In regards to “allegations that the Peshmerga were systematically destroying Arab homes in towns and villages they had liberated”, a bit of context is important.
Saddam had instituted a massive ethnic cleansing operation to “Arabize” traditionally Kurdish areas, where there was oil (Kirkuk), or that were near strategic areas like major cities or border areas.
Lots of the Kurds liberating areas from ISIS personally lived through being expelled from those areas by the Ba’athists.
I see. Thanks.
Do you think a partitioning of Iraq will be warranted or in the pipeline, in the foreseeable future?
