SMCCDI (Information Service):

A heavy explosion rocked, this afternoon, a militia camp located in the northwestern City of Marivan by resulting in tens of wounded among Islamic republic's security forces.

The camp was established following the start of the wave of unrest and violent clashes that are taking place in the city and the region for the last two weeks.

This explosion which follows the increase of use of booby traps and guns against regime's security agents is showing the radicalization of the situation and the degree of popular exasperation. READ MORE

Also, more scattered protest actions and clashes took place, tonight, in several regional cities, such as, Sanandaj, Kermanshah and Mian-do-Ab. Noise of shooting were heard from several areas of these cities.

The number of security forces is in constant raise and massive arrests are made in the region. Many protesters filmed by security agents are arrested at their homes and are transferred to militia posts.

It's to note that more and more of region's residents are resorting to protest following President Bush's wise statement on the "need of respecting the territorial integrity of Iran". Till then, most residents of the Iranian provinces of Kurdistan and W. Azarbaijan were fearing to become indirect tools in service of few independentist groups who are targeting to split them from Iran.

To counter balance the escalation, the Islamic regime's intelligence circles have increased the propaganda activity and are spreading rumors about the existence of plot targeting to split the region from Iran. The theocratic leadership hopes to calm the situation by making fear to residents who are deeply attached to Iran. This attachment is deep and strong to the point that some ultra left wing Kurdish groups, such as Komelah, have officially renounced, since years, to independence, and are declaring seeking a better Kurdistan in the frame of a democratic and equitable Iran.

Kurds are from a branch of the Iranian peoples' family and their local language, such as Persian, is a derivation of Iranian languages. Such common roots and centuries of shared culture and history are the main causes of Iranian Kurds attachment to Iran, contrary to the situation existing in Iraq, Turkey and Syria where races and languages are totally different.

Iran was formerly known as Persia. This name change happened in 1935 in order to avoid any discrimination among Iranians of different ethnicity. Iran means the land of Free and all those living in the Iranian plateau.

Cyrus the Great, the unifier and founder of Iran, was of father Persian and of Mother Kurdish.
