Please don't type in all CAPS, it's the equivalent to YELLING, let alone hard to read, thank you.
Hello Kurdo,
Love the photos. Don't let a single cannibal crash your party next Sunday in Kurdistan! Also if you can arrange it,I would really like to hear about a couple hundred arrests of the various bloody Ansars before the election as Santa was not as nice as usual this year.

what a selfish people..your countrymen are getting killed in the south of irak and you are partying ?
selfish and idiots
Fuck you Arab Night, And Fuck Iraq. There NOT our country men. I hope that the chaos in the South continues, for everyday you fuck up your country ours gets better.
Anway, Kurdo great pics, I love the third pic with Mam Jalal and the guy in boot. That's funny man
Great pics, but I have to say that Medya is a great photographer, too. Everyone should check out his photoblog.
The first voter casted his vote in Australia he is a kurd ! very very happy man !
imro Saz w doul ..if I got it right !
We always party when the southerners are having problems as it means that they dont have time to gas us...Anywaywho the hell says we are part of iraq anymore
Lots of Kurds in Nashville, Tenn.
I must say, though, that those of us in Minnesota scoff and sneer at your tiny little snow storms.
thanks anon
i had tears when i read this:
"In Osman's shop, there is a map above the register that shows northern Iraq labeled ''Kurdistan,'' a country that exists only in the hearts of the Kurds"
Nice photos, Kurdo. I like the statues
in Sulaimani Park. Would give me the creeps, if I was walking by them late at night. Where are the beautiful Kurdish women, though?
Arab_knight, the people getting killed in the south are honored ONLY if the election is successful, because it will prove the lies of the terrorists. In that, the Kurds in these pictures are giving some meaning to those dead and maimed.
Freedom is always bought with the most valuable coin, the blood of the courageous.
Those are such beautiful pictures. Such normal people! Why can't the Kurd's neighbors be normal like them? I must visit Kurdistan one day. I hope to do that within 10 years.
Really great pictures - thanks. God bless you. This is damn exciting. Happy to see all the smiling faces. Stay safe.
Iraqi Election Projected Results
from Debka
For elections held now, Hooker projects the following figures:
The Shiite Unified Iraqi Alliance list – 43.8% = 120 national assembly seats.
The Kurdish list – a surprising 36.4% (more than twice their 16-18% proportion of the general population) = 100 seats.
The Iraqi National Accord – 8.1% = 22 seats. (A formula is being actively sought to retain him as premier even if his showing is low.)
The Iraqi Communist party (the best organized) – 1.6% = 5 seats.
All the Assyrian, Turkomen and Yazdi minorities together – 4 seats.
All the rest – 5 seats.
Kurds and Sistani wiping each other's
backsides (from DEBKA). . .
The Kurds owe their projected big win to three prime causes:
1. The union of the two principal lists, which will help them carry districts in which each faction is fragmentary, like Iraq’s second largest town of Mosul and certain quarters of Baghdad.
2. Major concessions by Sistani in Kirkuk, where he endorsed the transfer of tens of thousands of Kurdish voters into the city. Quietly underway at this moment is the largest demographic transformation in Iraq since the war began, an abrupt reversal of the population displacement conducted by Saddam Hussein. Sunni families are being pushed out of Kirkuk to the Sunni Triangle and replaced by incoming Kurds. Turkomen, Assyrians and Yazdis gnash their teeth but have not the power to interfere in the Kurdish takeover of the mixed city.
3. Another key Sistani concession was his consent to local elections taking place in Kurdish regions for a Kurdish na
cont. . .for a Kurdish national assembly at the same time as the general election. In return, the Kurdish leaders have granted Sistani a powerful tool of government, a promise to join his Unified Iraqi Bloc in a coalition administration.
The Shiite cleric has little to fear from this alliance. He knows the Kurds are only interested in expanding their own self-government and will therefore not muscle in on the central administration with power-sharing demands. Their backing, however, provides insurance for stable Shiite-dominated government in the long term.
The Sunni Muslim minority can hardly be expected to sit still as the Shiites and Kurds split up the post-war spoils of power.
These pictures telling the innocent braves in the killing fields you are not forgotten still in our hearts and we clebrate for you too !
and the big celebration is the long march towards freedom and dignity and fulfilling over 80 years of our dream starting with the first step !
Kurdistan Parties know something about campaign. KUP used a child on the election poster to embrace their purity. The Kurdistan Alliance applied posters on the bus, one of the modern advertising methods using vehicles!
Hi Kurdo,
Thanks for sharing photos.
I wish you a free and independent Kurdistan.
Did you know that Kurds are afraid of the ChaldoAssyrian tiny minority?! If it was not so, they ( the kurdish warlords Talabani and Barzani) would not prevent the 300.000 chaldoassyrians, yezidi's and shabak's to vote in the nineveh plaines!
You naive kurds do not even know what your leaders do with the minorities. You only hear kurdish news on the minorities, but you hardly hear chaldoassyrian news on what kurds are doing to them and their lands.
Give us back our lands, you pushed our people out of our lands and are replacing them with kurds from other regions!
you are trying to empty the northern iraqi lands from non-kurdish groups and you are trying to change the demography in order to legitimize your claims.
THIS IS NO DEMOCRACY, this is simply inhuman!
Long live brotherhood, solidarity and friendship of peoples in the same land!
Matay Arsan
