NEWS CENTER – A number of political activists have been assassinated in the outskirts of Sulaimani in recent months and their killers have not been arrested yet. In the latest case, a revolutionary woman named Nagahan Akarsar, a member of the editorial board of the journal Jineology, was assassinated by 11 bullets in Bakhtiari neighborhood of Sulaimani. Undoubtedly, the martyrdom of Nagahan was not sudden on the anniversary of the martyrdom of Dr. Sirwan, who was martyred by the PDK.
The occupying Turkish state has been carrying out attacks and operations on the territory of South Kurdistan since 1983. In total, it has conducted more than 32 major and official operations against South Kurdistan. In addition, hundreds of thousands of bombings and shelling of the land, villages, fields, diaspora and people of South Kurdistan. The Barzani family and the PDK have been aware of all these attacks on the territory of South Kurdistan and have extended a hand of cooperation to the fascist Turkish state. What is clear throughout history is the hostility of the fascist Turkish state to the existence, identity and interests of the Kurdish people. He will try to suppress and drown any voice that is raised in the name of Kurds and Kurdishness.
Last year, the occupying Turkish state launched an offensive and occupation on the basis of a new conspiracy to invade the territory of South Kurdistan and the Media Ku Defense Region, which has been a guerrilla base for years. The attacks were carried out in Zap, Metina and Avaşin with the comprehensive cooperation of the PDK. The occupying Turkish army is also testing all kinds of techniques, launching massive ground and air attacks and using all kinds of chemical weapons and prohibited weapons to create a modern Aleppo. But he met with resistance, steely strength and determination and 21st century guerrilla tactics. The objective of this operation has been foiled to this day and continues with the relentless fighting of the guerrillas. More than 2,700 Turkish occupation soldiers have been punished in Bilancho. This is a new deterioration for the occupying Turkish state and its collaborators.
The occupying Turkish state is trying every way to hide this deterioration and on this basis, like a rabid dog, it is attacking wherever it can reach to sacrifice. The attacks by fighter jets and drones on the tourist areas of South Kurdistan where civilians live, as well as Sinjar, Makhmur, West Kurdistan and the threat of occupation of West Kurdistan are a continuation of these genocidal conspiracies.
The behaviour and conspiracies of the occupying Turkish state show that it sees the PKK as a major force in Kurdistan and the region. You know the fact that the PKK is not dependent on any force or party, which has created fear and anxiety for them. Turkey’s second goal is the Kurdistan Regional Government and the achievements of the Kurdish people in South Kurdistan. Turkey believes that once it can defeat the PKK, it can easily weaken the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) and prevent it from becoming a source of struggle in Kurdistan. On the way and the historical conspiracy to reach the centennial of Lausanne. The issue of Mosul and Kirkuk is another goal of the occupying Turkish state and it wants to prevent Kirkuk from returning to the Kurdistan Region.
Within a few months, several political activists, revolutionaries and patriotic people were assassinated in Sulaimani.
The case of terrorism in South Kurdistan, under the rule of the Barzani family, in the shadow of the rule of the PDK and the PUK, raises many questions.
- Are the intelligence agencies of the PDK (information) and the YNK (security) aware of these assassinations of the Turkish fascist MIT?
- Are these assassinations carried out at the request of the corrupt power of the Barzani family from the fascist Turkish intelligence agency or with the help of the information and the MIT?
- Is there a danger of introducing Leader Apo’s thoughts through some personalities and centers in South Kurdistan and fear of continuing this process?
- How dangerous is it for the PDK and YNK to explain the corruption of the regime in South Kurdistan?
The fascist Turkish state takes all kinds of immoral and unconscionable methods to achieve its goals. There is no doubt that the spread of Leader Apo’s thoughts in South Kurdistan and Iraq will bring about many changes. This is a concern for the authorities in South Kurdistan and also threatens the tribal interests of the Barzani family. This is a great threat to the occupying Turkish state. Therefore, they target and assassinate those who are fighting for this cause.
Although political terrorism has a long history, it originated in Badinan during the Kurdish rule in the south and the PDK is the first accused of this crime.
For the first time since the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) uprising, the PDK assassinated Hakim Tahsin and Sadiq Sindhi in early 1992, followed by Rauf Akri, who became the third martyr.
Today marks the 30th anniversary of the assassination of writer and political activist Rauf Akreyi.

Undoubtedly, the martyrdom of Nagahan was not sudden on the anniversary of the martyrdom of Dr. Sirwan, who was martyred by the PDK. On the other hand, an enthusiastic uprising led by women in East Kurdistan and Iran has begun with the slogan of “Women, Life, Freedom” and the good news of the first women’s revolution in the Middle East for the first time. This, along with the assassination of a revolutionary woman who focuses on the struggle of Jineology and introduces the thoughts of Leader Apo, can further explain the details of this assassination and the importance of the case to the enemy and his colleagues.
In the past year, many revolutionaries, political activists, journalists and patriotic people of North Kurdistan who saw the south as part of their country have been assassinated.

One of the main targets of political terrorism is the assassination of journalists and activists who want to become a political protest force against the cruel and corrupt regime in the south, especially those who share the ideas of the PKK and Abdullah Ocalan The first martyr of this fourth phase of terrorism among journalists is Wadat Hussein. The arrest of journalists and activists in Behdinan is part of this cruel conspiracy against Voice of Freedom He has no other philosophy or ideas.
