Will the Iraqi Kurds be a collateral sufferer of the battle in Ukraine? In and round Erbil, the capital of Iraqi Kurdistan, Islamic State is again. It’s elevating its head in Sulaymaniyah. It’s retaking its positions within the caves and tunnels of the Qaraqosh mountains. Alongside the previous Sector 6 entrance, round Gwer, every day, ISIS assessments the capability of Gen. Sirwan Barzani, a frontrunner of the Peshmerga, the regional army drive.
The Kurds’ European and American companions don’t appear to understand the hazard. They seem to treat ISIS as a tumor that has been excised, when it’s extra like mercury—a toxic liquid that vaporizes and rests in suspension, ready for its adversaries to decrease their guard so it may possibly condense anew. That’s what is unfolding in Iraqi Kurdistan.
