Want to write, report, or podcast for The Amargi? We welcome your voice.

At The Amargi, we publish original journalism, analysis, and commentary related to Kurdistan, Iraq, Turkey, Syria, Iran, and the wider Middle East. Our work centers on issues tied to the Kurdish question, democratic struggles, political repression, resistance, gender justice, minority rights, environmental crises, and broader socio-political transformations in the region.

Whether you’re a seasoned journalist, an emerging writer, an academic, or someone with a powerful local story—if your pitch is grounded, insightful, and accurate, we want to hear from you.
