America and France to unify Kurds! What do both really want?

The memory of the Kurds is still fresh about what France did in 1916 when it laid the foundations of dividing Kurdistan into four parts with Britain and left the Kurds suffering from the oppression of four authoritarian regimes in Iraq, Syria, Iran and Turkey.

After the World War II, the United States of America assumed global leadership from the two dominant powers, France and Britain. The international approach to the Kurdish issue did not change, which had always tried to keep it in the shadows or rather remove it from memory.

Those interested in the Kurdish history know that the United States of America contributed to the emergence of a Kurdish region when it imposed safe zone in the early nineties of the last century to protect it from Saddam Hussein and Iran. In addition, the United States played a prominent role in unifying the two dominant parties in the region, the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan and the Kurdistan Democratic Party.

The price was pushing the Kurdistan Democratic and the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan to fight the Kurdistan Liberation Movement (KLM) and investment contracts in the fields of energy, not to mention restrictions on Iranian influence in Iraq, which explains the Turkish silence towards the region, which in its calculations did not resist the Turkish occupation one day and did not come out on the American track in the Middle East.

The recent history proves that any international claims to unify the Kurds carry malicious intentions against the KLM that proposes democratic projects that create a democracy appropriate for religious and national pluralism not only in Kurdistan, but in the entire Middle East region.

As for Rojava, recently, America uncovered in its diplomatic agenda an initiative to unify the Kurds, which the last chapters of it was to withdrew its forces on October 9 last year to open the way for a Turkish attack on the northeast regions of Syria that led to a Turkish occupation accompanied by mercenary factions in the Serêkaniyê region and Tel Abyad district, knowing that the date of the attack coincided with Ocalan arrest in 1999, a conspiracy of the United States Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) with European powers alongside Turkey.

So why do America and France want to unify the Kurds? What do both want? Is it really an initiative to unify the Kurds or an attempt to infiltrate the ranks of the Kurds in return for long-term goals?

America and France are pushing towards a dialogue between the Democratic Union Party and the Kurdish National Council (ENKS), knowing that ENKS has close links with Turkey and the Kurdistan Democratic Party and Turkey since decades.

The raised slogan is to unify the Kurds, but there are other goals. Obviously, the United States is seeking to involve ENKS in administering the northeast Syria although ENKS has had little effort in what this region has achieved, and evades all calls of unification, but it responded to the American invitation.

So, the American goal is clear, an autonomous administration inlaid with ENKS in a way that secures America a long-term impact in northeast Syria that is rich in energy resources and adjacent to the areas of Russian as well as Iranian influence.

It is not excluded that the next American step after introducing ENKS in the Autonomous Administration is to strengthen ENKS, which means increase the influence of America later to control the decisions that are not consistent with the American strategy in Syria.

In the event that Assad is excluded from power in Syria, the formation of a new government and the adoption of a new federal constitution in Syria with Russian and American consensus does not meet Iran's expansionist ambitions in the region, it will be easier for America through coveted autonomous administration with ENKS to influence the Syrian decision, and ensure that Iran is neutralized, and not to leave the stage to Russia alone in Syria, which are all clear American goals.

In short, it appears that the American goal is to form a Syria similar to Iraq, just as America interferes in Iraq, Lebanon and other countries in the region through its affiliates as it apparently seeks to find affiliates in the administration to impose its vision, but America will not say this publicly, and it seems that the slogan of uniting the Kurds is appropriate to achieve that end.

If the United States of America was serious about uniting the Kurds, it would have faced severe Turkish opposition, but just as Turkey was silent about forming the Kurdistan Region because it did not contradict its interests, it would repeat the same position because America's strategy in Syria and Kurdistan in general does not contradict the Turkish strategy.

Therefore, the American special envoy to Syria, James Jeffrey, demanded the exit of foreign forces that entered Syria after 2011. If a pro-American administration in northern and eastern Syria, a pro-Turkish administration in the northwest and Damascus were completely subject to Russian influence, then there would be no need for foreign forces in Syria, perhaps not America's demand for the exit of Russian forces is to ensure Russia's control of Damascus, leaving no room for Iran to return and guarantee the security of Israel.
