Kurd authorities arrest Iraqis for flying Iraqi flag
Truth About Iraqis
July 31, 2007
Some unity. Some rejoicing over the game.
I guess kaka barzani showed us how interested he really is in Iraq's "unity".
Erbil, 31 July (AKI - Kurdish security forces in the northern autonomous Kurdistan region of Iraq have arrested 50 young people who were waving the Iraqi national flag to celebrate the country's victory in the Asian Cup football.
A police officer in the Dohuk province said those arrested were predominantly Christians or members of the Yezidi minotiry, a religious community which passes on its beliefs via oral tradition.
For the autonomous Kurdistan region, the flag is a particularly sensitive issue. Security forces in the three northern provinces of Dohuk, Erbil and Sulamaniya have been ordered by the government to arrest anyone displaying the Iraqi national flag - considered a symbol of Arab nationalism and a reminder of the repression of Kurds under the regime of Saddam Hussein
The regional president Massoud Barzani last year replaced the national flag with a regional flag.
I have to wonder now how implicit then Barzani is in attacking other revelers. Could it be possible a lot of the attacks in Baghdad are the work of peshmerga and foreign agents in collusion?
After all, weaken the base and the peripheries gain more self-control, no?
Weaken Baghdad, destroy its power, destroy its people and you can do what you want in the outlying regions.
Nice.
I wonder how many of these 50 will be alive after this. After all, everyone knows of the ethnic cleansing the peshmerga have been enforcing in the north.
