this is if in capital of the semi autonomy as kurdish region of northern iraq. the kurdistan regional government the k r g held an independence referendum in twenty seventeen in the face of opposition from its allies neighbors and the iraqi government. an overwhelming majority of iraqi

kurds voted for the region to separate from the rest of iraq. but their celebrations were short lived. vickie argy did not declare independence but the iraqi central government penalized the kurdish region economically banned international flights closed border crossings and punished referendum supporters in disputed areas. today the iraqi kurds are no nearer independence than they were in fact ember twenty seventeen. the kurdistan regional government was established in the early one nine hundred ninety s. after years of conflict between the kurds and the iraqi government iraqi forces left the kurdish region in october one nine hundred ninety one and the semi autonomous k r g was set up a year later. in this film al-jazeera arabic

correspondent salman and miss helen goes to a bill to ask what happened with the referendum in twenty seventeen why did the k r g go ahead with the votes what was the point if they weren't going to declare independence. why did the k r g s allies oppose the vote and why did the others support it. why are critics political parties so fragmented. and what now for the whole question of kurdish independence. hell can that is the fear i lead is you're awfully a little september was about i shot a couple in the star. and now to depart to talk. i hope for the tide in what anybody could assign the low rate at least if that were thirty g.b. had it's just a. couple of states i hadn't gotten i could what the one and why do this if that

can. fit. when i can come in by a theater. ok mr when i committed this. let me i can your state equal if you have them is this what i came in by you you and your fiddle do. your homework. this. could be lookin who did what it is what it. looked on with us human genome language not all. of you to feel how they feel for the deli counter tops of philadelphia. but these squabbles about timing are relatively minor details in the context of the long and tempestuous history in the relationship between the baghdad government and the kurds. originally from mountain regions in the northern middle east the kurds are the fourth largest ethnic group in the

region today between twenty five and thirty five million kurds live in an area that spans the borders of turkey iraq syria iran and armenia. after the first world war and the defeat of the ottoman empire the kurds anticipated establishing their own permanent state but the treaty of low than in one nine hundred twenty three gave control of asia minor to the new state of turkey . kurdish hopes of autonomy were dashed for several decades. iraqi kurdish hopes were revived when the iraqi monarchy was overthrown in the fourteenth of july revolution in one nine hundred fifty eight. article three of the new constitution said that quotes arabs and kurds are considered partners in this country where the constitution will stay to their national rights under the arab unity. the whole loop. for.

some of. the. shop was closed. well the. marshall plan was just fear of the mud the third when the more surreal one from seeing the mud the tunnels are the shot i. thought they were thing where you get a thought of terry and having to quickly but a little while to stick around and they didn't come on the can cause some orderly commander who knows a living as the for how long what joe who visited your heart but. you have to tell me i've been and called to mother for you know nick who are. sort of feel me dies

a little and you heard you could be over joey when they didn't done that. stan what. mesereau designed his father most of all was a kurdish nationalist leader who led the iraqi kurds in a number of conflicts including the first iraqi kurdish war from one nine hundred sixty one to one nine hundred seventy he then agreed with prime minister hope the stadium cost him the kurds should have the right to autonomy. but the negotiations broke down and in one nine hundred seventy four hostilities resumed in the second iraqi kurdish war. the relationship between the two sides remained fractious not keast because most of the fall but assad he also allied himself with neighboring iran. in one nine hundred seventy five the algerian president who made c.n.n. sponsored an agreement between baghdad and to her on he brought together the shah

of iran with the then iraqi vice president saddam hussein. the agreements put an end to iranian support for the kurds in return for iraq's relinquishing sovereignty over half of the shots a lot of waterway. in one nine hundred seventy nine they reign in revolution erupted overthrowing the shaw it's all the end of the moment the unsponsored agreement. a year later the eight year war began between iraq and iran mr owed better than he screwed this time democratic party supported iran and saddam hussein retaliated by abducting thousands of kurdish men and boys in edible province and then going the lad out buying off ain't going to look at so a lot. of that is dead.

what the fear of the whole for the theme for not one of them looking rather than your own kind of. on top of our royal baby a lot what does this leave him with do not play than ourselves. just add up the lump that there were of there no as for the let me add all of. them to their work of saki will of orders. of done. in the final days of the iran iraq war in ninety eight in the kurdish city of halabja just offer than attack using chemical weapons killing between two and a half and five thousand people and injuring thousands more. the attack has been internationally recognized as part of that and fall genocide against the kurdish

people by president saddam hussein's regime the iraqi high criminal courts ruled the halabja massacre an act of genocide in march twenty ten. in one nine hundred ninety iraq invaded kuwait leading to the first gulf war but saddam hussein was defeated by a coalition led by the united states in one nine hundred ninety one. some of iraq's southern and northern provinces rose up against the interim iraqi government and the coalition imposed no fly zones in some areas including the kurdish regions. the iraqi kurds benefited from the defeat of saddam hussein and gained autonomy in northern iraq in one thousand nine hundred one under the united nations and in particular operation southern watch which in forces a no fly no drive zone in one nine hundred ninety two there were kurdish parliamentary and presidential elections and the kurdistan regional government the

k r g was formed. in two thousand and three and you u.s. led coalition invaded iraq and kurdish peshmerga fighters joined in the overthrow of saddam hussein. in a postwar referendum a new iraqi constitution was approved which recognized both the k r g and its parliament but kurdish baghdad tension remains. also want to see a lot of distortion. we're going to look. we're for you walked over on the no no the store wherever we certainly come and be no office clerk in the us any law does so to so get at the earth. knowing just to be a couple of fanatic and record offer for the store i list if they're from article what a nice alley i am affinis i'm not what i mean. it's really more the more the let me

use rather the stiff. as your ass the office of the iraqi foreign minister ibrahim al jaafari if damage could ask him the same question as to why the two thousand and seven referendum didn't take place. after initially a green to an interview the minister leaser pulled out. the other. you don't know why i didn't see other just today i'm not a harlot in facade a darling facade of the mother misha. you know them we dork on the other side. the two thousand and three us led invasion plunged iraq into a period of chaotic political instability which saw the emergence of a relatively new armed group eisel. the group gained global prominence in early

twenty fourteen when a trophy iraqi government forces out of key cities in western iraq and captured moved on in the north. of this it to the kurdish region of northern iraq in april twenty seventh teen five months before the independence referendum took place. the iraqi governments with the support of international forces including the u.s. u.k. france germany and turkey had launched a major military campaign in twenty sixteen to retake muso from eisel in what became known as the battle of mosul and. kurdish peshmerga forces joined the operation and fought alongside the iraqi army. the joint force defeated eisel in july twenty seventh teen and the borders of the kurdish region of northern iraq were extended. this is but najaf a town

a nineveh province in april twenty seventeen it was under the control of kurdish push medica forces. on the highway my eyes south of. john b. i was. into it in a gentle manner and out on the hind month i was bad. enough to judge a book as i have to buckle stopped up and sob no bob. after the referendum the kurds lost control over but najaf and other areas of nineveh province. the borders of the kurdish region. seem constantly to ebb and flow in line with kurdish fortunes and the complexity of modern iraqi politics. it was against this historical backdrop the de kurdistan regional government held its independence referendum in september twenty seventh seen. there are several

iraqi kurdish political parties and while they all support self-determination they often disagree on how best to achieve it. the two largest governing party is are the kurdish democratic party the k d p and the patriotic union of kurdistan the p u k there's also the movement for change known as koran and the kurdistan islamic union the k i u. one time it and this has visited the k r g capital that have been a few months after the twenty seventeen referendum disagreement and resentment about the timing of the vote still festered among the different political leaders. and the jena six hundred tuneup from an auction judged the brain and so we're not in a tub of water sonny barger and a director. here will know you.

were not a journalist had been involved. in that. but . had it all. whites hammered and this had wasn't it a bit after the referendum he met the head of the kurdish democratic party and the then president of the k r g. it was mr wood better than me who had ultimately decided the referendum would go ahead and when. hell can or. at least if there are three september and finn. that are going at the feet of solar u.v. to souls left them in your own uncertainty it was. just slope. on only what the

story perhaps but we really should have caused. and amistad and yours are very stiff stuff i wish i would call you know them oh well some men are a mop got all feet consortium are you. it's impossible to begin to understand iraqi kurdish politics without first examining the differences between their main rival parties. the kurdistan democratic party the k d p is led by mr wood but sanny with the city of edible as its power base. the bersani family has been a dominant force in the kurdish cause for two generations and continues to occupy a prominent place in the minds of its people. many continue to regard mr wood's father most of far as the founder of the kurdish revolution and

posters of him are everywhere across the region his son mesereau would stood down as the k r g president after the referendum but is still leader of the k d p. d p's main rival is the patriotic union of kurdistan the p u k founded by the legion al taleban. their bases in sanaa many to the southeast of. the sublists see. how that calls. for multiple quid to the salami to his feet because with the record could start to talk a little could start up into social suitedness us it was. sitting so close on the water to. the edge it and yes it was a loss of. kind of an absolutely true. man damn how the woman damn had

to fill it. because of all the kurdish infighting civil war between the different factions erupted in one thousand nine hundred four and lasted for years inevitably wider middle east politics further inflame the conflict . could be a kind of how the neck and. brain are about the same with many of the same cut and . then how can a more. the. more even a matter the left of it of obama. getting the oil in the hole and. i don't. feel that they're going to miss circle but i didn't feel fifi months from arianna. and sort of looked at the whole luckly me. kind of at a little. bit of an aside but could be an old had

a good idea but here that has a hard into it has been all over. the left. will not be a no helical could year low you can add new girl you would rather. not you can necessarily. could not even crossed the. border when united first if you are a village of clear that a lot of kids and. all the critics parties were united in support of the idea of an independence referendum and mesereau designed he had his way by staging it in september twenty second teen. but the plot thickens. other countries both in the region and in the west are now thought to have played the parts in both encouraging and discouraging the votes activity tomar no honest.

these are all of the stuff. that will be a swat team feast of top of us the thought of you will sort of love who you know who are. like you. cannot say what i would. start of a list if there is a collision it is. well a subject matter c.s.e. lower level so i want to get more say the end. alone which will but the. list in of them are going to be well for us with a no on account. you have that. there for. a moment i don't associate there with. a say yes or no but doesn't he was

a hermit he had mocha had to buy condoms to charlene pushchair war levy another woman and such are in need of a beanie. and those are no more nor them socially was about what is it mr grows on . you should know how we are who did enough to open with a demand for this after i had known and said raj was referring to the french intellectual media figure writer and longtime supporter of the kurds will now only levy. he was once described as quote perhaps the most prominent it's electoral in france today of all cheery and jewish distend levy was targeted for assassination in two thousand and eight by a belgian based armed islamist group. an avowed supporter of israel some consider his role in the referendum controversial see it but damn it and miss had asked him about this involvement and his presence at one of the polling stations on the day

of the votes as an observer and a look at the whole island a few markets look probably why they were had when markets looked at are that of a car but there was only one only one liter among a lot of international law. that your sofa and there are a lot of the sherrick as as a lot of others as ambassador galbraith us former minister about a lot we were of maybe i don't know maybe fifty one hundred there going to we re prisoned the international community watching looking at the regular radio of the go ahead of the vote and but had levy been a genuinely impartial observer had been since he was a known supporter of the referendum us of saddam. and it's different what one of the lot. of push you can do that you can do two things is two different things and

if so what exactly in the same time you can you can be a long time supporter or you could this cause you can't think in the depth of your hearts that you like your hike is alas a fiction and that killed this nation is a real one you think that i thought that. after that. it is very important day when devolved cops it is very important to check the vote is a good law that nobody is feeling the the boxer's as it happens in so many countries coming up turkey iran and the united states all put pressure on but is there any and the k r g not to go ahead with the referendum but in the geopolitics of the middle east israel emerged as an unexpected supporter i think the ease of id people itself is by any population. felt sympathy

for the sukkah of the schools while. number one because they recognize something of their old this teeny into this you know with girls. in afghanistan billions of dollars of international aid have been donated to girls' education but where has the money gone when east meets girls desperate to learn and asks why is the system failing them and how does iran if you're looking at this from the outside you would really wonder what was going on what is this gross is a religion that they have an in-depth exploration of global capitalism and our obsession with economic growth this is still the center of capitalism there is no limit i view myself as a capital artist we are trying to figure the world smaller and smaller we don't

want to be realistic in the world we would rather have a fantasy growing pains on al-jazeera. i'm sam. with a look at the headlines here now just here and now venezuela's self-proclaimed leader of one grade though says he would consider granting amnesty to president nicolas maduro if he helped restore democracy by duros backed by the powerful military he's accused the u.s. of trying to stage a coup after dawn the clegg the country's interim president washington has asked its citizens and some of its diplomats to leave venezuela. i want to minister now that you know. now in venezuela henceforth the president is to be elected in washington and whoever wants to be president can take the oath in the street they

want to dismember the republic they want to dismember the nation and the very conception of the democratic state they want to intervene in venezuela the way they've chosen to do that is to impose a puppet president who self proclaimed defacto unconstitutional. the afghan taliban as named one of its co-founders as the leader of its political office in qatar only but are there is expected to join the goshi ations with the us which look to be gaining momentum the un special rapporteur on extrajudicial killings is set to launch an independent investigation into the murder of saudi journalist jamal khashoggi agnes cullum are will begin the inquiry in turkey next week and expects to present a report in june activists in sudan say at least two more protesters have been killed during anti-government demonstrations have been rallies across several cities on thursday that continue the well into the night demonstrators are calling

for the resignation of president on one of the bashir the democratic republic of congo's new president felix just a k. the is called for national reconciliation during his inaugural speech last month's election was plagued by delays and allegations of vote rigging the u.s. senators failed in its latest attempt to end the partial government shutdown to rival bills to break the funding deadlock or put forward by republicans and democrats but neither got enough votes. protesters have fought with police in the green capitol head of friday's vote on a landmark agreement with macedonia politicians are debating on whether to ratify last year's u.n. broken deal that would allow greece's neighbor to change its name to north macedonia it's back to al-jazeera world now stay with us.

thank. you. the kurds of northern iraq would like but do not have their own permanent state.

but in twenty seventeen the leaders of their semi autonomy screw this town regional government they care r g n n a bill held a referendum on whether or not to separate from the rest of iraq the answer was the resulting yes. but the central government in baghdad rejected the result and took reprisals against the region. in going ahead with the vote the k r g had ignored the advice of its neighbors and traditional allies. the only country that openly supported the referendum was israel but it denied having any influence over it in any way our lives. and shallow. involve the suit. but actually. done if it be diachronic

don't it why didn't they just had to damage the ship in the washer when washoe had to revert to a missile in the a from another why and if you let me open how to her for me how the ledger work and what allowed for others so i don't doubt of what was said to civilian at the don't which is a militant you will call me discipline many of them just have to fuck up as. one of our element as i really feel bad at the area and more into their list if that. i had a sora. in can it been an out and see if my comp let me. alone israeli let me or can get out of. the deal bomber that i learned more careful look . i don't use as you say it's a had in one. it's now me and then more of what he'd more then let a year and that is quite understand that they had to sift i listened and it was

a listen even a minute and you know it does let me tell you he could assert. i thought the idea i live the way you do and mark up until could. thirty and. could all movement. going into the one minute these and you saw the whole be mr minister. islamiya the other beer to further see damage in this hand as the french electoral observer whether he thought israel had benefited from the referendum i think the use of id people itself is quite a leap operation. felt sympathy for the security schools while. number one because they recognize something of their old this unique

into this you know of the girls this this tin ear for people dreaming for independence seeing this in the bonanza refused to buy the although of nations that can say it but not believe it for burma to see tamina pointed out that the iraqi kurds might not agree with the comparison of their cause with israel's position he made the point that israel has occupied large areas of the palestinian territories and. i told you that there is some similarities between the two this to me is felt such a search by the israelis i don't tell you that there is identity of the deceased it is it is of the same force. the referendum arguably put the iraqi kurds in the most exposed position they've been in since autonomy was announced after the first gulf war in one nine hundred ninety one and. iraqi governments reprisals had

affected them economically and limited their freedom. give back to the world that this is that no more than a little. bit of a saddam was in a. seven missive that. it dropped you have distorted. potulny but. that the guy did what it was then a smile when you happen that much of the central iraqi government in baghdad few the referendum is unconstitutional claiming it threatens national security instability. but al-jazeera wanted to find out what discussions had taken place between the kurds and baghdad immediately before the referendum as well as between . critics parties themselves behind closed doors.

to matter how are you. not to norman of being a doctor i don't see the should resign him an edge in your government is to stop most of that. read on the half of the. list if. there are not the whatever it. was the further well know how it is different file and that there is. a lot on the middle but this desolate thirty involve well above the. all of them and. other must mean which had been. called the most we loaded and of course. the early. and learned the had our lives help. find. out. the key our g.'s western neighbor took

a much tougher line the turkish government has a long standing difficult relationship with the kurds on its own soil and threaten military and economic action against those in iraq. to me. kinda need. a push to. be a neck and neck and anything even i'm talkin stuff and talk now if. we have. one month we had a walk. through the talk now about. that limb mr dylan our time there are corona is our list of the number that we are. well enough to stop whether other. stuff. you know you're going on a not if the had to have an equal fear could be

after the referendum however the iraqi government in baghdad delivered its own response to the overwhelming vote. for the previous decade the iraqi kurds had been trying to gain control of the oil rich region around the city of kirkuk ninety five kilometer south of it. they had even raised the kurdish flag there. were two weeks after the referendum the iraqi army decides to be recaptured control of the city after the surprise withdrawal of kurdish peshmerga forces. that had to. go to the. gym are.
