Erbil calls for Baghdad aid compensation

The cessation of the financial aid previously provided by the international coalition to the Peshmerga forces in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq comes after the expiration of the agreement between the two sides in September 2026. The agreement included two final installments for August and September of the same year. The Ministry of the Peshmerga confirmed that financial assistance has ended, and the region is demanding compensation from the Iraqi government by adjusting the salaries of its forces. These salaries had relied on financial support in recent years to bolster their defensive capabilities, especially in confronting the risks of ISIS resurgence. The discontinuation of this aid is considered a step that may impact salaries and equipment, amid growing security concerns following the withdrawal of international forces from Iraq. The Peshmerga forces played a vital role in countering ISIS since 2014 and were established to strengthen the defenses of the Kurdistan Region.
