Reason why Maliki sent military forces to Kirkuk

Newspaper Alkhbar Al-khaleej explains the real reason why maliki sent the none-Kurds army troops to Kirkuk:

Hundreds of Kurds militia members “Peshmergas” entered the city disguised as paramedics helping the explosion victim, the militia members were instructed by Barzani and Talabani to takeover the city and harshly confront any Arab or Turkomen resistance..

The source told the newspaper that Arab tribes in Hawija area moved their set the fighters ready to confront the Kurdish militia invasion of the city.

Al-Atiyah says on Al-jarida that there is no way that provincial election can be scheduled this year, most likely it will be postponed to the next year.

About the negotiation on Kirkuk, Turkomen negotiation delegation member reveals that there are differences among the Kurds themselves.

    Acute type of paranoia!! make sure you close all doors and windows at night so the Kurds can’t take over your home.
    What’s your problem? What are you?… a Turk?

    Kirkuk and Mosul repeatedly had these kinds of disorders before the time of the Baath. Noe the US has removed the Baath and instigated the old divisions that Saddam suppressed. There is nothing unprecedented in this report.

    All the Iraqis need is to learn how to balance the “rule of the majority” and the “rights of the minority” in the context of democracy!
    In the Iraqi version of democracy its OK to invite a “neighbouring country” to invede Iraq, just to force minorities let go of their freedom. Get the picture?!

  4. Right now we are reporting what is going on the ground, when I see you vision becoming true, I will report it also.
