Click here Kurdistan Regional Government Representation in the United States Washington, DC Alarming build up of Iraqi military and Popular Mobilization Forces near Kirkuk The Kurdistan Region Security Council is alarmed by a significant Iraqi military and Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) build up in Bashir and Taz to the south of Kirkuk, including tanks, heavy artillery, Humvees and mortars. These forces are approximately three- kilometers from Peshmerga front line positions. Intelligence shows their intention to takeover nearby the oil fields, airport and military base. We call on the Iraqi Government to stop the PMF aggression in Kirkuk and north Mosul. This reckless, provocative move follows Iraq's air embargo suspending international flights and other measures amounting to collective punishment on the people of Kurdistan. Kurdistan continues caning for d_ialogue and peaceful means to. settle differences. The international community too must denounce the milrtary deployments and call on the Iraqi government to return to talks.

We call on the Iraqi government to return to dialogue and peaceful m'eans to settle differences instead of deploying forces and imposing its will.

  • Monitoring of Water Level Fluctuations of Darbandikhan Lake Using Remote Sensing Techniques
    1 Plant Archives Vol. 20, Supplement 2, 2020 pp. 901-906 e-ISSN:2581-6063 (online), ISSN:0972-5210 MONITORING OF WATER LEVEL FLUCTUATIONS OF DARBANDIKHAN LAKE USING REMOTE SENSING TECHNIQUES Dalshad R. Azeez* 1, Fuad M. Ahmad 2 and Dashne A.K. Karim 2 1College of Agriculture, Kirkuk University, Iraq 2College of Agricultural Engineering, Salahaddin University, Iraq *Corresponding author : [email protected] Abstract Darbandikhan Reservoir Dam is located on the Sirwan (Diyala) River, about 230 km northeast of Baghdad and 65 km southeast of Sulaimaniyah - Iraq. Its borders extend from latitude 35° 06' 58 ''- 35° 21' 07 ''N and longitude 45° 40' 59'' -45° 44' 42'' E. In order to monitor the fluctuation in the level of this lake, Landsat Satellite images were collected for 10 years included, 1984, 1990, 1995, 2000, 2005, 2010, 2015, 2017, 2018 and 2019 for the same time period. Next, the classification of satellite images and the measurement of areas were done using ArcGIS 10.2. In order to study the effect of droughts and wet conditions on water levels in the lake, the standardized precipitation index (SPI) method proposed by Mckee, 1993 was used. In the current study, the 12 months’ time scale SPI values (SPI-12) that was considered individually for the years 1984-2017 were estimated. Each period starts from January and ends in December. It was found that the water level in Darbandikhan Lake has experienced periodic changes during the period from 1984 to 2018. The results also showed that there were some gradual drought trends in the study area according to precipitation changes during the years studied, where severe drought dominated several parts of the study area, and the worst were in the years 1995, 2000, 2915 and 2017.

  • Iraq: Opposition to the Government in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq (KRI)
    Country Policy and Information Note Iraq: Opposition to the government in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq (KRI) Version 2.0 June 2021 Preface Purpose This note provides country of origin information (COI) and analysis of COI for use by Home Office decision makers handling particular types of protection and human rights claims (as set out in the Introduction section). It is not intended to be an exhaustive survey of a particular subject or theme. It is split into two main sections: (1) analysis and assessment of COI and other evidence; and (2) COI. These are explained in more detail below. Assessment This section analyses the evidence relevant to this note – i.e. the COI section; refugee/human rights laws and policies; and applicable caselaw – by describing this and its inter-relationships, and provides an assessment of, in general, whether one or more of the following applies: • A person is reasonably likely to face a real risk of persecution or serious harm • The general humanitarian situation is so severe as to breach Article 15(b) of European Council Directive 2004/83/EC (the Qualification Directive) / Article 3 of the European Convention on Human Rights as transposed in paragraph 339C and 339CA(iii) of the Immigration Rules • The security situation presents a real risk to a civilian’s life or person such that it would breach Article 15(c) of the Qualification Directive as transposed in paragraph 339C and 339CA(iv) of the Immigration Rules • A person is able to obtain protection from the state (or quasi state bodies) • A person is reasonably able to relocate within a country or territory • A claim is likely to justify granting asylum, humanitarian protection or other form of leave, and • If a claim is refused, it is likely or unlikely to be certifiable as ‘clearly unfounded’ under section 94 of the Nationality, Immigration and Asylum Act 2002.

Iraq Abstract—Earth and rockfill dams face a variety of loading stability of the dam (Alonso and Pinyol, 2009; Siacara, Beck conditions during lifetime. One of the most critical loading and Futai, 2020). conditions is the rapid drawdown of water level after steady state Rapid drawdown of water has two impacts; changing the conditions. Rapid drawdown may cause instability of upstream pore water pressure of the dam materials and reducing the slope of the dam. The present work examines the stability of a rockfill dam under different drawdown rates in terms of factor external hydrostatic pressure (Siacara, Beck and Futai, 2020). of safety for the upstream slope of the dam. For this purpose, a Reduction of water level may cause instability of the dam computer software named GeoStudio 2012 SEEP/W and SLOPE/W since the water inside the soil cannot escape from the soil has been used for the numerical analysis. The results showed that as the water drawdown from the reservoir (Siacara, Beck the drawdown rate has a significant effect on stability of rockfill and Futai, 2020; Pinyol, Alonso and Olivella, 2008). There dam in which increasing the drawdown rate from 1 m/day to 10 are some factors which affect the stability of upstream slope m/day decreases the stability of the dam by 33%.
