• Dady Dady, It is Eid in a few days, will you buy me new clothes?
    The father, who had no money, was silent and lowered his head .. After a while he slowly raised his head and looked out the window .. It was late winter, but it was still snowing and the border mountain was hard to reach its peak .. Snow and storm Was..
    30 years ago, a few days before Nowruz, he asked his father to buy him new clothes.
    His father, who had suffered from back pain due to the movement of goods across the border, had to take the difficult road back to the border mountains with his back pain.
    But instead of himself and his new clothes, his body and bloody clothes had returned home.
    Their Eid was mourned that year, and all other Eids ,hated Eid.
    Now, after 30 years, he was sitting right where his father was, and his son was sitting where he was, with the same request, “new clothes for Eid.”
    In the morning, before dawn, he left the house and joined a group of kulbars who had gathered to bring goods across the border. Their small village was at the foot of a high mountain and was a frontier mountain.
    They were not quite close to the border when the soldiers shot them.
    A few hours later, he returned his body and bloody clothes home .. They mourned their Eid again ..
    some years later..

This is the daily story of the border areas in Iranian Kurdistan.
The story of the kulbers .. Those who make a living by moving goods across the border between Iran and Iraq and Iran and Turkey.
Border areas are impassable and mined in many places. Which have survived since the eight-year Iran-Iraq war.
There are several military bases around the border.
The Kurdish regions of Iran are among the most underdeveloped regions of Iran, no factories and no facilities for agriculture and horticulture. Unemployment is very high in Kurdistan.
That is why many Kurds have to turn to Culbery for their livelihood and income.
Every year, about 100 kulbers are shot dead by Iranian troops. Several other kulburns also die from snow avalanches or from falling from heights.
If they are lucky and survive, they will develop lumbar disc or other diseases after a few years due to the weight of the load they move.
All these hardships are paid for 10 to 20 dollars ..
