The Kurdish people constitute a significant minority population in Middle Eastern countries to which they are native, namely Turkey, Iraq, Iran, and Syria. Numbering around 30 million, the Kurds have their own customs and language, which has resulted in them facing systematic prejudice and discrimination in these countries.

Given this persecution in their homeland and the denial of their right to self-determination, a large Kurdish diaspora has grown across the globe, including in the United States.

The American Friends of Kurdistan (AFK) organization advocates for both the Kurdish-Americans and the Kurdish community in the Middle East. Seeking to safeguard the national security interests of both the Kurdish people and the U.S., the AFK works to advance the U.S.-Kurdish partnership domestically and internationally.

Join us on Wednesday, November 3rd, at 12 pm ET, for an exclusive conversation with AFK co-founder Diliman Abdulkader about the work of his organization and his deep personal connection to the mission.
