An Kurdish-Iraqi Halabja genocide survivor committed suicide today in Halabja, that was suffering from the financial difficulties and the Kurdistan Region Government’s carelessness to take care of the poor.
I will translate the letter he left behind to understand the reasons behind his hopelessness:
“My End
When there is no bit of tranquility in life, when I have never lived as a human being, when I was not given my human rights I deserve, why should I own this life? Therefore, life has no meanings for me anymore other than grief and pain. Down to the KDP and the PUK… I have only one regret; I couldn’t see your humiliation and end. Finally, I call you people. Please take care of my children so that they will not get lost.
God be with you.

Kawa Hama Amin was born in Halabja in the beginning of 1980s. He survived the Halabja chemical attack in 1988. He became a refugee in Iran and as a prisoner tortured in the infamous Baathist concentration prison of Nugra Salman.
