BORDERS



Adored land, my country,

a love that I had lost..

if you had been remote 

in an inaccessible sky

or at a summit of the world

I would have known 

how to run to you 

even with iron shoes.

But a narrow distance 

separates you from me..

The invader calls it a border.

--- Hemin Mukriyani

Kurds are an ethnic group indigenous to a region called Kurdistan spanning parts of Turkey, Iraq, Iran, and Syria. They have long sought the creation of an independent Kurdish nation due to historic repression and the denial of autonom. Despite partial autonomy in Iraq and Syria, the demand for a separate nation remains unresolved, with Kurdish nationalism still actively suppressed in several countries.
