The
modern youth of our nation needs to rise from sitting
behind the doors of impossible -
Zana Abdulrahman - 10 May 08 |
| |
There is no doubt that every Kurd has dreamed
of one thing above all others, and that one thing is to enjoy
the fruitfulness of being an Independent country that offers
us all the chance to live our lives to the fullest. It is
time for our people to live in peace, it's time for us to
free our souls from the cage of uneducated minds and start
to live and fight for our nation and our recognition. |

Newroz is the traditional spring festival
of the Kurds, but it has gained overt political significance
ever since the Kurdish struggle against Turkish oppression
gained the character of a mass movement in the early 1990s.
This year, once again, hundreds of thousands of people came
out to celebrate Newroz in Amed (Diyarbakir) and the other
cities of Northern Kurdistan. |

The Kurdish American Youth Organization – or KAYO – was
established to bridge the gap between the desires of the Kurdish
youth to uphold that basic value and the ability to be active
in fulfilling it. KAYO excelled in its almost three years as
an organization incorporating young Kurdish members – and
even non-Kurds – all over the United States from many
different backgrounds. |
