A river is a resource, your home is your property.
Most of the time it's obvious. I do not like one rich guy to own a vital
thing like the water supply or an area's resource wealth.

I believe it's correct to rebalance power relations. That means giving
power away from the majority. Also you have to know that in that part of
the word, people are identified by labels like Sunni Arab, Sunni Kurd,
Shia Arab, Shia Kurd, Assyrian, Assyriac, Yezidi, Christian Arab,
Christian Kurd, ... and many other groups. The Kurds have been oppressed
for years, and based on their experience of being the biggest people on
the globe without a country, and being split as minorities among their
host countries. This was a tactic of the powers, split them up to
suppress their identity making them a minority in their host countries.
It's from this they've developed an anti-state, local power ideology.
