    Happy Flag Day. If there is any advice I can give to my fellow Kurds, it would be to not allow a corrupt few to hide behind our flag that so many brave Kurds have fought under. False patriotism, blind nationalism is destroying Kurdistan from within. Speak up.

    I just realized countries which are considered the most violent and some of the poorest such as El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras can go to EU visa-free but no Middle Eastern country except for Israel & UAE can go visa-free, sometimes even getting a visa is extremely difficult!
