  How Did the Islamic World Abandon Its Nations? Author: Gouya Roshan (Güya Aydın)  I never complain about foreigners, because my pain comes from seeing daggers drawn from the sleeves of the familiar. In a world that carries the name of Islam, there are people who, under the banner of Islam, are homeless, hungry, displaced, and massacred. Before I complain about the West, before I point the finger at Zionism and imperialism, I speak of the silence, betrayal, and inaction of the Islamic world. Whatever was done to me, it was done by the familiar... and this bitter confession is the beginning of my story. In the midst of this, there are painful and revealing examples that clearly show the true face of the Islamic world. Palestine, Rohingya, Yemen, and Afghanistan are four prominent examples of peoples who have fallen victim to empty slogans, conscienceless politics, and blatant betrayal. They are mirrors that reflect not the foreign enemies, but the indifference of their Muslim ...

The Genocide of the Palestinian People Author: Gouya Roshan (Güya Aydın )  Why does the world, which constantly speaks of human rights, remain silent in the face of widespread killing and oppression of the Palestinian people? Why is the voice of the Palestinian people—who have endured years of pressure and violence and now live in unbearable conditions—muted amid all the grand speeches and slogans about human rights? The massacre of Palestinians is not only a human catastrophe, but a massive failure for all of humanity. This silence may be due to national interests and political concerns, but at its core, it reflects a lack of will and courage to stand with the oppressed. Even organizations that claim to defend human rights are either complicit with the oppressors or utterly incapable—more like puppets playing roles with no impact on this grim reality. Some media outlets, such as Al Jazeera and Iran International, have repeatedly reported on these issues and supported Palestinians....

China’s Hypocrisy: Crocodile Tears for Palestine, Torture for the Uyghurs Author: Gouya Roshan (Güya Aydın ) In a world where truth is buried beneath the ashes of politics, China presents one of the greatest hypocrisies of the modern era. Images of its humanitarian aid to Palestine can be seen on television today—packages bearing the Chinese flag, medical supplies, and promises to rebuild Gaza. But behind this humanitarian façade lies a dark and painful stain: torture and inhumane camps in Xinjiang, where millions of Uyghur Muslims are being suppressed in the silence of the world. China is a country that shows no mercy even to its own Muslims. In a nation where Islam is equated with extremism, children are torn from their families for "re-education." The Quran is banned, fasting is criminalized, and wearing a beard or hijab is considered an unforgivable offense. Mosques have been violently destroyed, their domes collapsed. The call to prayer can no longer be heard in the stre...

When a child is sold to feed a family, all slogans become meaningless. Author: Gouya Roshan (Güya Aydın ) Afghanistan, a country with a tumultuous history, is today trapped in a deadly cycle of poverty, instability, and extremism. Amidst this crisis, silent and defenseless children have become commodities in the dark markets of human trafficking. Poverty is no longer merely an economic crisis; it has become a monster devouring the body and soul of a nation. When there is no functioning government, when international institutions remain silent, and when borders turn into walls of indifference, the only thing that remains is the silent suffering of a people. This article is a narrative of what the world does not see—or chooses not to see. After the return of the Taliban, Afghanistan quickly descended into hunger and unemployment. In many provinces, families cannot even afford dinner. But when there is no bread at home, a mother may be forced to give her eight-year-old daughter to a fifty...

"Tyranny, the Shah, and SAVAK Author: Gouya Roshan (Güya Aydın) The Hidden Stories and Silent Sorrows at the Heart of Iran’s History Deep within the history of Iran, stories remain concealed tales of suffering, injustice, and imposed silence. These are the accounts of lives lived in the shadows of tyranny: people who were tortured, disappeared, and forgotten.This narrative is the true story of a four-year-old child and their family—a family that breathed not in peace and safety, but in fear and uncertainty. It is a story of a silenced conscience, suppressed anger, and a truth that was never given the chance to scream. In these lines, we speak of the simple and humane life of a family whose only crime was possessing a conscience. At a time when the darkness of SAVAK had cast its shadow over the country, I was no more than four years old. I did not know what a prison was, nor had I heard the word “SAVAK.” That morning, my mother woke me and my seven-year-old brother and took us some...

Anti-Immigration Sentiment: A Global Wound Deepened by the West  Author: Gouya Roshan (Güya Aydın )  In a world that increasingly speaks of “human dignity,” a phenomenon called anti-immigration sentiment is silently spreading. It is a phenomenon that not only tramples on human rights but also reveals the hypocritical face of many governments, institutions, and even modern societies. For years, Western media and governments from Europe to the United States and many other countries have positioned themselves as judges and watchdogs of other nations’ behavior. With human rights posturing, they have criticized countries like Iran for discriminating against immigrants, especially Afghans. These criticisms, while often justified and necessary, are now met with irony. Today, however, anti-immigration sentiment is being institutionalized, legalized, and even legitimized beyond our borders in Europe and the United States. In some ways, what is happening in the West is even more blatant...

  Suspicious Death of Seyyed Ahmad Khomeini and the Silence of the Regime Author: Gouya Roshan (Güya Aydın ) The suspicious death of Seyyed Ahmad Khomeini, much like the tragic bus accident that claimed the lives of many writers, the deaths of Armenian Church leaders, Dr. Abdul Rahman Ghassemlou, and numerous other mysterious deaths during Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani’s presidency, cannot be overlooked. Ignoring these events means sacrificing the national interests of Iran and its people. In October and December 1994, Seyyed Ahmad Khomeini openly criticized the deteriorating economic conditions affecting low-income people and the inflation that had worsened after the death of his father, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini. According to Mr. Sh.F., who worked in the Presidential Office at that time, the Ministry of Intelligence began monitoring Seyyed Ahmad’s movements after these speeches. Suddenly, it was announced that he had suffered a heart attack. He passed away at age 49 in late December...

The Man of a Thousand Faces of the Middle East   Author: Gouya Roshan (Güya Aydın ) An Analysis of Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and Layered Power Politics in the Contemporary World In the complex and multilayered world of politics, there occasionally emerge figures who cannot be easily confined within conventional definitions, personalities who defy being described with a single word or defined by just one trait. Recep Tayyip Erdoğan is undoubtedly one of these figures, a man of a thousand masks, roles, and tactics. He is not merely a politician, but also a master director on the stage of power; he sets the scene, reshapes the roles, and quietly shifts the pieces without seemingly offending anyone. To some, he is the voice of the people and a savior for the poor; to others, he is one of the most cunning political figures of our time. Erdoğan began his political career with a reformist image, close to the religious and populist segments of society. He revitalized the economy, smiled at the ...

Barzani and the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK)  Author: Gouya Roshan (Güya Aydın )  Barzani and the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) have had a complex relationship since their inception. In the early stages, the two groups were quite close and cooperated in the Kurdish struggle. Barzani, as the leader of the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) in Iraq, and the PKK, as an armed paramilitary group in Turkey, occasionally joined forces to fight against common enemies such as the governments of Turkey and Iraq. However, over time, this relationship changed significantly for various reasons. One of the main causes of this shift was the difference in political and strategic approaches between the two sides. Barzani focused more on diplomacy and dialogue with regional governments, particularly those of Iraq and Turkey, while the PKK, especially after leadership changes in the 1990s and 2000s, adopted more radical policies and continued its armed struggle within Turkey. In recent years, e...

l From Abduction and Torture in Damascus to Survival Author: Gouya Roshan (Güya Aydın )  A Traumatic Experience and the Role of International Organizations in Saving Human Lives Today, many people around the world face humanitarian crises and serious human rights violations. Some are trapped in such dire circumstances that without the help of the global community, they cannot escape oppression. In 2010, I was one of the victims of such a crisis. My abduction in Damascus, the capital of Syria, changed not only my life but also the fate of my family. In this article, I will recount the painful experience I went through and highlight the vital role international organizations played in saving me and my family. In August 2010, I was in Damascus as a regular visitor. I had no connection to Bashar al-Assad’s regime or any opposition groups. I was merely a tourist, walking through the streets and looking at shop windows. Suddenly, I was abducted by unknown individuals on one of the city’s...
