Who has the right to monopolize Kurdistan?

The current situation in Kurdistan is alarming!  It is disturbing because Mam Jalal always expresses appreciation towards the Arab Nation and speaks as if he represents the entire Kurdistan. It is disgusting when he bows down in front of the Arab fascist, such as the Arab league’s leader.

It is more abhorrent that Islamic thugs have gained momentum and are allowed to destroy the image of the Kurdish people. Those groups are like cancer; if you don’t cut them out in the early stage they will eat you alive!

It is repulsive that people from the two largest cities Sulaimania and Arbil would not be able to communicate via cell phones. Because Sirwan Barzani owns the Korek (Mobile phone provider), therefore he thinks that he has the monopoly of the city Hawler and its adjacent towns. He has blindly decided whether the people from different parts of the country can communicate or not.

I always have a great respect for Mr. Massoud Barzani; he is calm and very intelligent compared with Mam Jalal. Mr Massoud has great personality and charisma. Why and how he can accept this mafia and gang culture is a mystery.  It is time to eradicate corruption and nepotism; Kurdistan should not become a battleground for private dispute. The Kurdish cities should not be divided and disconnected by rival clans for their own use.

It is loathsome that one can make a phone call from Sulaimania up to Baghdad but not to Hawler, the capital city of Kurdistan.

Both PUK and KDP are responsible for Segmentation of Kurdistan and duplication of all governmental departments and the decay of infrastructure. To eliminate corruption, the Kurdish leaders must start from their own back yard and clean out all the junk.

Kurdish people made huge sacrifice to ouster a tyrant regime, it was not meant to be replaced by another one or two. We have a right to communicate with other people regardless of geographical boundaries or political opinions.
