As Kurdish youths, we have decided to become freedom fighters."

Watching is not enough

I'm going to practice and face challenges. My goals are high."

I also became aware of the Kurdish society and the extermination policy of the Kurds. Now it's time for me to fight against all this more."

Xebat Diwandere, who set off from the city of Diwandere and reached the mountains of Kurdistan, said that it was necessary to counter the colonists who enjoyed the death of the Kurds.
