Shame on goran. From a concerned young Kurd.

A reminder to the people of Kurdistan
A reminder to the people of Kurdistan
I’d like to start by pointing out the fact that Mr. Nawshirwan Mustafa has put forward decent demands which are to fight corruption and decentralize the economy of Kurdistan; however Mr. Mustafa has also made the demand that the Kurdish parliament should dissolve which I believe is completely out of line, because the KRG elections had worldwide recognition as a fair elections without any significant fraud and so I don’t understand on what basis the Goran party can demand that the government to be dissolved; in this case Goran is the undemocratic party. The recent unrest in mostly in the Suleymanya province which again adds to the fact that the current government which enjoys overwhelming support in Duhok and Erbil has been voted in democratically and so I have to ask Goran, would it be democratic to ignore the will of the people of Erbil, Duhok and significant amount of Suleymanya?
I have some questions for the leadership of Goran and indeed their supporters; first off all I’d like to state that the majority of Goran members are ex-PUK members. Mr. Mustafa you were a senior member of the PUK until 2006, as I recall the PUK is the same party it was in 91 and if you complain about ‘corruption’ what took you so long to leave and demand ‘change’? You were a senior leader of the PUK throughout the dark days of civil war, why did you not demand change then? Kurdistan is much better off now than it was before you left the PUK and demanded change again what took you so long? To me it seems that you had no problems being a senior leader of the PUK when the PUK and KDP were bitter rivals however your issues began when the PUK and KDP achieved peace with each other and they achieved unity (This unity was indeed necessary for Kurds to have the power they did in Baghdad). To me it seems that Goran prefers division among Kurds unless of course they rule Kurdistan, this brings me to the conclusion that Goran is not at all concerned about the average person of Kurdistan but rather they are concerned with the lack of power that Goran has.
I’d like to discuss the pros and cons of the current Kurdish government and what they have achieved. People in Kurdistan constantly complain about the lack of electricity however Kurdistan has more electricity than the rest of Iraq, also people seem to forget that Kurdistan was a war zone a ‘no mans zone’ and so there was lack infrastructure in Kurdistan. From 1991-2003 Kurdistan was under international sanctions and Iraqi sanctions which mean that it was very difficult to improve the situation of Kurdistan. From 2003-present the KRG has successfully drastically improved the economy of Kurdistan in all sectors (Infrastructure, energy and tourism etc); although there still is a lack of electricity, the people of Kurdistan need to understand that something as expensive and time consuming as building up the electrical infrastructure of Kurdistan is not something that would happen overnight as (explained above) the KRG had to start from scratch. As the Energy sector of Kurdistan improves the Electricity of Kurdistan will improve and people need to have patience.
We all know that there are some very important issues that Kurds face; the case of the disputed area is not one that only affects the people of the Kurdistan region as the Kurds in the disputed areas are very eager to join Kurdistan and prosper like the provinces of Kurdistan. I believe it was very wrong and selfish of the opposition parties to run in separate lists in the disputed areas as we lost influence in Kirkuk (The total opposition votes would have gained Kurds more seats in Kirkuk), it’s not fair on the Kurdish population in the disputed areas, so again I ask what is the real intention of Goran? There is a saying ‘United we stand, divided we fall’ and this is the case everywhere in fact the Brits used the divide and conquer very successfully and built an empire based on this principle. Kurdish people had more seats in the central government in the previous government because they were united, however in the new government the Kurdish lists were divided and so we lost seats and the influence that we had. This is a very crucial time for the people of Kurdistan as now that a new Iraq is being created we must plant our roots deep to protect the freedom that we are enjoying, we must stay united to achieve this.
Throughout history Kurdish people have always fought each other and a quick look at the situation of Kurdish people today and indeed throughout our history will show that Kurdish people were the only ones losing out from the inter fighting. We must stay united and strong.
In conclusion while I agree that we need to tackle corruption in Kurdistan I must remind the Kurdish people that we are not an independent state and the more divided we are the weaker we are. There are certain groups (whether internal or external) that would like to see the destruction of Kurdistan and so this is not the time to destabilize Kurdistan, there is a time and place for everything and I don’t believe that this is the time for the current unrest in Kurdistan.

SHAME ON GORAN
SHAME ON GORAN
Shame on you goran! you are creating un-necessary problems for kurds in a very critical time! in a time where kurds are negotiating for their future! this time is very crucial for kurds as a nation, we must forge ourselves into the political system before Iraq gets back on their feet. Mr newshirwan you have not changed one bit, you are still the man you were when you were with the PUK, your mentality has not changed one bit, what has changed is the power you held which is what made you angry, you are power hungry! and will stop at nothing to get it. It's quite amusing becuase all of your moves are not original. Your party name 'change' you got from obama, and the protests from the Arab world. SHAME ON YOU.
Goran and it's supporters I have some questions for you.
Goran you complain about fraud and corruption. As far as I'm aware you have been a part of PUK until 2007, and I'm very sure that there has been corruption from 91 onwards (even earlier) so what has changed? is this your backward mentality?
1. You run in the Kurdish elections with. You then accepted the results, how can you now call the government to resign? who is the undemocratic party here?
2. You run separately in the Iraqi elections, you lost us seats in Kirkuk and so you lost us the influence needed to get Kirkuk back. If that was now enough you then withdrew from the Kurdistani alliance and again lost influence in Baghdad, was that necessary? you need to sort your problems out in Erbil not Baghdad.
3. You know very well that Kurdistan is surrounded by enemies. Why are you creating instability? you know very well that there are certain groups just waiting for an opportunity like this to sneak into Kurdistan and abuse the situation.
It is said that Goran leader met with the Iranians Quds force . If this is not enough Goran in Baghdad demanded to change the status of the peshmerga and demanded that the Iraqi government don't pay for the peshmerga shame on you goran, shame on you! how can you dispute the peshmerga? the defenders of Kurdistan? you should be ashamed of yourself, what about all the martyrs that fought for this status that we have today? why are you feeding lies to the uneducated youth of Kurdistan? do they know how you are going against Kurds in Baghdad?
There is news that there are Iranians agents deployed to Kurdistan. This is may be the reason that there has been unrest in slemani. It's quite sad.
It's all coming into place now:-
1. Unknown gunmen shoot at KDP HQ
2. Unknown gunmen burn Goran HQ
3. Unknown gunmen burn Student party HQ
4. Unknown gunmen burn TV HQ
Seems like the destabilizing is to Irans benefit. Why is america silent? becuase the KDP-PUK are pro-USA, and that's what Iran does not like... perfect opportunity for iran.
I don't know who started shooting first, but I DO know that the HQ was shot too.

The unfair Iraqi elections
Yeah I know this is sort of overdue but I believe we must know! I did some simple mathematics and found some interesting statistics. Please note I did this while the results were still coming so it's 95% accurate.
This shows how unfairly the seats were divided:
Governorate-seats-registered voters-votes needed for 1 seat
Anbar 14 802,000 57,286
Babil 16 961,000 60,063
Baghdad 68 4,599,000 67,632
Basra 24 1,466,000 61,083
Dahuk 10 574,000 57,400
Dhi Qar 18 993,000 55,166
Diyala 13 840,000 64,615
Erbil 14 917,000 65,500
Karbala 10 564,000 56,400
Kirkuk 12 787,000 65,583
Maysan 10 561,000 56,100
Muthanna 7 379,000 54,143
Najaf 12 696,000 58,000
Ninewa 31 1,702,000 54,903
Qadisiyah 11 619,000 56,273
Salaheddin 12 696,000 58,000
Sulaymaniyah 17 1,098,000 64,588
Wassit 11 638,000 58,000
Total 310 18,892,000 60,942
Now what we see is that Baghdad, Basra, Diyala, Erbil, Kirkuk and as Sulaymaniyah are underrepresented. Three multi-ethnic governorates, one Shi'a and one Kurdish one, or if you want to be precised, 2 Shi'a, 1 Sunni and 2 Kurdish governorates.
This however means 1 out of 9 (or 2 out of 10) Shi'a governorates are underrepresented, 1 out of 4 Sunni governorates are underrepresented and 3 out of 4 Kurdish governorates are undrrepresented.
On average 60,942 Iraqi votes = 1 seat
On average 63,698 Kurdish votes = 1 seat
On average 60,374 Arab votes = 1 seat
In reality this is even worse as the Kurdish turnout was much higher.
So far there have been 9,871,962 Iraqi votes including 2,323,523 Kurdish and 7,548,439 Arab votes
Currently Arabs are projected to get 255 seats and Kurds 55 seats
That means 29,601 Arab votes = 1 seat
And 42,246 Kurdish votes = 1 seat
It means 1 Arab's vote is worth 1.5x as much as a Kurd's vote. 2 Arab votes are worth 3 Kurdish votes.
It reminds me of Lebanon's undemocratic system were 1 Christian vote is worth 3 Muslim votes (with 600K registered Christian and 1.8 milion registered Muslim votes), a system which has been rigged to give a quart of the population half of the seats.

I dislike goran becuase they have cost kurds a seat in kirkuk, kurds should have held 63% of kirkuks seats (8 seats) but due to arab cheating and goran/islamic parties playing around we lost valuable seats in kirkuk. It's obvious kurds are a majority in kirkuk based on the 2005 referendum which I'm positive the arab and turkmen said no to (as they are anti-kurdish)
This were the results in Kirkuk -
This shows how unfairly the seats were divided:

Welcome to my blog!
The young kurds union, a union for all kurds, well anyone is welcome off course including kurdistanis (Kurds,Assyrians,Turkmen,Arabs). We the young kurds are the future generation of kurdistan and it's up to us to keep up and improve what has been began! I just want to start off by giving a bit of information about myself.
I'm a kurdish male 19 years old at the moment and on a mechanical engineer course, I have great interest in politics, specifically kurdish politics. I have been reading about kurdish politics from the early days to present, I see a trend in young kurds who seem to blame everyone but kurds for the failure of achieving a kurdish state, well as far as I know the kurds were ruled by local tribe men and shaikhs who were not necessarily very smart politically and made very stupid decisions, this is not to say that we should only blame our self but we played our part in self destruction too, anyways I believe that we should not focus too much on the past and focus more on the future.
We all know that money spins the world around. What makes money? well it's obvious some countries have resources and some offer services, for example a country like suadia Arabia which has a decent economy fuled purely by oil income, and on the other side there are countries with no oil like the UK for example, the UK however offer services by means of getting paid to give their knowledge, what I mean is the UK is a technologically advanced country. The UK offers many services such as telecommunication,banking,oil companies etc. Now let's get back to kurdistan, we all know that kurds sits on a lot of oil (an estimated 45 billion barrels of oil and 100-200 TCF of gas) but the problem is that we the kurds don't have the technology to use this oil so we have to pay companies to do it for us, although this is not that bad of an option for us as kurds (I will explain later on). We must find a balance in which we can handle a small amount of our oil and take small steps to taking over the load.
Sometimes however there are some exceptions for example kurdistan is in constant need of international backing simply becuase we are landlocked, and like I said money spins the world and so by offering business deals to countries like the UK and USA we are able to receive backing simply becuase these companies would not like to lose on their investments. This year two big american companies invested in kurdistans oil, I was very happy about that becuase it's another sign that shows this time kurdistan will not see another anfal. Having said that, the right approach for kurdistan is to offer greats deals in return for international backing and recognition, this will put us on the map!

I'm a kurdish male 19 years old at the moment and on a mechanical engineer course, I have great interest in politics, specifically kurdish politics. I have been reading about kurdish politics from the early days to present, I see a trend in young kurds who seem to blame everyone but kurds for the failure of achieving a kurdish state, well as far as I know the kurds were ruled by local tribe men and shaikhs who were not necessarily very smart politically and made very stupid decisions, this is not to say that we should only blame our self but we played our part in self destruction too, anyways I believe that we should not focus too much on the past and focus more on the future.
We all know that money spins the world around. What makes money? well it's obvious some countries have resources and some offer services, for example a country like suadia Arabia which has a decent economy fuled purely by oil income, and on the other side there are countries with no oil like the UK for example, the UK however offer services by means of getting paid to give their knowledge, what I mean is the UK is a technologically advanced country. The UK offers many services such as telecommunication,banking,oil companies etc. Now let's get back to kurdistan, we all know that kurds sits on a lot of oil (an estimated 45 billion barrels of oil and 100-200 TCF of gas) but the problem is that we the kurds don't have the technology to use this oil so we have to pay companies to do it for us, although this is not that bad of an option for us as kurds (I will explain later on). We must find a balance in which we can handle a small amount of our oil and take small steps to taking over the load.
Sometimes however there are some exceptions for example kurdistan is in constant need of international backing simply becuase we are landlocked, and like I said money spins the world and so by offering business deals to countries like the UK and USA we are able to receive backing simply becuase these companies would not like to lose on their investments. This year two big american companies invested in kurdistans oil, I was very happy about that becuase it's another sign that shows this time kurdistan will not see another anfal. Having said that, the right approach for kurdistan is to offer greats deals in return for international backing and recognition, this will put us on the map!
