It is with great regret that we learn of the passing of the renowned politician from Rojava (Western Kurdistan), Hamid Darwish. He was one of the founders of the first Kurdish political party in Rojava. He played a key role in the leadership of the party and was able to continue the struggle for a long time. His unfortunate death is painful news for all of us. On this occasion, I extend my condolences to all Kurdish people and to his esteemed family. May his soul rest in peace.
