Clashes erupt between Iraqi army, PKK-affiliated force in Shingal
|
[Rudaw] Fresh festivities erupted between the Iraqi army and an gang affiliated to the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) in Shingal over control of the area, reported PKK media which linked the incident to The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the decaying remnant of the Ottoman Empire...
’s new military operation against the PKK in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq.
Footage, shared by the PKK-affiliated Denge Chira Shengale news outlet, purportedly shows a group of Iraqi soldiers surrounding a checkpoint in Sinune subdistrict controlled by the PKK-affiliated Ezidkhan Asayish.
Rojnews, another PKK-affiliated news outlet, claimed that the Iraqi army asked Ezidkhan Asayish to hand over the checkpoint but they refused, leading to armed festivities. Two civilians as well as a number of the members of both forces were maimed but their identities remain unclear.
The festivities took place late afternoon and lasted for a couple of hours. However,
ars longa, vita brevis...
the dispute has not been resolved, according to Rojnews.
Shingal fell under the control of the Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems....
(ISIS) in 2014, leading to the death, abduction or displacement of its mostly-Yazidi population. The town has been controlled by a number of forces after ISIS holy warriors were defeated. The forces are affiliated to the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG), Iraqi government, pro-Iran
 ...Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979...
Shiite paramilitary groups, or the PKK.
Clashes between the Iraqi army and PKK-affiliated forces in Shingal have taken place several times. The Iraqi government and the KRG signed an agreement in 2020 to "normalise" the situation which includes the withdrawal of all PKK-affiliated forces in the city. The agreement has been rejected by the PKK and its proxies.
The Iraqi army has yet to comment on the fresh festivities.
Turkey launched a new military offensive against the PKK positions in the Kurdistan Region late last night. The PKK media claimed that the Iraqi army is supporting the operation by attacking PKK-affiliated forces in Shingal.
