"We did this for the innocent children, youngsters, women, men and elders. We did this for humanity. We are a peace loving nation and we do anything for our kind. Some fight with guns and some fight through social media and all against terrorism" said a young kurdish woman, a true activist, Nizo Dara.
These couple of days I've been on social media more than usually. It feels like the whole social media is on fire and all about the new archenemy, ISIS (The Islamic State of Iraq and Syria) nowadays known as IS (The Islamic State). Less the world knows that previously known ISIS was just a terror threat happening faraway from home,from the West but the new IS is a terror threat for the WHOLE WORLD! The first and obvious evidence was a change in their name. But I am not here to analyze The Islamic State. I am here as a voice of the Kurds. The Kurds that need the world to wake up.
The world has been cruel to many ethnic backgrounds but after each slavery, war and genocide we promised a better world, a better future. Back then I understand why no one helped a little black girl, a little jew boy or a poor family. Back then we didn't know better. The people didn't have a voice, they didn't have a chance to be heard, they didn't have the most powerful tool we have today: Social Media.
Today we can share awareness to the world with one share button, with one like or with one status. YET THE WORLD IS SILENT!
History is repeating itself, but why? I would really want to say "well, because the world has gone mad" but instead I would have to say "maybe its money, politics or even oil -or its just about money". A human life shouldn't be compared in dollars, didn't we learn this 60 years ago? I guess we didn't.
Kurdistan and Kurds are seeking for help, help from the west.
Today the Kurds in #Finland, #Helsinki did a great and powerful protest against IS. They wanted to shake up the people, to give them a wake up call, to let them realize that the threat isn't just ours -its the whole worlds! The problem isn't just ours --its the whole worlds!
The dying kids, raped women and killed men aren't only Kurds, tomorrow they can be your granddaughter, your son, your wife or your husband.
The people that spread terror needs to be seized and stopped, but if we close our eyes, cover our ears and shut our mouth like the three monkeys, we will be like monkeys!
I want to thank each and one of you for protesting today. We all want safety and happiness, not just for us but for the whole world. Not a single tear should be shed because of terror. We deserve it. If we don't fight for freedom and peace, then what is the point to fight for a better future? Soon there won't be a reason to live.
LET US RESTORE FAITH IN HUMANITY. NOT TOMORROW, BUT NOW. THIS VERY MOMENT.
