Hikmat abdulqadr – Activists
The authority of the Kurdistan Region resembles a ship caught in the middle of a storm. Its captain—unaware of the roaring fire of discontent in the streets and cities—clings tightly to the helm, unwilling to change course, steering only toward his own interests. But this is not the president of a people—this is the president of a family.
Power in the Kurdistan Region has taken on a completely familial and dynastic structure. Those who have seized control do so not in the name of the people, nor in the name of public service, but in the name of themselves, their clan, and their family wealth. They consider themselves the rightful owners of the land, while the people are treated like beggars.
The ship is sinking into deep waters.
The president might issue orders—but we will rewrite the future in the streets. If the same power, the same corruption, and the same families remain, this region is headed toward an irreversible collapse.
The teacher struggles with a meager salary. The patient dies without treatment or medication. The youth flee their homeland, stripped of hope and future.
From top government posts to oil companies, banks, trade, and property—everything has swiftly been handed over to the names of their clans. The province, the bank, the department—it’s all one family.
The oil has either been looted or sold.
It was never for the people. It was never for services, schools, or hospitals—but for villas, fashion-model daughters, exclusive neighborhoods, and VIP boulevards.
The people have been forgotten.
