Kurdistan

For two centuries the Kurdish people have been fighting for independence from their Arab neighbors. The Kurdish region is located along the border where Iran, Iraq, Turkey, and Syria meet. The Kurds have been subject to repression and often genocide but continue to fight for independence. Today we will look at the most recent economic skirmish between the new Iraqi government and the Kurds. At first, it may appear that it is simply a battle for Oil revenue but there is more to it than that.
