Thank you for this. I am Kurdish, living in the UK. I usually follow both Iraqi and Kurdish news but somehow I was completely oblivious to the current uprising.

I wish the Iraqi people the best I hope you can either get the government to get their ass into gear or otherwise replace them. I have spoken to plenty of family members in Kurdistan and they're all wishing you all the best.

It's a sad state of affairs but I hope it works out for the better.
