Welcome back to the podcast my people.
This is episode 46 — No Friends But the Mountains.
As a Kurd myself, this episode is very important to me it focuses on Kurdistan, its people, its history, and the political reality that has shaped Kurdish life across generations. We explore how borders were drawn without consent, how promises of protection were repeatedly withdrawn, and why the Kurdish question remains unresolved despite a century of resistance, cooperation, and survival.
From post–World War I settlements to modern conflicts in Iraq and Syria, this episode looks at how Kurdish identity has endured despite repression, displacement, and abandonment. It also examines Rojava today, the role of the SDF, and the human cost paid by civilians caught between regional and global power struggles.
This is not about taking sides. It is about context, memory, and understanding why culture, language, and dignity still matter when people are denied security and self-determination. Having said that. Har Biji Kurdu Kurdistan!
