Photo by @edkashi/ @viiphoto: #Guerillas from the Kurdistan Workers Party, #PKK, train in the in the BekaaValley of #Lebanon on May 16, 1991. The graduates will join the PKK's insurgency in Turkey, where more than 3,700 people have been killed since 1984. The Kurds are the largest ethnic group in the world without a nation, numbering over twenty million people with a common language and culture. For centuries, the Kurds have “lived like other large minorities, by sniffing the wind and being tactically adroit.” After World War I, Kurdish history came to a virtual standstill when the region known as Kurdistan was divided between five newly formed nations: Iran, Iraq, Turkey, Syria, and the former Soviet Republic of Armenia. This partitioning by the League of Nations obliterated thousands of years of Kurdish claims to the region. Their past has been filled with oppression, exploitation and betrayal. This image was featured in the “National Geographic Masters of Photography” course, that was recently on DVD and online. Taught by @NatGeophotographers, Ed Kashi is included in the roster of instructors for this educational resource.
