Politics between dominance and justice: The stance of “Azadiya Me” toward regional transformations
In this political phase in which the region is undergoing deep and rapid transformations, truth is no longer being constructed on the basis of principles of justice and human rights; rather, it is being reshaped under the influence of power relations and conflicting interests, where principled values are increasingly weakened in favor of calculations of power and strategic positioning.
What we are witnessing today in the region cannot be understood outside the framework of the reconfiguration of international and regional power balances, in which multi-dimensional politics is often governed by the logic of open confrontation or indirect warfare. Within this framework, states and societies are frequently used as instruments of dominance projects, often overriding the will of peoples and their historical and political rights.
In this context, the rights of peoples are no longer seen as fixed legal and moral principles, but are increasingly turned into fragmented bargaining files, open to reinterpretation and conditionality. This, in turn, undermines the very foundation of the idea of international justice and weakens the understanding of popular sovereignty, replacing it with the logic of power.
The fundamental question that arises is: Who decides political action in this regional and international system? And who truly bears responsibility for the consequences of those decisions when they lead to crises, wars, and social and economic collapses that primarily affect peoples?
The absence of a fair answer to this question keeps the region in a state of permanent tension, making stability fragile and temporary, because it is not based on a balance of rights and mutual obligations, but rather on the management of conflict instead of its resolution.
For our part, “Azadiya Me” adopts in this phase a clear and unequivocal political position: rejecting alignment with hegemonic powers in all its forms, and rejecting support for projects that reproduce exclusion, marginalize societies, or strip away the concept of citizenship and dignity.
Our fundamental orientation is alignment with truth as it is, not as it is desired to be reshaped; alignment with justice as a standard, not as a slogan; and alignment with the rights of peoples to determine their political, cultural, and social destiny, and to protect their dignity from the logic of domination or political exploitation.
The future of this region is not written solely in the decision-making rooms of international powers, but also—and fundamentally—in the fields of resistance and social and political action of peoples, who rise against marginalization and demand their legitimate rights. Any project that ignores this reality or attempts to bypass it will remain incomplete, exposed to internal contradictions and breakdowns, no matter how powerful it may appear in its present moment.
We believe that real peace cannot be built on the denial of rights, nor on managing conflicts through force or marginalization, but rather on mutual recognition, justice, and genuine political participation of all components of society.
In this issue, we clearly state this vision:
A politics built without justice cannot create real stability, and stability built on the denial of rights is nothing but another form of hidden domination, not a project of peace.
