Kurdish Leaders Extend Warm Wishes to Kakaiys on Qultas Holiday

ERBIL — Senior Kurdish leaders extended their congratulations to the Kakaiy community on the occasion of the Qultas festival, emphasizing their contributions to Kurdish society and expressing hopes for peace and harmony.

Kurdish leader Masoud Barzani, president of the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP), expressed his warm wishes to the Kakai people. “On the occasion of the return of the Kakaiy festival of Qultas, I warmly congratulate the brothers and sisters of the Kakaiy of Kurdistan,” he said. He extended his hopes for a peaceful celebration and a future free from hardships.

Kurdistan Region President Nechirvan Barzani and Prime Minister Masrour Barzani also issued congratulatory messages.

The Prime Minister, in a statement from the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG), highlighted the Kakaiy community’s vital role in the Kurdish liberation movement. “On the occasion of Qultas Day, I would like to extend my warm congratulations to the Kakaiy brothers and sisters in Kurdistan and around the world. I hope they have a joyful and peaceful holiday celebration,” he said. He praised the community’s sacrifices and reaffirmed the government’s commitment to protecting their rights.

The Kakaiys, followers of Yarsanism, are primarily located in Iraq, Iran, and Turkey. In the Kurdistan Region, they are recognized as ethnic Kurds with a distinct religious identity. Despite centuries of religious persecution, the community has remained resilient, though it often avoids public attention due to historical oppression.

In Iraq’s disputed territories, including Kirkuk and Nineveh, the Kakaiys have faced targeted violence, particularly during ISIS’s rise in 2014. Thousands of families fled their homes, with many lamenting the lack of international attention compared to other minority groups.

Estimates suggest over 100,000 Kakaiys live across Iraq, primarily in rural areas. Leaders in the Kurdistan Region have consistently advocated for their inclusion and protection, recognizing their cultural and historical significance.
