Kurdistan Future Movement
Introduction
Kurdistan is an occupied and divided homeland of the Kurdish nation, whose people are still deprived of their most basic human and national rights on their own land and continue to live under oppression and injustice.
The Kurdish issue is not merely one of domination, but rather one of colonialism. Therefore, throughout history, the Kurdish nation has continuously struggled to achieve its national rights and to end national oppression.
Although the Kurdish people have carried out a determined struggle for national liberation, internal betrayal, self-interest, fragmentation, and division have prevented them from achieving their goals. Many internal and external factors have caused setbacks for all movements and uprisings.
The absence of strong leadership, political figures, and capable diplomacy has created a significant gap within the Kurdish liberation movement. As a result, we have not yet reached our rightful objectives.
Therefore, we, as a modern political movement, after studying the situation and understanding the causes of failure in past struggles, and learning from both the positive and negative aspects of our history, have decided to establish the Kurdistan Future Movement.
This movement aims to fill these gaps by adopting modern methods of struggle, including diplomacy, political work, building international alliances, and cooperation with freedom-loving and civilized nations.
