The Iraqi government has banned international flights to the Kurdish capital Irbil from 6pm this Friday, isolating the Kurds in Iraq to a degree they have not experienced since the overthrow of Saddam Hussein in 2003. The isolation is political as well as geographical as traditional Kurdish allies, like the US, UK, France and Germany, have opposed the referendum on Kurdish independence while near neighbours in Turkey, Iran and Baghdad are moving to squeeze the Kurds into submission. The referendum succeeded in showing that the Kurds, not just in Iraq but in Turkey, Iran and Syria, still yearn for their own state. Paradoxically, the outcome of the poll has demonstrated both the strength of their demand for self-determination and the weakness of their ability to obtain it. The Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) is revealed as a minnow whose freedom of action – and even its survival – depends on playing off one foreign state against the other and keeping tolerable relations with all of them, even when they detested each other. In the past an American envoy would go out one door just as the head of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards came in the other. https://uk.news.yahoo.com/kurdish-referendum-shown-yearning-independence-161500567.html |

Update: Iraqi forces to take control of Kurdish regional borders IRBIL, Iraq (AP) -- Iraq's military was preparing to take control of the international borders of the northern Kurdish region as a flight ban halted all international flights from servicing the territory's airports on Friday as the central government in Baghdad stepped up moves to isolate the Kurds following their vote on independence earlier this week. Iraqi troops now in Turkey and Iran would start on Saturday morning to enforce control over the border crossings out of the Kurdish region, Iraqi officials told The Associated Press. They will not enter the Kurdish region, but instead Iraqi customs administrators backed by the troops will set up control points just outside the Kurdish border stations, the officials said. https://www.yahoo.com/news/iraqi-ban-flights-kurdish-capital-irbil-begins-friday-061522959.html |

According to the situation on ground,the kurds look very determined by refusing to hand over the airport and border post to the iraqi government and according to Al abadi the region is so afraid of another zionist nation in making plus there situation can't be as bad as DPRK regarding sanctions.from my point of view they will survive.next week we will b witnessing Catalonia rising as well which will be much more interesting and ambazonia also getting there. |

Politics is a game of numbers, if you don't have the numbers and want to overreach yourself, you get a political whipping. |
