On the 25th of September 2017, the part of Kurdistan that England once assigned Iraq will be holding a referendum for independence. This is a first in this part of the world, where despotism has oft supressed democracy and the freedom of peoples. Despite threats of military intervention from neighbouring countries, the desire for self-governance is a voice that rings truer than that of brutal force and barbarism.
Kabylia praises this event, and those who made it possible. The Anavad (temporary Kabyle government-in-exile) will recognize the Kurdish independence verified by the ballots.
