Hundreds Displaced by Kurdistan Clashes

Iran major offensive against rebel Kurdish bases in Iraq

AFP: Fighting between Iranian military forces and Kurdish separatists has displaced hundreds of villagers in the border regions of northern Iraq, the Red Cross said on Monday. In addition, Iranian shelling killed two villagers and wounded two others before dawn in Sidakan district, some 100 kilometres (60 miles) northeast of Arbil, said Ismail Maqsud, head of the city's Souran hospital. Iran launched a major offensive Saturday against rebel Kurdish bases in Iraq in which eight of its own elite Revolutionary Guards were killed. The separatist Party of Free Life of Kurdistan, or PJAK, said it had lost two fighters >>>

 I fully agree that at this point in time the military balance of power is in regime's favour, hence armed uprising is the wrong approach (To my understanding the Kumaleh has not disbanded their peshmargas. They are just not active at this point in time....). I think you are aware of my admiration for the resistance the kurdish people have been demonstrating, in form of mass strikes, etc. Regardless of the Pejak's incorrect approach (I dont know how many hundreds of fighters they have...), the attack was initiated by the regime, under the pretext of crushing the PJAK. In this case, self defence is no offence.

تشدید فضای امنیتی حاکم بر شهر سنندج

طبق
خبر دریافتی از سنندج، روز دوشنبه 3 مردادماه فضای حاکم بر این شهر به
بهانه تشیع جنازه کشته شدگان رژیم در درگیری های اخیر مرزی، به شدت امنیتی
شده بود.

خبر
دریافتی حاکی است ماموران رژیم به بهانه تشیع جنازه کشته شدگان درگیری های
اخیر مرزی بخش های مرکزی شهر سنندج از جمله "خیابان شاهپور به طرف میدان
انقلاب" را مسدود نمودند که مشکلاتی را برای ترافیک شهر بوجود آورده بود.

در این روز شهر سنندج چهره ای کاملا نظامی به خود گرفته بود. رژیم از
چند روز قبل اقدام به ایجاد پست های نگهبانی در گوشه و کنار شهر از جمله
جلوی دادگستری در میدان اقبال و میدان انقلاب نموده بود تا کنترل اوضاع
امنیتی را در دست داشته باشد.

RG: PJAK is not an Iranian Kurdish formation. All Iranian Kurdish parties have asked them not to conduct operations in Iran. What did you think about  the second comment on this blog?

Why is it that when our Iranian Kurdish brothers and sisters raise arms to defend themselves from the vali Faghi's gangs of bassij murderers, they become terrorists, but the gangs of child killers on payroll of the chubby boy hassan nassrullah's hezbullah, "freedom fighters fighting zionist oppressors"?

DK, Reza shah was aligning himself with Nazis too! oops!

by Disenchanted on Mon Jul 25, 2011 02:54 PM PDT

 

        It would be interesting to see how you being a defender of monarchs and ostensibly a defender of the Zionists try to reconcile these two with the following fact. Of course denying the fact that Reza shah had any such intentions is the easy way out. But it's hard to egt the people to buy it! Here is the quote from Wiki on Reza shah: 

The British left the Shah a face-saving way out:[45]

“ Would His Highness kindly abdicate in favour of his son, the heir to the throne? We have a high opinion of him and will ensure his position. But His Highness should not think there is any other solution. ”

The invasion was allegedly in fear that Reza Shah was about to align his petroleum-rich country with Nazi Germany during the war

       ...not sure it's the hat or the fact that you keep reminding us of our "lost glory" :-)

        There is nothing wrong with advocating monarchy as long as you guys remain a minority! :-) Admittedly it's still better than those who advocate MEK! You don't. do you bro? ;-)

        I don't know Sahar TV but you admit my likeminds never could show up on IRI TV!

       denying Holocaust is absurd and I am afraid same is your analogy between IRAN/TURKEY to Israel!

      Can't we all get along by using a bit common sense? :-)

تعطیل کردن پروژه های عمرانی به بهانه ناامن بودن کردستان

//iranian.com/main/news/2011/07/23-16

PJAk is effectively playing into IR's hand, as an excuse for "Armed Resistance." Tis 'armed' struggle is being waged by such groups before its approperiate time and place,  Many local parties have reminded them that armed tactics are not approperiate at this juncture, but political mobilization and tactics like General Strike seem to have a lot more mass appeal. Kurdestan alone can not be liberated, no single region in the country can sustain a liberated territory. We've experienced all this thiry some years ago. Liberation is a national project, macro and long tem. Sepah's casualties are much higher than they claim.
