Eydey Shoresh — World Calendar Day
Regional/Cultural Day

Eydey Shoresh

In the Kurdistan Region, February 11th commemorates the 1991 uprising against Saddam Hussein. The celebration is distinct from Iraq's national holidays, because the Kurdish experience of Iraq is distinct from the Arab experience. The Peshmerga are honored, the Kurdish flag flies, and the memory of Anfal (the campaign that killed 180,000 Kurds) is present in every speech.

Animals of Ukraine Day

You spot European brown bears, gray wolves, and white storks inhabiting Ukraine's forests and wetlands. You find that dogs and cats dominate as household pets, with many Ukrainians also keeping canaries and budgerigars. ACADA celebrates the world's pets, and helps assure better care.
