Let’s welcome Layla’s imprisonment for freedom!

We are one of the greatest nations in blaming others for our miseries. Maybe our oppressors see our problems and have a reason to believe a good Kurd should be a dead one. Maybe they see we are committing treason by serving them instead of our own people first.
For the sake of argument let’s call our leaders our losers. Our miserable loss started with the mythical Kawa. This poor loser didn’t know what to do with the crown after he ended the tyranny of Zahak and so he gave it to Faryadoon. Salahadin learned from him and made a similar mistake. This so called great loser promoted a belief system that did not have anything to do with the Kurds. Although the ideology he advocated might have had minor anti-tyranny aspects, it soon became a tyrannical institution that has kept us in darkness and in service of others for centuries. Salahadin’s follower, one of our contemporary losers, is now proud to be the president of a country that killed over 182000 of our people.
It seems our losers who reach the point to make a real difference end up dead or change their mind and assure that they are there to serve their oppressors. Many current party losers who followed our dead losers have created hundred parties each with a dozen members and still think by hiding their true feeling about independence they could negotiate autonomy and federalism with their past, present, and future oppressors. Even the loser that was demanding independence changed his mind after some charlatans captured him and turned him in to our oppressors. He is now happy to be alive in prison and believes that autonomy can be a good option in a country whose leaders have such a selective blindness that they can not see anything but themselves.
Our loss has been often determined by our male losers. Now we have a historical opportunity to see how one of our brave female members, Layla Zana, could help us. By not being free the way she sees freedom, she is already in a symbolic prison. If she ends up in real prison again, she might declare nothing less than a free Kurdistan is acceptable for her in order to accept her own freedom again. Mandela did it, she could do it too. If she compromises and accepts anything less than a free Kurdistan , we should thank our oppressor for sentencing someone who is not ready to serve her own people yet. Based on what we have seen from her, she a rising sun and can push for what we should have had based on the Section III Articles 62–64 of Treaty of Sèvres in 1920.
