This year, the Kurdistan forests, fields and farms have been hit by arson.The occupying powers' continued policy and warfare against Kurdistan has now expanded to include a new tactic, in several areas in southern, northern and eastern Kurdistan countryside and forests are burnt down with intent devastating the environment.
Most fires reported this year have occurred in Eastern Kurdistan (Iran), with the area of Zagros being hardest affected. According to Chya the Green organization 569 fires were reported only during the first 5 months of 2009 in the areas around Mariwan, Sewlawa, an estimated 7500 hectares of forests, fields, pastures and agriculture.
In Eastern Kurdistan (Iran), in the provinces of Ilam, Loristan, Kermanshah, Sineh (Kurdistan) and Urmiyeh, hundred cases of fires have occurred but due to the Iranian regime's censorship, official figures and statistics are lacking, as well as any reporting whatsoever in the media.
Also the forests, fruit groves and farms of Southern Kurdistan (Iraq) have been destroyed this year of systematic arson. Although the Kurds in southern Kurdistan are self-governing, most areas of the region have been afflicted by fires claiming human lives and livestock. The occurrence of fires has increased so drastically that the officials that quote: "invisible hands wish to wipe out Kurdistan's nature".
The Northern parts of Kurdistan (Turkey) have not been excluded from these arson attacks. Turkish military helicopters have bombed several areas with severe impact on the environment and burnt forests.
The repression and the systematic genocide against the Kurdish people has taken a new shape and affects Kurdistan in every way. We urge the international environmental and human rights organizations worldwide to protest, to act and help the rightless Kurdish people and its nature.
