Western press ignores protests, actions and murder i Sulaymaniyah

Someone Tweeted for US President Joe Biden, putting a video of him up at his account where he declares, "We know about our infrastructure problem.  We've known  it for a long time.  Now we're finally doing something about it.  No more talking.  Time for action."

The video currently has one response:


Were you not in office for 8 years less than 5 years ago, and senator for 30+ before that? So how did you let it get so bad all those "shovel ready" Billion$ ago? What were you supporting then, building affordable housing in Iraq with your brother?

Those protests are being ignored -- again -- by the western press.  


In fact, they ignore all news related to Sulaymaniyah.   A24 reports:


To mark the 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence, the Civil Development Organization in Sulaymaniyah launched an event to raise awareness on violence against women. The event featured women dummies lined up in the garden, who represented victims of violence. Visitors can hear their sorrowful stories through microphones attached to those dummies. According to the latest statistics, the number of victims of violence has surged despite deterrent laws. In the last 8 months, 10 women lost their lives in an honor killing.



And a death took place during this period of raising awareness.  Khanzad Organization notes:


With great sadness and sorrow, (Captain / Muhammad Latif), the officer at Directorate of Combating Violence against Women and the Family, was martyred last night while performing his official duties in the city of Sulaymaniyah. *
