out of 29 (86%) of NATO member states, and 36 out of 57 (63%) Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) member states have recognised Kosovo. Serbia does not recognise it as a sovereign state, but has begun to normalize relations with the Government of Kosovo in accordance with Brussels Agreement. 

Why should not EU and NATO countries recognize Kurdistan Independence referendum? Even NATO bombed Serbia to protect Kosovo. Why should not NATO bomb the Iraq or Iran or Turkey to protect Kurdistan people who were the most persecuted ethnic group in the world for many decades? NATO member countries and EU countries  are too bias in the world's politics. Even UN is too bias a lot of times. If many of the UN member state recognizes they should also recognize the Kurdish independence referendum which is their moral obligation.

Regarding the Kosovo declaration of independence in 2008, the United Nations General Assembly requested the advisory opinion to the International Court of Justice. It was the first case to be brought before the International Court of Justice regarding the declaration of independence by one region or province in a country. The court declared that "the adoption of the declaration of independence of the 17 February 2008 did not violate general international law because international law contains 'no prohibition on declaration of independence.'

The above declaration was delivered on 22 July 2010 by the vote of 10 to 4.

Therefore, the Kurdistan declaration of independence vote on 25 September 2017 does not violate international law and the Kurds should have absolute rights to declare independence from Iraq. This is the internal issue between Baghdad and Erbil. Turkey or Iran or Syria should not interfere in the affairs of Kurdistan independence referendum militarily because that is not their affairs. 

So, the whole worlds are looking right now. What would the NATO do when Kurdish people vote their independence referendum in September 25? What would EU countries do on that day and beyond? If they don't support the Kurdistan independence referendum, it will mean NATO and EU countries are the most bias countries in the world. Time will tell whether they are bias or not or whether they stand up for justice for all!

EU warned that the Iraqi's Kurdistan's planned referendum on independence from Iraq will be "counterproductive," joining world powers opposing the disputed poll. 

EU is too bias now. So, the Kurds should not trust them right now. Israel is the only country that supports the Kurdish independence referendum because they never forgets their history of 2000 years "a nation without a country." Kurdish people are a nation without their own country. Now they need to create their nation on their forefathers' land which they lost to Iraq over one hundred years ago. This is the right time and the best time for them. This may be the only chance Kurdish people have the best opportunity to create their own nation and their own country.

Iraqi government also needs to realize and recognize the truth about the Kurdish history and they cause and they need to grant independence peacefully which will dignify their country. They should grant the right of self determination to the Kurdish people after 100 years of their control. The Iraqi should not choose fighting and violence against the Kurds instead it is better to give them independence peacefully.

 If the Iraqi government does not grant independence to Kurdistan people the struggles of Kurdish people will go one as long as the Kurdish people live until they get their independence in the end. Independence is a natural thing. The Iraqi should realize the reality in their country that Roman Empire grant independence to many countries. The British governments, the most powerful empire in the world history, granted independence to many of their colonies because they were no longer capable of controlling and ruling their colonies. Iraq is not strong like Roman Empire or British Empire. The clear thing is that Iraqi government will grant the independence to Kurdish people one day sooner or later. It is better to grant independence to Kurdish people sooner than later for the sake of their future relationship.

If the Kurdish people choose to get independence from Iraq the whole world needs to support them. NATO countries need to support them. EU countries need to support them. The United States and Russia need to support them. Most of the UNO member countries except Turkey, Iraq, Syria and Iran need to support them. All Arab countries except Syria and Turkey need to support them.

It is important for the Kuridish people they should determine their future and fate. The Kurds should not listen or pay attention to EU or NATO or USA who oppose against the vote for independence referendum. This is their right not the right of EU or NATO or any western countries.

After all,  all minorities around the world who are struggling for their existence and freedom, need to support and stand firmly with the Kurdish people for their independence movement because they are the best example for all ethnic minorities in the world who are suffering right now in their own countries under the regimes of their countries.

In fact, Kurdistan independence is a symbol of freedom, democracy and self determination ethnic minority. We, all ethnic minority groups around the world, are happy and proud of the Kurdistan independence movement which is our symbols also. Kurdish people should never give up their independence movement until they are given their God's given original right. They need to stand up against all the odds and forces against them.

It is clear nos that Syria, Iran, Iraq and Turkey will never want the strong and united Kurdish people and they will never want to grant the freedom and self determination to the Kurds. So, the strong army of KRG, Peshmerger, who are the symbols of freedom and justice for Kurdistan people, need unite under the leadership of KRG's leaders and fight all their enemies who are trying to destroy them.

I strongly endorse. support and pray for Kurdish independence referendum so that peace can be restored by all parties. We all need to pray for peace and justice for Kurdistan people.

A tawinak in chim ahcun, mi bawm kho ding le pechan kho dingmi dirhmun ah um ko nain, mi bawmh le pekchanh a duhlo i mah ca lawng aa ruatmi nakin, midang caah a pechanmi le nun siangmi tu hi an i lawm deuh ko tiah an ti. 

Cucaah minung kong cawngmi scientist nih an timi cu, "Transcendental leaders support the benefits of giving" tiah an ti. Lai holh in cun, "Thlarau lungput a ngeimi hruaitu nih cun, pek lei ah hin miaknak a um ko tiah an ruah i, an cawnpiaknak zong cu bantuk cu a si" ti duhnak a si. "Transcendental leaders" timi cu "thlarau hi taksa he a dang deuh tein a um ko" tinak a si.

Science lei zong nih an hmuhmi cu, midang peklei ah hin lawmhnak a um taktak ko timi zong an hmuh. Khuaruahhar a simi cu, thlarau lei hruaitu tam deuh nih cun, midang peknak le thenhnak kong hi an cawnpiaknak ah an telh chih peng ti a si.  

Tahchunhnak ah, Buddha bata ah an i tlaihmi tlaihtleng pakhat cu "thil hi pakhat le khat an i tlai" (dependent origination) timi hi a si. Dalai Lama nih, "Minung pakhat aa lawmhnak hi, midang an i lawmhnak he aa pehtlai" tiah a ti. Dalai Lama nih Ethics for New Millennium cauk ah, "Lunglawmhnak hi thilri in aa thawk lo;n chunglei lungthin tak tein in thukpi in midang i lawm ve hna seh timi zawnruahnak ngeihnak in aa thawk" tiah a ti. Dalai Lama nih a hmuhtonmi cu, "Minung pakhat nih midang herhbaunak kha ruat lo in, amah nuamhnak lawngte a ruahnak nih, a pumpak caah zungzal nuamhnak ngeih dingmi kha a kham" tiah a ti. 

Cucaah India ram zalawnnak pa timi Mahatama Gandhi nih, mah le mah hi zeitindah kan i theih khawh bik ti ahcun hitin a si: "Nangmah le nangmah kha na theih khawh bik nak ding cu, midang caah na tuanmi rian zoh in theih khawh bik a si" tiah a ti. Midang caah zeitluk dah ka pek? Zeitluk dah ka sian timi tu hi, minung sinak tahfung a rak si ko. 

Martin Luther King Jr., zong nih hin, midang pekchanh hi zeitluk in dah man a ngeih timi kha a rak chim tawn. A thawngtha chimmi a tha bik pakhat "The Drum Major Instinct" timi ah King nih a chimmi cu, "Pumpak lianhngannak le midang ca riantuannak hi a chungmuru ahcun aa tlai dih" tiah a ti. Duhfah hakhauhnak le mahzawn lawng ruahnak ruangah, ram khat le ram khat raltuknak in a khatmi vawlei ah hin, a tha bikmi drum (khuang) sinak ding caahcun, pumpak thatnak kha hlawt i midang ca riantuan le a dinfelnak (justice) tuah hi a si ko" tiah a ti. "Mi vialte mi lianngan si khawh a si, zeicatiah mi vialte nih midang caah rian an tuah khawh caah a si" tiah a ti ve.  

Hi bia hi, King nih a Krihfabu Atlanta's Ebenezer Baptist Church ah a rak chim. Biapi taktak a a chimmi cu, "Keimah cu midang nih fawi tein ka thei zungzal hna sehlaw ti kan duhmi cu-midang bawmh aa zuammi pa a si; midang ca riantuanmi a si; midang pek a duhmi a si" ti hi a si ko rak ti. Thawngtha a chim dih hnu thla hnih ah King cu meithal in an kah i a thi. King nih ramkip theihmi hruaitu ngan a si nak hi Nobel Prize a hmuh ruang ah silo in, "Midang ca riantuan duhnak nunnak a ngeihmi ruang tu ah a si."  

Peknak hi, nun siannak in aa thawk. Bible nih a kan cawnpiakmi cu "Nun va siang law na rum lai" ti a si (Phungthluk 11:25). "Tinsih chih in nun le khiarhcar tu hi chamhbaunak a si" (Phung 11:24). Nun a siang lo mi cu hmuh lei lawng an duh. Hmuh chin lengmang an duh. A chuak lei an siang lo. Nun a siangmi cu an ngeih lo zong ah an siang ko. Nun siangmi cu, an siang i an pek. An pek i an i  lawm. An i lawm i an pek chinchin. Cuticun an i lawm deuhdeuh. "An ngeih ruang theng ah an pek silo in, peknak ah hin, lawmhnak a um" timi kha an fian caah a si. Cucaah, an ngeih zong ah an pek hna i, an ngeihlo chin te zong an pek ko hna. 

Hnek chawm tuk in pek ahcun lawmhnak a um lo. Siang tein pek lawngah lawmhnak a um. Cucaah cheuhra cheukhat siseh, biakinn ca siseh, thawhlawm siseh, thawhbur siseh, khua, tlang le ram ca ah siseh "siang te le lungtho" te in pek a tha. Siannak le lungthawhnak um lo pek cu, kan pek ko nain, lawmhnak a um. Kan pek cia cung ah, ngaihchiatnak le lungnuamhlonak tu a chuak. Pekmi zong an i lawm lo. Pathian zong aa lawm hlei lai lo. 

Siannak lungthin ngeih hi peknak ah a herh bikmi a si. Siannak lungthin ngei lo in tuahmi cu, thil tha a rak si lo. Thluachuahnak zong a silo. Zeicatiah siannnak lungthin ngeih cu thluachuahnak a si (Phung. 22:9). Cucaah nun sian a hau. Pumpak in chungkhar in khua tiang nih nun sian a hau. Cun Krihfabu zong nun a siangmi Krihfabu a si a herh. Krihfabu zong a khiarmi Krihfabu cu chawva a ngeih le a rum hmanh ah, thlarau leiah sifak an si. Cucu philhlo a hau. 

A khiarcar tukmi cu, mi thenhpek zong an siang lo. Biaknak, khua le sang le zawl ca zong ah pek an siang lo. Sifak santlailo pek zong an siang lo. Acheu cu an mah ca zong hloh an siang lo. Cu bantuk mikhiar cu mi sifak an rak si. Mirang phungthluk ah "Vawleicung sifak bik cu a khiar bimi khi an si ko" ti a si. Khiarh i hman sian lo cang ahcun sifah a si ko cang. 

Si khiarh le nun sian lo te hna hi lungthin sualnak phun khat an si. Bible ah, Lazarus le Mirum pa tuanbia kan theih dih. Mirum pa kha Lazarus cungah sualnak le chiatnak pakhat hmanh a tuah bak lo. Asinain a rum ko nain, pekchanh a sianlo caah le sifak zaangfahnak a ngeihlo caah "lungput sualnak" (moral sin) a tuah. Cucaah a comi cu Hell asi ti kan hmuh. Sifak santlailo zawnruahnak ngeihlo te hna hi, lungthin sualnak pakhat a si i, lawmhlonak a rak si. Cathiang nih a kan cawnpiakmi cu "Lunglawmmi si duh ahcun mi sifak kha va zaangfah hna" (Phung 14:21) ti a si. Sifak santlailo zaangfah te hna lawmhnak a si. 

Mirum tampi cu, tangka an ngei ko nain an i lawm kho lo. A ruang cu, an haak a kau. Mah karkalak huih le mah cangai khoih in an tang. Sualnak an tuah lo zongah, nun an sian lo i pekchanh an sian lo ahcun, an caah lawmhlonak a si. Mirummi hna caah an i lawmhnak ding lam pakhat cu, midang pek le sifak bawmh hi a si. Rum ruang ah lawmh a si lo. Midang ca nun ruangtu ah lawmh deuh a si. Cucaah "Tangka nih lawmhnak a caw kho lo" (Money cannot buy happiness) tiah an ti nak a si. Tangka in zeitik hmanh ah lawmhnak cawk va tim hlah. Na caw kho bal lai lo. Na ngeihmi hnihkhatte tu hawi nun va hrawmh hna law na lawm deuh ko lai. 

Cucaahcun Jesuh nih, "Hmuh lei nakin pek lei ah lunglawmhnak a um deuh" tiah a timi hi, Jesuh nih a liamcia kum 2000 deng ah a rak chimmi a si nain, tu chan science nih a dik bak tiah an ti cang. Psychologist nih a dik tiah an pawm i, mifimmi le hruaitu tampi nih an pawm. Cucaah hi bia a fiangmi cu, an si a khiar kho lo. An rum zong ah an pek i, an si a fah zong ah "Nuhmeinu chawpek in an pek thiamthiam ko." 

Cucaah lawmh na duh ahcun, midang asiloah Krihfabu le bu dangdang caah pek va zuam law na lawm ko lai. Khualtlung mileng kha va thenpe ko hna. Khual sunghar kha va pe ko hna. Sifak santlailo, innlongeilo, mizawfak, thawngtla, hmeinu hmeipa le ngaktah buangro kha va pe ko hna. Lihnin, innkang meitet, thlichia, tilian meisul a tongmi hna caah va pe ko. Abikin na sia a herhmi kha va pe ko hna. 

Na pek tikah a kir than ding ruahchannak in va pe hlah. Hmuh than ding le thluachuah hmuh ruah ah va pe hlah. A kir than lo ding le hmuh than ti lo dingmi ruahchannak he, siannak in va pe ko. Na pek tik ah midang caah thatnak um sehlaw, an i lawmhnak si ve seh tiah, dawtnak le siaherhnak te he va pe ko hna. Na siaherhmi kha va pe hrimhrim ko hna. Cu ti na tuah ahcun na ngaichih bak lai lo. Hihi va philh hlah. Siannak lungthin he pekchanhnak nih nangmah kha an thlen khawh i, vawleipi zong a thlen khawh. 

Pek kan ti tikah, tangka, tiirawl le thilri lawng a si lo. An herhnak ah bawmhnak in, caan, thazaang, hmurka le ruahnak zong a si ve ko. Aphunphun pek khawh a si. Mi nih a ken pek bang in midang zong pek ve le hrawmh ve a herh. Nun hrawmh le nunnak chang cheuh a biapi tuk. Cucu lawmhnak hrampi taktak a rak si.  

Asi ahcun lawmh na duh maw? 

Na duh ahcun "Midang caah rian va tuan law, mi dang kha va then hna le va pe ve hna. Cucun na lawm chin lengmang lai. Zeicatiah "Hmuh lei nakin pek lei ah lawmhnak a um deuh" caa a si!!!
