A question and A Focus!
Muhamad Ibrahem – Activist
Seriously, after 34 years of rule by the PDK and the PUK, what stage are we in?
Are we at a critical stage where, due to a complicated political situation, these parties are calling for the establishment of (a political council) under the supervision of Masoud Barzani? Or is it that they aim to gradually destroy the courts, the parliament, and established legal institutions so that political decisions in Southern Kurdistan become completely dominated?”
A dictator’s power is always maintained through creating crises and imaginary enemies, extending his rule over time. He indulges in self interest and cannot foster a healthy economic or social life for the people, because at that time the people are busy with their own lives, their desires, concerns, and high demands.
They are alert to the services and necessities of life, so the dictator sees this as a threat and cannot manipulate the psychology of the society. Therefore, he resorts to harsh measures to control life, aiming to break society.
Therefore, society has a great responsibility at this point, it needs to engage in political thought and make everything political for itself. It must question and doubt whether these crises are the result of the political structures created by these two families. We must be aware that if a limit is not set on the political arrogance of these two families, the political, economic, and social crises will continue to grow day by day.
We must, without fear or hesitation, face these questions and crises, and hold accountable the expanding institutions, in order to see a path toward solutions and to show, as a conscious society, that we will not accept political injustice.
The Kurds living abroad, in this free environment outside the country, have an even greater responsibility. They must also be more alert and vigilant, recognizing that while we rely on the functioning of the Kurdistan Parliament and its institutions, we do not, in any way, need a political council controlled by these families.
