And not to forget, a bit reason why all of those countries don't want to give up that land is that the area kurdistan would cover is very rich in oil.

Also worth mentioning that the Kurds in Afghanistan had been faithful Allies to the US … till Trump pulled troops back and let Turkey attack them: https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-features/trump-betrayal-of-the-kurds-927545/amp/

I know what you meant, but those Kurds live in Syria.
Kurdistan is a region at the borders of Iraq, Iran, Syria and Turkey.

Those are Iraqi Kurds, not Afghani Kurds.

Countries in general don’t want to give up territories because it opens up an insane can of worms. Also if Kurdistan were to United, there’d be insane civil war; Iraqi, Iranian, Turkish and Syrian Kurds vary significantly
