In the centre of the flag of Kurdistan is that great marvellous Golden Sun which is occluded by yet more rain here in Amsterdam today. But yesterday the Sun lit up this pretty Kurd Cinquefoil, Potentilla kurdica, in the Hortus Botanicus.
This Potentilla was collected by that insatiably adventurous naturalist traveller, the Austrian Karl Georg Theodor Kotschy (1813-1866), whom I've mentioned occasionally in these notes; latterly at www.flickr.com/photos/87453322@N00/33432003762/in/photoli....
One of his daunting exploratory trips was to Kurdistan, and he collected this plant on the slopes of Mount Gara north of Duhok more or less in the centre of the triangle formed by Mosul in the south, Şirnex (Şırnak) in the northwest and Colemêrg (Hakkâri) in the northeast. Kolschy notes (1841/3) that this plant grows in that rugged terrain 'next to mountainous brooks'.
In the Hortus our not yet opened flower is being mined for pollen by Syrphus ribesii, Common Banded Hoverfly. To show the five petals (=Cinquefoil) of this Potentilla, I've put in an inset; here the hoverfly is a Sphaerophoria. I've seen these same kinds of Hoverflies around Hakkâri and Yüksekova (Gever).
Khinnis is an Assyrian archaeological site (also known as Bavian, its neighbouring village) in Duhok Governorate in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq. It is notable for its rock reliefs, built by king Sennacherib around 690 BC.
Reliefs of Bavian (after Layard) as included in J.H.Wright's 1905 book of universal history
During the reign of Sennacherib (705–681 BC), Khinnis was built in order to "celebrate the construction of a complex system of canals whose aim was to supply the capital of the empire

Erbil is marking the 28th anniversary of the city’s uprising with a 10-day long festival.
The ‘Azadi [freedom] and Newroz [New Year]’ festival kicked off in front of Erbil citadel on Monday with music and dancing.
“It’s joy and happiness. These events are getting better every year. Thanks to God that the crises are ending and the people will have better life,” said singer Arab Osman of the event.
The wave of uprisings against the Baathist regime of Saddam Hussein started in Raniya on March 5, 1991, spreading to Sulaimani on March 7, Erbil on the 11th, Duhok on the 14th, and culminating in Kirkuk on the 21st, coinciding with the Newroz festival...

NEWROZA WE PÎROZ BE!
Happy Newroz, Kurdish New Year, but also for all other Iranian peoples (Persians, Afghans, Tajiks ...), Newroz celebrates the Spring, the Rebirth of Life and Nature, and for Kurds it symbolizes the Freedom, in fact according to the kurdish legend, Kawa the Blacksmith killed the evil king Zohak and freed from tyranny all peoples of the empire. That's why Newroz is also the National Kurdish Day.

ئەو رۆژانە قەت لەبیر ناکەین کەچۆن خاکتان فرۆشت
The most beautiful moments when God surprises you with something beautiful waiting for it , and calling him .. You smile, and close your eyes, and says in your secret: "I knew you would not forget me, my God"
أجمل اللحظات حين يفاجئك الله بشيء جميل كنت تنتظره، وتدعو به .. فتبتسم شفتاك، وتغمض عينيك، وتقول في سرك : " كنت أعلم أنك لن تردني يا الله "
Who Are The Kurds?
كورد كييه؟
There is a saying among the Kurds: "No friends but the mountains." For, indeed, the world has scarcely noticed when century after century, conqueror after conqueror has driven these once nomadic tribes deep within their beloved mountains to preserve their culture, their language and their lives.
Hidden in the shadows of history, resistance against repression became the Kurdish way of life, until atrocities inflicted by a dictator named Saddam Hussein sent shock waves throughout the world causing people of ever nation to ask, "Who are the Kurds?"
For many, awareness arrived on 'Bloody Friday' in March of nineteen eighty-eight when Saddam dropped poisonous gas on the Kurdish city of Halabja killing five thousand within minutes, followed by seven thousand more as the bombing continued for days.
Halabja was not Saddam's only chemical attack against Iraq's Kurds, it was simply the worst, captured in all its horrific detail, making it a symbol of the atrocities committed by Saddam Hussein.
INTERVIEW: RIZGAR HAMAWANDI
Saddam tried to wipe Kurdish people from the face of the earth. The people in Kurdistan are so happy because of the liberation and because now they can live in peace and free.
NARRATOR:
To trace the history of the Kurds, one must begin at the beginning -- for it was here, in the land some believe was once the Garden of Eden, that this resilient ancient people first left their mark upon the world.
Nourished by the headwaters of the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers, archeologists believe it was within this Cradle of Civilization that Kurdish ancestors first pioneered agriculture, animal husbandry, weaving, metal work and the making of pottery.
NARRATOR:
For visitors, a trip through the land of the Kurds is a trip through Biblical history. The great prophets Nahum, Jonah, Habakkuk, and Daniel are all buried within the vast borders of what came to be known as Kurdistan.
The city of Amadiya still stands, marking the place many believe wise men known as magi began their journey to follow a great star that appeared in the sky.
As centuries passed, these tribes would fall to the forces of Alexander the Great at the Battle of Gaugamela...and later rise to their zenith as traders along the legendary Silk Road.
In time the Mongol hordes would make them prisoners...followed by the Ottomans who would make them princes.
But whether their occupiers were good or bad, killers or saints, the Kurds would learn to do what they must to survive.
At the end of World War I the Kurds were finally promised independence with the dismantling of the Ottoman Empire and the creation of new nation-states. Instead, with the stroke of a pen, Kurdistan was parceled out among Turkey, Syria, Iran and Iraq.
Today, the world's thirty million Kurds, equivalent to the population of Canada, make up the largest ethnic group in existence without a recognized state of their own.

Assyrians in Duhok province marked the 6769th Babylonian Assyrian New Year on Monday.
The Akitu festival marks the rebirth of nature in the spring, securing the life and future of the people for the coming year.
Traditionally a twelve-day festival, it begins on the first new moon after the spring equinox and is dedicated to the rebirth of Marduk and his victory when he created the world out of chaos.
In Akitu, the king is reminded of his humility and role as a servant dedicated to caring for his people by being stripped of his regalia and struck in the face by the head priest.
Akitu is one of the oldest recorded religious festivals in the world.
كوردستان، بلداً محب الحیاة، وطناً رمزاً للسلام و تعایش الادیان والاقوام، وفغراً للاجيال.
نبارك يوم العید الكلدانین و الاشورین.

The barbaric attacks against innocent people in Sri Lanka are yet another reminder that the forces against our common global values are still trying to prevent peace, coexistence and religious diversity. Our thoughts and prayers are with victims, survivors and people of Sri Lanka
Wishing the Christians of the Kurdistan Region, Iraq and all who celebrate this holiday across the world, a happy and blessed Easter
I extend my warmest wishes to Christians in Kurdistan and around the world on Easter.
I thank our Christian community for their contributions to making Kurdistan a better and safer nation.
Diversity makes us a stronger and more resilient country .
