| Kirkuk: In the plains of northern Iraq, familiar shadows roam and kill |
| 2019-02-21 |
| [Rudaw] As dusky evening shadows gradually melted into the darkness that embraced the northern plains around the agricultural hamlet of Taq Taq in November, a group of men clad in Iraqi federal police uniforms emerged from their hiding places and headed towards a nearby house. There was nothing suspicious about the men except the Iraqi police hardly venture out at night and are often confined to their barracks. The farmers in the hamlet were happy that once again they could plough and smell the soil, after three years of brutal war between the Peshmerga and ISIS turbans, which left much of the area around oil-rich Kirkuk in ruins. |
