Today, all truths have been laid bare, and the true face of the major powers—those we once believed to be supporters of justice and fairness—has been revealed. The mask worn by the United States and the West can no longer conceal its ugliness. The state that has long proclaimed its support for democracy, the rights of peoples, and human rights has chosen to stand alongside an extremist authority, ideological and practical in its conduct, and to auction off our Kurdish cause in the name of “Syrian unity,” disregarding our blood and suffering, trading our lives as political commodities.
This exposure is not merely a political scandal; it is a stark lesson proving that there is no justice outside our own will, and no real protection from abroad except what we forge with our own hands—we, the peoples of this earth who refuse to be hostages to others. I have repeated to the Kurds a thousand times: do not trust the Americans, do not trust the Hebrew state, do not trust any Western capitalist power, no matter how loudly it speaks of democracy, freedom, or human rights. The West will grant us nothing that does not serve its interests. Its promises are merely a cover for domination—a new colonial policy used to secure its own strategic gains at the expense of our people and our land.
The Kurds, who know the meaning of resilience and determination, understand well that we have no friends but the mountains. The mountains that witnessed the heroism of our ancestors, that endured storms and wars, will remain our refuge and our protector. They stand as witnesses to the strength of our will and the firmness of our resolve. Today, in the face of this open betrayal by global powers, we must recognize that reliance on others is a direct path to defeat. True confidence lies only in ourselves—in our clear minds, our courage, and our free popular will.
Today, we are called upon to raise our voices—not in complaint or supplication, but in revolution. Let us open the path with our own hands, far from foreign arms that gamble with us as bargaining chips and exploit our suffering in the marketplace of their interests. Every step toward freedom begins with willpower. Every victory is possible only when we rely solely on ourselves and build our strength on the ground—through popular solidarity and historical consciousness of our cause.
The masks have fallen, and the true face of the major powers has been exposed. The time has come to open the revolutionary path. Freedom will not be a gift; it will be a long and arduous struggle. Independence will not become reality except through our resilience, determination, and patience.
Enough waiting. Enough false promises. Enough betrayal.
It is time for revolution and action—time to reclaim dignity, and time to prove to the world that the will of the Kurdish people cannot be broken, and that the mountains among which our ancestors lived will forever stand as witnesses to our ability to defend our land and our rights.
