Inspired by #Iraq's loss in both the #IranIraqWar and #1991GulfWar, #Shia rebels in the south and #Kurdish #Peshmerga in the north rose on #ThisDayInHistory in 1991. Over 100,000 died as a result of these uprisings against the #Baathists / #SaddamHussein, many in army massacres.

Sorry I've been busy and quiet, but I do want to cheer the flight of #Asad from Damascus. Shame it wasn't his father, decades ago. #HTS is shit, like the #Baathists, but it's a chance for #Rojava to gain legitimacy. What if Syria came back together under #DemocraticConfederalism?
