Gorran, or the opposition " Movement for Change" in
Iraqi Kurdistan, flourished to magnetize such a
large number of supporters in such a concise span of
time that astounded the influential Kurdish
two-party ruling coalition ( PUK and KDP), despite
unlimited resources at their disposal.
It was a great victory for the newly-founded party.
Battling corruption topped the movement's priority
list in last election campaigns. It was the right
strategy and effective slogan because Kurdistan was
was being severely paralyzed from corruption
epidemic at that time. It definitely and drastically
helped boost up party's popularity and influence
among diverse Kurdish voters.
Experience suggests that the world-wide phenomenon
of corruption can only be minimized, but it will
continue to exist. |

An example is the unaccounted,
understated missing 30 billion dollars allocated
budget for the ongoing wars by the US government.
Acknowledging their shortcomings, both KDP and PUK
put their joint efforts together to execute
immediate reform packages in a bid to neutralize the
powerful tactics applied by Gorran.
In the wake of last February's suppressed public
unrest in Sulaimaniyah, support for Gorran seems to
be gradually waning. The opponents have plagiarized
Gorran's ideas, therefore, to prevail in next
elections, Gorranists must deliver something that
has never been achieved by any other Kurdish
political party during our history of struggle,www.ekurd.netand
that is to sell the notion and truly work to
establish an independent Kurdish state in North of
Iraq. Independence is the only strongest motto that
can rally Kurdish populace under Gorran's banner.
As a revolutionizing party holding firm belief in
reforms, Gorran must be willing to change by
constantly changing its own strategies and
objectives, as well!
Baqi Barzani is a Kurdish citizen of Sought
Kurdistan [Iraq]. He advocates the notion of "
establishing an independent Kurdish state". He
contributes to various Kurdish media outlets,
especially ekurd.net.
