DESCRIPTION:Kani Xulam is a native of Kurdistan. He studied International Relations at the University of Toronto\, holds a BA in history from the University of California Santa Barbara and an MA in the International Service program at American University. \nAt the University of Toronto\, he represented Kurdistan at the Model United Nations\, which passed a nonbinding resolution recognizing the right of the Kurdish people to self-determination.\nAt the University of California Santa Barbara\, he was part of a group of peace activists who protested the first Gulf War by taking part in a sit-in at Chancellor’s office in January 1991. Everyone was arrested. Mr. Xulam pled not guilty\, defended himself\, and was sentenced to 18 hours of community service to plant saplings in Santa Barbara. \nIn 1993\, at the urging of Kurdish community leaders in America\, he left his family business in Santa Barbara\, California to establish the American Kurdish Information Network (AKIN) in the nation’s capital. AKIN is a nonprofit organization dedicated to fostering Kurdish-American understanding and friendship. \nClick here to register for this live event now
