What is life like for Kurds in Iran? Check out this fascinating deep dive feature by @Soranmansournia , where he analyzes the impact of urban planning and infrastructure on Kurdish expression and protests.

"After decades of uprisings, much has been documented about what happened when protesters entered the streets. But another history remains largely untold: what had already been done to those streets before the protesters arrived."

Delighted to see @MENAMinorities — a Washington-based think tank focused on Middle Eastern minorities — being launched. For too long, U.S. public policy has grown increasingly distant from minority issues as wealthy states pour money into DC. I welcome this initiative and will support it. Congratulations.

"The future of Iraqi Christians and other minorities depends on political representation, equal citizenship, security, economic opportunities, and the ability to preserve our language, culture, and heritage. ->

This is fantastic news! I’ll be keeping an eye on their work.
SO proud !!
Congratulations @MENAMinorities 🎉
And MAJOR kudos to everyone who has put so much heart and dedication into creating this platform for the region’s religious and ethnic minorities, who remain heavily oppressed, marginalized, and too often sidelined despite their deep historical roots in MENA.
Stay tuned for news, perspectives, and advocacy centering their voices and experiences ⬇️

Happy to share this piece that the one and only @vvanwilgenburg and I co-authored for @MENAMinorities.
No one bears the costs of political shifts and transformations across the MENA region more heavily than minorities and minoritized peoples.
Congratulations to MEMI on its launch! Delighted to contribute to its important work as a member of its Council of Experts.
