Contents Summary
A French television program about the Kurdish resistance in the north of Iraq. The moderator of the program, Noel Mamere, and his guests, Patrice Franceschi (member of “Solidarites” Association) and Jean-Christophe Rufin (author and founder of Médecins Sans Frontières), debate the Kurdish issue in relation to Iraq’s neighboring countries and the existing western support. The reports from Kurdistan contain interviews with humanitarian workers, western officials, Peshmerga fighters, Kurdish civilians, and even Kurdish children who are actively engaged in the Kurdish Resistance Movement. Topics covered: the situation of the Kurds in Baghdad, Erbil, Dohuk and Halabja; the use of chemical weapons and the systematic destruction of the Kurds; the Kurdish refugee crisis; the Gulf War and the role of the international community in providing humanitarian relief to the Kurds.
