Newroz Celebrated with Flags

Mar 26, 2007

Why is that, that a day like Newroz is celebrated with flags which shows what your political opinions are, why does the people of Kurdistan feel a need to have pictures of Serok Barzani no matter what they are celebrating?

I have tried to understand, to find a connection between The Barzani family, PDK and Newroz but without success. There is not any thing that brings the Kurdish New Year together with our leader Masoud Barzani. With all respect, Masoud Barzani's father Mala Mustafa Barzani was and will always be remembered as a big man, but why do the people of Kurdistan exaggerate their tribute?

There is no need to hang pictures of our leaders on every wall; there is no need to hang their pictures anywhere at all. I have lived in Sweden almost all my life and I have never ever seen even a little picture of their leader at any home.

This is how dictators are born, with help of exaggerated tribute and peoples madness. This hysteria reminds me of the old Iraq, where behind every corner there was picture of Saddam Hussein to behold, but the humor in this is that the leader does not demand that from the people, this is their choice by them self.

People likes to be oppressed, the whole middle-east should be cleaned from people and allow new waves of thinking and new morale ideas has to be given more space than today’s population who enjoys to be oppressed, you people give your leaders more power than what they already have.  You should immediately stop with that and spend energy on your closest and beloved instead, those who really do something for you, those who actually loves you and would not hesitate to go through poorness, sickness and all kinds of misery just for the best of you.

The only day of the year that we should see Barzani honored are only on PDK’s anniversary day. It’s not the Barzani family that has given birth to the Kurdish people, it’s the Kurdish people that has given birth to them.
