Kurdistan: The People the Map Left Out
Original: Kurdistan I, the People the Map Left Out https:// fed.brid.gy/r/https://www.pres senza.com/2026/10/kurdistan-i-the-peopl
A new commentary piece argues that the Kurds remain the world's largest stateless people, divided across Turkey, Iraq, Iran and Syria despite a century of promises of self-determination. The article recounts how post-World War One border settlements left Kurdistan off the map, and stresses continued Kurdish struggles for recognition, cultural rights and autonomy, framing it as an unresolved question of international justice.
Why now: Ongoing Kurdish political struggles and debates over self-determination keep the statelessness of the Kurdish people in public discussion.
