    Don’t you think you try a little to hard to portray KRG as somehow anti-Iran!? From Dec. 2014: “Another report reveals that Nechervan Barzani…met with top American and British officials…and then went almost immediately to meet with an Iranian official to tell him everything.”

    Another key US ally in the region goes for caution and neutrality. A real sense of unease across regional capitals. Erbil was the target of a rocket attack just two months ago.

    This is the extraordinary story of how a senior Syrian general in charge of an intelligence branch alleged to have carried out war crimes gained asylum in Europe with the help of Western and Israeli intelligence. It's a wild ride but I'll try to summarise.

    I follow the KDP-PKK issue to the very day to day details. I’ve been critical of both: I don’t understand what is the point of shallow, simplistic articles that doesn’t scratch even the surface of the issue? I mean, we’re accustomed to simplistic articles on the ME but still..

    The least KRG can do is expel this man from Peshmarga and send him to trial for breaching multiple laws. I doubt any of this will happen.

    A 42-year-old man in a town in north Erbil, has married a 14-years old girl in exchange of 5M Iraqi dinar that the girl’s father owed the man. The man is Peshmarga and already have three other wives. Underage marriage and polygamy (largely) are illegal by law on paper in KRI.

    The cabinet has a good PR team for foreign audience and shows on paper to have a plan to improve services via privatisation. But in reality, corruption has drastically increased; smuggling by top leaders have gone out of hand; and their monopoly over market have deepened.
