BAGHDAD - Faleh Hassan panic
The head of the Kurdistan Regional Government, that the Kurds are not a party to the current crisis, with Prime Minister that the Kurds are all hungry for a separate homeland, adding that if not achieved a "democratic Iraq, a peaceful, federal," they will not risk taking what they got, as quoted New York Times, in a report yesterday.
The newspaper said that the fruits of the war for the Kurds, here in the city of Arbil, many show clear and visible. Frafat construction above in the sky of the city, and aspects of the highways green shrubs, and shopping malls sparkle, and stands where the number of skiing as a totem style of life the American consumer, and the walls are the only anti-explosions that one sees, are those that protect the building of the regional parliament, but decorated with drawings flowers sun shaded pale yellow.
The paper, that of all the Iraqis, the Kurds are more beneficiaries of the war, and now they are the biggest losers if turned into political chaos that followed the departure of U.S. forces to the civil war.
And wondering Barham Salih, prime minister of the Kurdistan Regional Government, "Are we worried? Yes, we are concerned", following that "our national interest as Kurds lies in the existence of a federal democratic Iraq, peaceful, and still have a long way before we get to this".
In the view of the newspaper that the end of the U.S. military role in Iraq, is a turning point for the Kurds, who were protected by the United States for 20 years, starting from the 1991 Gulf War, when he took over the humanitarian operation to impose no-fly zone halted the machine to kill Saddam Hussein. And now raises strengthen Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki to power, painful memories of the suffering of the Kurds, however, a strong central government in Baghdad, and that the withdrawal puts the Kurds in a weak position to exercise the role of peacemakers between the factions, Shiite and Sunni rival, and this battle is placed in the future of the Kurds is at stake.
And went for that "Every Kurd is hungry for an independent homeland, which I do not doubt it," but he added, saying, "we accepted also to live as part of Iraq, a peaceful, democratic, federal, and if still this hope, I do not think that the Kurds would be willing to risk what we got him. "
The newspaper pointed out that the current crisis, they say politicians reported that it took the country to the brink of civil war broke out nearly two weeks ago, after the departure of the last U.S. troops, the government issued Maliki ordered a judicial arrest of Vice President Tariq al-Hashemi, on charges led death squads. Hashemi fled to the semi-autonomous Kurdish region in the north, to escape arrest, while the Kurds, Maliki warned of a "trouble", if not re-Hashemi.
The paper went on to say that the Kurds, who do not seem to have the intention to comply with the request to al-Maliki, they were not happy to be drawn into a conflict between Sunnis and Shiites, as head of government of Kurdistan, Massoud Barzani, "we are not part of the problem."
But with the future of Iraq after the war in the balance, it is not able to avoid the Kurds to be part of the solution, as you can see the newspaper. Valdeplomaseon Americans, who often decrease their influence in Iraq after the U.S. withdrawal, they called the Kurdish leader and Iraqi President Jalal Talabani, a meeting of the Iraqi leadership. But so far no agreement has been reached even at the venue of the meeting, the Kurds say he should be in the north, while pushing toward the held-Maliki in Baghdad.
And alerted the newspaper that the Government of National Unity, which was formed last year, at the initiative of the Kurds, and the distribution of roles, including a large three main factions, reeling now, as al-Maliki threatened to form a new government controlled by the Shiite majority, and this would effectively marginalize the year. But al-Maliki to achieve this, it needs to support the Kurds in the parliament, and this possibility is unlikely. Barzani said in an interview with the newspaper, in his huge outside of Erbil, which is surrounded by mountains of squatting on the peaks of ice, and the places they lived generations of guerrillas, said that "this will be the most dangerous step," adding, "There should be a partnership between the Shiites and Sunnis and the Kurds, and anything otherwise would be catastrophic. "
He commented that any benefit of a Kurdish-Shiite coalition, plans to marginalize the year, would mean "the end of Iraq as we know it now."
The newspaper believes that the Kurds do not have any great love for the year, although the majority of Kurds are Sunni, the government of Saddam's Sunni Arabs are accused of committing genocide against the Kurds, but the Kurds are seeking to calm the year by about safe, through the Government of power sharing, Rather than risk the renewal of violence and disorder.
The newspaper added that the Sunni leaders of the province of Diyala, a mixed area is seeking to acquire greater independence from central government, also fled to Kurdistan, noting that the Kurds are deep emotional ties to the United States.
He concluded his speech in favor of saying, "If you ask most of the Kurds, said the U.S. military left Iraq too early."
The newspaper noted that the Kurdish leaders believe in the federal system, and support the efforts of other provinces in the formation of provinces such as Diyala and Anbar, an overwhelmingly Sunni Muslim, and this is opposed by al-Maliki as a threat to Shiite dominance, as you go the paper, pointing out that most of the Kurds, at the time aspiring to statehood their own in the end, the move towards independence carries with it risks spark a regional war with Iran, Turkey and Syria, where Kurdish minorities, these countries see the Iraqi Kurds assert a state, is involved in the induction. But even now sees the Kurds that the best hopes of maintaining their independence, within the framework of a unified Iraq.
Najm al-Din said Karim, a U.S. citizen, and now assume the post of governor of Kirkuk, "If the division over Iraq, it is not because the Kurds want it .. but because the others were unable to keep it united for longer."
