durée : 00:15:08 - Les Enjeux internationaux - par : Baptiste Muckensturm - Dans une déclaration très martiale, le président Erdogan s'en est pris à son principal opposant dans la course à la présidentielle en Turquie : Kemal Kiliçdaroglu. Il l'accuse d'être à la solde du Parti des travailleurs du Kurdistan –le PKK-, la guérilla kurde. - invités : Lucie Drechselova enseignante chercheuse à l'EHESS

Presque huit mois après la mort de Mahsa Jina Amini, les cortèges de manifestants habillent de moins en moins les rues iraniennes. Mais cet état de fait n'abime pas l'espoir de la résistance kurde iranienne retranchée en Irak. Au contraire : elle y voit une nouvelle étape de la « révolution de Jina ». De notre correspondant au Kurdistan d'Irak et en Syrie, Les rayons de soleil d'un printemps kurde irakien largement installé caressent les arbres de cette base arrière du Parti démocratique du Kurdistan d'Iran, le PDKI. Nous sommes à quelques kilomètres d'Erbil, capitale de la région autonome kurde irakienne. C'est dans ces montagnes que se sont installées les bases militaires et civiles du groupe armé il y a plus de 30 ans. Chassés du Kurdistan d'Iran par la République islamique. Depuis septembre dernier et la mort de Mahsa Amini (Jina, de son nom kurde et d'usage), des jeunes Kurdes ont rejoint la lutte de partis comme le PDKI. Souvent anciens manifestants, beaucoup disent avoir constaté « l'impuissance de la lutte pacifiste ». Et ont donc traversé les montagnes, souvent clandestinement, pour rallier des camps comme celui-ci. Au plus fort de la mobilisation, le PDKI affirme avoir accueilli plusieurs centaines de jeunes Kurdes iraniens prêts à prendre les armes. Aujourd'hui, le flux est nettement moins important. L'Iran a renforcé ses forces militaires à la frontière avec l'Irak selon le PDKI. « Les Pasdarans [armée idéologique de la République islamique d'Iran, Ndlr], sont partout dans les montagnes et tirent à vue », soutient Karim Pervisi, membre du comité de gestion du parti. Il est assis à son bureau. Habillé en costume kurde, chemise rentrée dans un pantalon bouffant. La taille marquée par un long tissu enroulé comme une ceinture. L'essoufflement de la mobilisation ? Karim Pervisi n'y croit pas, même s'il reconnait que les rues sont plus silencieuses depuis quelques semaines, notamment au Baloutchistan et au Kurdistan où les contestations ont été les plus intenses. Selon lui, la répression de la République islamique a conduit les protestataires à changer de mode d'action. Passant davantage par des actes de désobéissance civile. « Notre espoir est en fait plus important qu'avant. Avant le mouvement, nous étions seuls à se révolter contre le gouvernement iranien. Mais maintenant, c'est tout l'Iran qui s'est battu. Toutes les régions se sont révoltées ». « Les militants font juste une pause » Le haut gradé de la résistance kurde iranienne soutient que son parti entretient d'importants réseaux de militants au Kurdistan d'Iran. Ce qui lui permet d'avoir des informations en temps réel sur cette région où aucun journaliste ne peut faire son métier sous la pression du régime iranien. Il constate que de nombreuses choses ont changées depuis sept mois : « Le gouvernement central ne peut plus contrôler cette région comme avant. Ils marchent continuellement sur des œufs. Ils font vraiment attention à ce qu'ils font, à ce qu'ils disent, à ce qu'ils décident sur le Kurdistan. Le représentant de Khamenei au Kurdistan a avoué, il y a peu dans une interview, qu'il ne pouvait plus appliquer le port obligatoire du voile. Ils n'ont plus un pouvoir total dans la région ». Tout à coup, une sonnerie retentit. C'est la pause de midi dans l'école située à quelques mètres de là. Le camp n'est pas qu'une base militaire. C'est aussi un lieu de vie, où les combattants kurdes vivent, parfois s'aiment et fondent une famille. C'est le cas de Vyan Ghishkar, une Kurde iranienne de 25 ans. Elle a traversé les montagnes en 2020 depuis le Kurdistan d'Iran, celles qui se dressent à l'horizon. C'est ici qu'elle a rencontré son mari, aussi combattant pour le PDKI. Ils se reposent sous un arbre chargé d'oiseaux. Le calme des rues iraniennes ne ternit pas non plus son espoir de renversement du régime « Les militants font juste une pause. Mais ça peut reprendre à tout moment. Comme vous l'avez vu ces derniers jours, après l'empoisonnement des écolières. On a revu l'émergence des mobilisations ». En stratégie militaire, la combattante soutient la ligne de son parti : pas d'offensive armée vers l'Iran. C'est ce que nous expose le chef des services secrets du PDKI, Sadiki Dervichi. Malgré les bombardements et missiles balistiques lancés contre les bases du parti par le régime iranien au plus fort des mobilisations, à aucun moment la résistance n'a menacé de représailles armées contre les territoires iraniens : « Le gouvernement iranien cherche constamment des excuses pour tuer les protestataires. Et une présence militaire comme la nôtre aurait été une très bonne excuse pour déclencher un bain de sang ». Pas d'aide armée donc, mais une aide logistique et d'influence par les militants restés de l'autre côté des montagnes. « À l'avenir, nous avons nos plans pour nourrir cette révolution », promet le chef des services secrets. Impossible d'en savoir plus.

Pour le milliard et demi de musulmans dans le monde, en ce moment c'est le ramadan. Parmi eux, les adeptes d'un mouvement très particulier dans l'islam : le soufisme. Ils ne sont ni chiites, ni sunnites et s'organisent entre eux, par confréries. Leurs derviches – sorte de moines – privilégient une pratique mystique et ésotérique de l'islam en entrant dans un état de transe. De notre correspondant régional, Nous sommes ici dans une taqiya, l'équivalent d'un monastère soufi. Le soleil s'est couché depuis à peu près deux heures, le jeûne du ramadan est rompu. Les 40 derviches commencent à entrer en transe dans la salle de prière. « Quand je fais le rituel, je sais que Dieu me regarde. Que je gagne des points pour entrer au paradis après la mort. Je suis le comportement du prophète. Je me sens presque comme si j'étais déjà au paradis. Je me sens apaisé. C'est un état spirituel très spécial ». Pour entrer en transe, les derviches se mettent en cercle, et ils commencent à pencher la tête de haut en bas. Ils respirent très fort, ce qui va suroxygéner leur sang et notamment leur tête. Et donc provoquer un état d'ivresse généralisé. « Je me sens plus proche de Dieu pendant le moment du Zikr. Je n'arrive pas à penser ni à ma famille, ni à mon travail, ni à l'argent. Je ne pense qu'à Dieu, au prophète, à la religion à mon sort après la mort. C'est à ça que ça sert ». Heman Abedekarim Abdelkadr est soufi depuis 35 ans, il en a une cinquantaine. Comme de nombreux derviches, ses cheveux gris sont longs jusqu'aux épaules. Il est habillé en costume kurde, gilet sans col rentré dans un pantalon bouffant. « Tout le monde réagit à sa façon, tout le monde ne pleure pas ! C'est une question de foi, plus tu as la foi, au plus tu pleures. Pendant le rituel, tu penses à la mort. Tu penses au prophète, à la religion. Tu penses au mal et aux mauvaises choses. Ceux pour lesquels tout cela importe le plus, se mettent à pleurer ». Ici en Irak, les confréries soufies ont été victimes ces dernières années de l'émergence de groupes islamistes comme Daech. Les derviches étaient accusés d'hérésie et ont dû se faire un peu plus discrets.

Many Yazidi women were still very young, or even children, when they were kidnapped by IS in Sinjar in August 2014. They were brutally separated from their families, forcibly converted to Islam and enlisted as sex slaves by IS fighters. Many of them have now returned to their communities and the question is whether these young women can start a new life. - Fîlmçêkerê Kurd ê Holendî Rêber Doskî diçe kampên penaberan li Herêma Kurdistanê, li nêzîkî Duhokê da ku guhdarî çîrokên hovane yên jin û keçan Êzîdî bike. Neh keçên Êzîdiye di belegefilîma bi navê Keçên Rojê/Daughters of the Sun de çîrokên xwe ji dema di bin destê DAIŞ de bûn vedibêjin.

Vingt ans après la chute de Bagdad qui a conduit à celle du régime de Saddam Hussein, entretien avec Rizgar Mohammed Amin, le juge kurde qui avait dirigé le procès à l'issue duquel le dirigeant irakien fut condamné à mort. Ce 9 avril marque les 20 ans de la chute de Bagdad, trois semaines après le début de l'invasion américaine en Irak. Une opération militaire controversée dont l'objectif était le renversement du régime de Saddam Hussein. Le dictateur capturé le 13 décembre 2003 a ensuite été jugé par un tribunal spécial irakien qui a prononcé la peine de mort contre celui qui aura gouverné son pays pendant 23 ans. À l'époque, Rizgar Mohammed Amin est le vice-président de la cour d'appel de Souleimaniye, dans le Kurdistan irakien. Des juges kurdes sont recherchés pour mener le procès de Saddam Hussein. Une réunion a alors lieu avec les autres magistrats de la ville et le ministre de la Justice. Par peur, les autres magistrats refusent de participer à ce projet. Rizgar Mohammed Amin, lui, accepte. RFI : Une vidéo prise lors du procès vous montre sur votre siège en face de Saddam Hussein. Et il est très en colère contre vous. Rizgar Mohammed Amin :  À ce moment-là, en fait, je ne me sens pas mal. Pour n'importe quel accusé, c'est un choc mental. Il faut se mettre à sa place. Le juge ne doit pas se mettre en colère. Saddam Hussein avait des choses à dire et il avait le droit de se défendre. Si les autres ont ce droit, Saddam Hussein l'a aussi. Pas d'exception. C'était un président qui avait perdu son pouvoir à ce moment-là. De cette période du procès, je garde un souvenir bizarre. Il n'y avait pas de sécurité à Bagdad. Les rues étaient dangereuses. Al-Qaïda était très présente. Ses hommes tuaient des gens ou les kidnappaient. Ils brûlaient des voitures. Après quatre mois de procès, vous dénoncez des interférences et démissionnez. C'étaient les partis politiques irakiens, le ministre de la Justice et les Américains. Ça passait par des coups de fil, des articles de presse, ou des lettres officielles directement envoyées à mon adresse. Ils me demandaient pourquoi je laissais Saddam s'asseoir, boire de l'eau, avoir du papier et un stylo. Ils me demandaient pourquoi je ne le jugeais pas plus vite pour l'exécuter rapidement.  Le 30 décembre 2006, Saddam est exécuté par pendaison le jour de l'Aïd el-Kebir après avoir été condamné à mort. Que ressentez-vous à cette annonce ? Je suis contre la peine de mort pour qui que ce soit. Et ça vaut pour Saddam. De toute évidence, l'Irak n'était pas prête à accueillir ce procès. La sécurité du pays n'était pas assurée. Les juges n'étaient ni neutres, ni formés au droit international. L'exécution de Saddam a créé un véritable conflit entre les sunnites pro-Saddam et les chiites du pays. Un conflit qui a créé le terreau fertile à l'émergence de l'organisation État islamique des années plus tard en Irak. ► À lire aussi : Irak: 20 ans après l'invasion américaine, les habitants de Bagdad amers Les bombes chimiques de Saddam, une plaie encore ouverte pour les Kurdes d'Irak

Herds of goats, pomegranate trees in bloom, and ancient architecture are just some of the things you might witness while walking The Abraham Path, a collection of walking trails established in the past fifteen years through parts of Israel, Palestine, Egypt, Turkey, Jordan, and Iraq. But the trail is also engineered for human experiences. Connecting cities and villages, it offers the opportunity to make one-on-one connections in a contested region. It's a kind of subtle peace-building project, but it's also an economic development project, an education project, and more. The path's development, spurred by American peacebuilders, has been met with some skepticism by journalists. But as locals have taken ownership of the trail, a good deal of stories have been published that convey a sense of hope, including a cover story in a travel-themed issue of The New York Times Magazine in April 2022. Our guests for this episode are Joshua Weiss, a peacebuilder and co-founder of The Abraham Path Initiative, and Anisa Mehdi, the Executive Director of the project and a veteran broadcast journalist. This episode originally published in June 2022. Donate to help Abraham Path homestay hosts and guides rebuild in Southeast Turkey and Syria.HOW TO RATE AND/OR REVIEW MAKING PEACE VISIBLEIn Apple Podcasts on iPhone Tap on the show name (Making Peace Visible) to navigate to the main podcast pageScroll down to the "Ratings and Reviews" sectionTo leave a rating only, tap on the starsTo leave a review, tap "Write a Review"In Spotify(Note: Spotify ratings are currently only available on mobile.)Tap on the show name (Making Peace Visible) to navigate to the main podcast pageTap on the star icon under the podcast description to rate the showIn Podcast Addict(Note: you may need to sign in before leaving a review.)From the episode page: On the top left above the show description, click "Post review."From the main podcast pageTap "Reviews" on the top left.On the Reviews page,  tap the icon of a pen and paper in the top right corner of the screen.Making Peace Visible is a project of War Stories Peace Stories.

C'est un massacre à l'arme chimique dont les traces perdurent aujourd'hui… Il y a 35 ans, Saddam Hussein lançait une opération de répression au Kurdistan irakien, un massacre d'ampleur à l'arme chimique. Le chef d'État irakien voulait punir les Kurdes pour leurs révoltes nationalistes et les accusait de complicité avec l'ennemi iranien. Bilan de ces attaques : 180 000 morts et 9 villages sur 10 entièrement rasés. « Les bombes chimiques de Saddam, une plaie encore ouverte pour les Kurdes d'Irak », un Grand reportage de Théo Renaudon.

240 000 réfugiés syriens vivent au Kurdistan d'Irak. Un chiffre qui vient d'être révélé par le gouvernement autonome. 12 ans après le début de la guerre civile syrienne, les frappes turques sur le Rojava et la subsistance de l'État islamique ne donnent aucune perspective de retour à ces exilés. La plupart vivent dans des camps depuis plus d'une décennie maintenant. Notre correspondant au Kurdistan d'Irak, Théo Renaudon, s'est rendu dans l'un d'entre eux.

The story of the Iraqi Kurds and the establishment of the autonomous zone and the Kurdish Regional Government is a great Middle East epic that continues to play out. The Kurds have sought to carve out their own state amid the turmoil of unfolding regional history. They've been gassed and chased into the mountains by Saddam Hussein and attacked by the dangerous terror group ISIS. The Kurds have stood up courageously against their opponents. The Iraqi Kurds and the United States have had a long history of cooperation and, sadly, at times abandonment. The aspirations of the people of Kurdistan took shape in the 2017 independence referendum as the coalition battle against ISIS was winding down. The referendum won with 92% of Kurds voting to free the region from Baghdad's authority. However, the central government through a Supreme Court ruling, quashed the initiative. The KRG continues its close relationship with Washington as it continues to navigate a tough neighborhood, wedged among its Iraqi neighbors and Turkey, Iran and Syria. The KRG has been very well represented in Washington by the Hon. Bayan Sami Abdul Rahman. TNWAC is pleased to host her for a conversation about the relationship with the U.S. and developments in Kurdistan and the region. Join us.

Katibu Mkuu wa Umoja wa Mataifa Antonio Guterres amefanya ziara nchini Iraq lengo likiwa ni kusisitiza mshikamano na kuunga mkono juhudu za nchi za kuleta amani ,haki za binadamu na maendeleo endelevu.Ziara ya mwisho ya Katibu Mkuu Guterres nchini Iraq ilikuwa miaka sita iliyopita, na alipofika Baghdad alipokelewa na Naibu Waziri Mkuu ambaye pia ni Waziri wa Mambo ya nje Fued Hussein ambapo walifanya mkutano wa pamoja na waandishi wa habari.Katika hotuba yake Katibu Mkuu Guterres aliipongeza serikali ya Iraq kwa kuwaruhusu wananchi wa Iraq walio nje ya nchi hiyo kurejea na kusema Umoja wa Mataifa unaunga mkono kikamilifu juhudi zote za kuhakikisha nchi hiyo inakuwa na mustakabali wa amani na ustawi na taasisi zake zinaunganishwa na demokrasia.Katika mkutano huo pia alizungumzumzia changamoto zinazowakabili wananchi wa nchi hiyo ikiwemo uhaba wa maji na athari za mabadiliko ya tabianchi na kusema “Moyo wangu unavunjika nikiona wakulima wanaacha ardhi zao na mazao ambayo wamekuwa wakilima kwa milenia. Uhaba wa maji nchini Iraq umechangiwa na kupungua kwa uingiaji kutoka nje, usimamizi usio endelevu wa maji, na sasa athari za mabadiliko ya tabianchi. Ni tishio linalohitaji umakini wa kimataifa.”Katika kupata suluhu kwenye changamoto hiyo amesema mkutano Umoja wa Mataifa wa Maji utakaofanyika baadae mwezi huu jijini New York, Marekani utajadili mengi kuhusu changamoto ya maji huku akidhibitisha kuelewa ni kwa namna gani suala ya uhakika wa maji ni muhimu kwa nchi hiyo.Katika ziara yake hiyo, Katibu Mkuu atakutana na viongozi mbalimbali wa serikali akiwemo Waziri Mkuu Mohammed Shia' Al Sudani.Akiwa katika mji mkuu, Katibu Mkuu pia atakutana na kuwasikiliza wawakilishi wa vikundi vya haki za vijana na wanawake na kufanya mkutano na wafanyakazi wa Umoja wa Mataifa.Hapo kesho Katibu Mkuu Guterres atatembelea kambi ya Wakimbizi wa Ndani na Kituo cha Urekebishaji kilichoko kaskazini mwa nchi hiyo na kufanya mazungumzo na wakazi wa kituoni hapo.Kisha ataenda Erbil na kukutana na maafisa wa Serikali ya Mkoa wa Kurdistan.

When he arrived in Australia, he faced many difficulties as a refugee to get his degree recognised. He completed his studies in general medicine and was a general practitioner for many years. Dr Mizori has been working in the field of skin cancer and performing minor surgeries since 2005.

He was born early in the seventh century in the East. His birthplace is unclear: the Great Horologion says that he was born in eastern Arabia (present-day Qatar); the Synaxarion that he was born in Kurdistan. While still young he entered the Lavra of St Matthew with his brother, but after a few years of monastic life, having advanced far in obedience and the practice of prayer, he withdrew into the desert. His reputation for holiness reached the city of Nineveh, where the people prevailed on the hierarchy to consecrate him as their bishop in 670. Reluctantly but obediently, St Isaac took up the duties of shepherd of his flock in Nineveh. After a few months, he was called on to settle a dispute between two of the faithful, but they rejected his counsel and said 'Leave your Gospel out of this matter!' The holy bishop said, 'If they are not prepared to obey Our Lord's commandments, what need have they of me?', and retired to live as a hermit in the mountains of Kurdistan. Later, he settled in the monastery of Raban Shapur, where he wrote his Ascetical Homilies and other jewel-like works on the spiritual life. There he reposed in peace.   The fame of St Isaac' Homilies spread, and about one hundred years after their writing they were translated from Syriac into Greek by two monks in Palestine. In this form they spread throughout the monastic world, becoming a treasured guide to those who seek the fullness of the life of prayer. The Synaxarion says, "The book of Saint Isaac is, with the Ladder of Saint John Climacus, the indispensible guide for every Orthdox soul to journey safely toward God. Hence, not many years ago, a holy spiritual father, Jerome of Egina (d. 1966), recommended begging, if necessary, in order to be able to purchase a copy." We are blessed to have a good translation of the Ascetical Homilies available in English.   Saint Isaac is a very unusual case of an Orthodox Saint who lived outside the canonical boundaries of the Church: he was a bishop of the "Nestorian" communion, now sometimes called the "Oriental Orthodox." The purity of his own Orthodox faith is so clearly evident in his writings that the Church has nonetheless recognized his sanctity.

Sam and Emma host Nahid Siamdoust, Assistant Professor of Middle East and Media Studies at the University of Texas at Austin, to discuss the recent political protests in Iran. Then, they are joined by Eli Friedman, professor at the Cornell University School of Industrial and Labor Relations and author of author of The China Question: Toward Left Perspectives, edited with Kevin Lin and Ashley Smith, to discuss the recent protests in China. First, Sam and Emma run through updates on yesterday's Georgia Primary, Trump Inc.'s fraud charges, today's Supreme Court case, and more! Then Professor Nahid Siamdoust joins as she dives right into the current strike in Iran, exploring where we are in its broader course, before jumping back to the leadup to the Iranian revolution to explore the role of students – and the trust the Iranian populace has in them – in the country's culture of revolution. Expanding on this, Prof. Siamdoust walks through the widespread nature of the current protests in Iran, extending well beyond the university to women throughout the nation, and across the massive ethnic patchwork from Kurdistan to Turks and beyond. Next, they jump to the murder of Mahsa Amini by the Iranian morality police, exploring the rising tension between the theocratic regime and its diverse array of citizens, before jumping back to trace the inception of the Morality Police from the wake of the Iranian revolution. Wrapping up, they discuss the remaining social group that has yet to be fully won over by the protestors (the military and police) and what that fight currently looks like. Eli Friedman then joins as he gets right into contextualizing the last couple of weeks in China, and the protest that has risen from their “Zero Covid” policy, tackling the development of the Chinese public opinion for these policies, and the country's relationship to covid writ large. Next, they tackle China's history with mass protest movements, outlining the vast differences between these protests and the pro-democracy movement in 1989, and walking through the various current tensions in China's relationship with Democracy and the West. And in the Fun Half: Sam and Emma discuss their criticism of CNN's one-sided rail labor coverage, parse through Warnock's victory in Georgia and the right's internal civil war coming to the fore as Herschel's relationships to Cruz, Graham, and Trump fail to take him to the Senate.
