CALGARY, — There
are thousands of reasons that each ethnic community
have to have their own association and the example
of killing a Kurdish homeless in Montreal ( Mr.
Farshad ) is one of them. I have been informed from
the Kurdish community members do not know what to do
with the body of Farshad who has been killed by
police yesterday.
The reason that the community do not have plan for
this crisis because still they do not have a united
community association to protect their right or even
what to when such things like this happen. Kurds
have to rethink about the way they have been living
in North America, yesterday a guy has been killed in
Vancouver and Mexico. Now today there is one killed
in Montreal. If you think close enough you would
know what are the reasons that these event happened.
The first, reason in both cases is there was enough
support form the community to these individuals to
not let these event to prevented. Both been killed
by polices one was according to the police report in
Mexico was drug and gung related and these are
community responsibilities to make sure that these
type of ideas would not be getting to the community.
The second,www.ekurd.net
case again the individual became homeless in
Montreal. Everyone understand that homelessness is
available in every city of Canada and USA but the
reason of Farshad case is once again the community
has not been strong enough to deal and discuss the
situation to prevent to lead of killing.
Kurds have been having a very week community
association in Canada and USA. Kurds have to relook
at the way they create associations. These are few
suggestions that I believe Kurds thinks about when
building an association.
1. Association has to be build in a cultural bases
far away from optical view because Kurds has never
had their own country and that would divide Kurds as
soon as start in a political way in any association
they need to have.
2. Having association it does not means to have
party and new year, or Newroz (they can be a small
part) but not only celebration and dance, there are
hundred of other important activities that need to
be done practically such as having a Kurdish house,
school, parenting, language, housing and
recreations.
3. Kurds does not have their won country, it is
important to think to build a strong association who
would bring them together to have one voice because
of their nationality situation.
4. Any association that need to be strong and stable
have to be registered and has its own members not to
have one which would only for few months or for one
celebration.
Kurds are facing serious problems in North America,
there might be worse and worse. Therefore, Kurdish
community has to start from somewhere as positive as
they can be and there has to use different mouthed
of communication and stratagems to cope with the
future of themselves and the future of their
children.
