Anti-war protest in Kurdistan warns of mass killing, demand ceasefire
Shafaq News/ On Wednesday, civil activists in Al-Sulaymaniyah province, Kurdistan Region, held a protest to condemn the ongoing war in the region, calling for an immediate ceasefire and an end to hostilities.
In a press conference, Bahauddin Bakr, a protest organizer,
strongly denounced the violence against civilians in Iran and across the
region. “The events we’ve witnessed over the past week reflect nothing but the
scale of destruction inflicted on both people and infrastructure. This is a
systematic campaign targeting human existence and threatening the security of
the entire region,” he said.
Bakr noted that the current conflict is not new, as “its
roots go back to October 7. It is part of a broader pattern of conflicts fueled
by failed American and Israeli policies,” urging an immediate ceasefire.
