The village of Sergele in Iraqi Kurdistan faces increasing threats from Turkish military expansion, which has led to loss of land and civilian casualties. Farmers like Sherwan Sherwan Sergeli and Salam Saeed express their despair over the occupation and military presence, which has turned their once-thriving agricultural community into a conflict zone. The Turkish military's actions are part of a broader strategy against the PKK, but have resulted in significant harm to local civilians. The Kurdish authorities have been criticized for their complicity and failure to protect their citizens.
