About the Kurdistan Social Democratic Party
The Kurdistan Social Democratic Party continues its legacy of struggle and sacrifice for the land of Kurdistan and the rights of the Kurdish people.
The Kurdistan Social Democratic Party (K.S.D.P) is the inheritor of a rich history and identity that began in 1976. As a national and popular party, it has played a pivotal role in the political, military, and revolutionary movements of Kurdistan throughout its history.
Throughout its history, it has stood against the oppressive policies imposed on the Kurdish people. In the most challenging times, it endured the martyrdom of leaders such as Saleh Abdulrahman Najmadin, known as Saleh Yousif, along with many comrades, while remaining steadfast in its struggle to achieve its goals.
