Kirkuk’s Struggle
According to a new security report out today, this September has been one of the bloodiest, most brutal months in Iraq since the American invasion. According to the Special Operations-Consulting Security Management Group, not a single province in Iraq escaped attacks in the 30-day period, including Iraq’s Kurdish region in the north.
The city of Kirkuk, capital of the region, is struggling to rebuild itself after more than three decades of ethnic cleansing under the rule of Saddam Hussein.
George Packer, reporter for The New Yorker, discusses how Kirkuk is a sign of what the future might hold for Iraq itself.
