By: Dr. Adnan Bozan The value of a human being is not a trait acquired from the outside, nor a medal pinned to the chest to convince others of one's nobility. It is, above all, a truth rooted deep within, woven from the fabric of one’s principles, and revealed in those moments when time strips away the masks one by one. A person may easily claim virtue—at the cost of nothing more than a graceful phrase or a staged gesture performed at a moment he believes all eyes are upon...
To all political forces, influential figures, and treacherous mediators: enough manipulation of sacred values and the fate of the people under the guise of “advice.” North and East Syria belong to their people — they are not a playground for...

By Dr. Adnan Bouzan Revolution and wealth are parallel lines that never meet; for revolution is the daughter of noble poverty, born from the womb of hunger and injustice, drawn in the blood of the oppressed and the cries of throats shouting through a long night: Enough! Wealth, by contrast, is often a false accumulation, a plundered prize, or a privilege inherited from ages of tyranny. And when the hand of revolution reaches out to clasp the hand of wealth, blood mixes with mud, the cry loses its purity, and the square turns into a marketplace of bargains. A revolution not guided by consciousness is no revolution at all, but a blind storm that sweeps away stones and houses, leaving the earth barren and without green. Consciousness is the compass that preserves the dream from being lost, the roof that shields the poor from becoming...
By Dr. Adnan Bozan In recent days, we have witnessed an unprecedented escalation between Iran and Israel. The confrontation has moved beyond indirect conflict and limited security skirmishes to a state of open war with multiple dimensions: missiles, assassinations, cyber operations, and drone attacks. This is not a traditional war between two standing armies on a defined battlefield. Rather, it is a hybrid war in which geography intersects with technology, religion with geopolitics, and overt operations with covert ones — a war entangled with both internal and external actors. The Present: A Complex and Intertwined War Scene At this very...
By: Dr. Adnan Bouzan The call for the declaration of Kurdistan’s independence, and the reliance on the mountains as the Kurds’ eternal fortress, is not merely an emotional slogan or a revolutionary phrase, but rather a condensed expression of a long historical experience shaped by geography, tragedies, and international betrayal. The mountains have always been the final refuge; they preserved the Kurdish people’s identity when armies collapsed, alliances dissolved, and promises faded...
بقلم: د. عدنان بوزان في أعماق تاريخ البشرية تنسج الثورات الشعبية خيوطاً من الشجاعة والصمود، تحمل في طياتها الصرخات المكبوتة للشعوب الذين يسعون إلى الحرية والعدالة. إنّ الثورات الشعبية أو الانتفاضة تمثل فصلاً بارزاً في التحولات الاجتماعية، حيث تنهض الشعوب بشجاعة وإصرار لتحدي الظلم والفساد، وتسعى إلى بناء عالم أفضل ينبعث فيه نور العدالة والحرية. إنها ليست مجرد صفحة من التاريخ، بل هي حكاية عن صمود الإنسانية وإرادتها القوية في مواجهة الاستبداد...
By: Dr. Adnan Bouzan At the beginning of his second term, U.S. President Donald Trump announced his intention to impose new tariffs of up to 25% on imports from the European Union. With the escalation of the trade wars he has initiated, some did not expect his policies to have a rapid impact on the European economy, which is already facing huge challenges. However, with ongoing economic crises in major EU countries,...
By Dr. Adnan Bouzan Ignorant societies do not oppose falsehood as much as they oppose those who expose it, for their moral and psychological structures are founded upon the principle of obedience rather than understanding, upon submission rather than critique. In such an atmosphere, truth is not received as an illumination of consciousness, but as a threat to the harmony of collective illusion — a germ infecting the symbolic system through which man lives and derives the justification for his existence. Thus, truth becomes, in the consciousness of a community possessed by its dogmas, an intellectual crime and a dagger that strikes at the collective self built upon delusion rather than knowledge. Ignorance, at its deepest level, is not a transient condition nor an accidental state; it is a self-sustaining...
By: Dr. Adnan Bozan Introduction Self-interest, caught between the congestion of the ego and the corrosion of humanity’s collective mind, has accompanied the human being since the very first steps he carved upon the stage of existence. From the beginning, the human creature has oscillated between two opposing forces: a desire to belong to the group, and an innate...
By Dr. Adnan Bozan Do not build me a statue... Do not raise for me a flag of deaf bronze. Let my name seep like water through the cracks of the earth, and through the scent of bread rising from the ovens of the poor. Do not build me a statue. I am not a stone smiling at passersby, nor a signpost on a road crossed by merchants of words. I am...
By Dr. Adnan Bozan On April 26, a significant Kurdish initiative took place in the city of Qamishlo: the "Kurdish Conference." It stood out as one...
By Dr. Adnan Bozan In an age where man is supposed to be the child of freedom and knowledge, there are still those who insist on shoving you back into the cage of the tribe, reducing your entire dignity to the name of...
