Kurdish Rift Risks Unity
Bafel Talabani, president of the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan, announced that his party was withdrawing from the Kurdistan Regional Government after boycotting a parliamentary session held in Erbil, where a parliamentary leadership was elected with 52 of the 100 lawmakers in attendance. The party deemed the session illegal, while Talabani warned that it could form a parallel government and institutions in Sulaymaniyah if the Kurdistan Democratic Party went ahead with forming a regional government. Observers are considering the possibility of creating a new region centered on Sulaymaniyah, but Iraq’s constitution does not explicitly allow part of an existing region to secede, making such a move legally complicated.
