About my homeland (Kurdistan)

Kurdistan is located in the center of the Middle East. For many political and historical reasons, Kurdish people do not have an independent state yet. Kurdistan is divided into four parts, and each section is a part of another country, Iraq, Iran, Syria, and Turkey. I live in the Iraqi part, and we have a federal government in this part, in the framework of the Iraqi Republic. Kurdish people have been fighting for their national rights since the early 20th century, but they haven't gotten what they have been fighting for yet. We have had many revolutions in our history, mostly armed revolutions, but they were all ended in tragic ways. Our last armed revolution which was in the southern part of Kurdistan. the part which I live in. It was ended in 1988 by the process of the Anfal, the genocide of Kurdish people carried out by the former Iraqi Baathist regime. 182,000 Kurdish people were killed in this genocide. and more than 4500 villages were destroyed. The Iraqi Baathist regime also attacked Halabja, a Kurdish town, with chemical bombs and more than 5,000 people died in few hours. But after Iraqi's intervention in Kuwait and the destruction of most of the Iraqi troops in fighting with the American army in that war in 1991. Kurdish people up rose against Iraqi troops, and most of the Kurdish cities and towns were liberated by Kurdish forces in a few days.
