SULAIMANI, Kurdistan Region — On the 28th anniversary of a Kurdish uprising that began in Raniya against the Baath regime, the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) and leaders congratulated the people of Kurdistan.

KDP President Masoud Barzani, described the occasion as a "clear message" to the world that Kurds will not accept "oppression.”
 

Ceremonies are taking place in Raniya to remember the date. In honor of those who gave their lives to the Kurdish struggle wreaths were laid at the Martyrs Monument.

The uprising began on March 5, 1991 in the city of Ranyia. It spread to Sulaimani on March 7, Erbil on the 11th, Duhok on the 14th, and culminated in Kirkuk on the 21st, coinciding with the Newroz festival, when Kurds celebrate the new year.


During the two-week uprising waged by civilians and Peshmerga, Saddam Hussein's regime forces were ousted from the Kurdish cities.

On the occasion, Masoud Barzani explained added that if Kurds are united, then "victory" is always achieved over "invaders".

March is a significant month for the Kurdish struggle.

"March is the month of success and the plights of the Kurdistan nation. The majority of victories and historical turning points occurred during this month. March is the month of sacrifices and the renewal of hope to the people of Kurdistan," Barzani said.

Kurds, in what was the time northern Iraq, had been granted semi-autonomy in the March 11th Agreement of 1970. It was reached between the Iraqi government and the Kurdish leadership under Mullah Mustafa Barzani, the father of Masoud, after a decade of revolt against the regime in Baghdad.

The Aylul (September) Revolution broke out after negotiations between Kurds and Baghdad did not bear fruit in 1961 and the Iraqi government began a military campaign to crush Kurdish dissent.

After a decade of armed struggle, the Iraqi government agreed to grant Kurds some autonomy, but it did not last long.

"The resilience of the people and revolution forced the Iraqi regime for the first time on March 11, 1970 to admit some of the rights of our nation. The March 11th Declaration was a clear document of the success of our nation's revolution against efforts to eliminate our nation and the denial [of our rights] by the invaders. On March 11 and from the Aylul revolution, the enemy was forced to give up the reasoning of the use of force and to choose dialogue," Barzani's statement read. 

Then a year after the 1991 uprising and a decade of genocidal acts, the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) and the Kurdistan Region Parliament were established. 

"Today marks the 28th anniversary of the great uprising of 1991. In light of this prestigious event, we are sending the warmest congratulations to the honorable families of the martyrs, the brave Peshmerga and the people of Kurdistan including all the religious and ethnic groups inside and outside of Kurdistan," the KRG stated. 

The KRG added the establishment of the government was an outcome of the uprising. http://www.rudaw.net/mobile/english/kurdistan/050320192

Deputy: We will resort to legal ways to obtain the post of governor of Kirkuk

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Turkoman's former deputy and leader Fawzi Akram Terzi said on Wednesday March 6, 2019 that the Turkomans would not stand idly by in the face of cheap deals over the post of governor of Kirkuk, pointing out that the Turkmen would resort to legal means to get the post of governor. .

"Kirkuk is not the property of anyone until it plunders its wealth and it is not exclusive to any particular party. From 2003 to October 16, 2017, the Kurdish parties proved their military, economic, political and economic failures in the administration of Kirkuk," he said in a statement.

"Kirkuk has been punished by 15 Arab governors and four Kurds, who have failed since 2003 to this day in the administration of the province, which requires a change and good faith in the nomination of Turkmen governor of Kirkuk, because the Turkmen represent the third national in Iraq."

"Kirkuk has witnessed the process of Arabization before 2003, and after this date there have been attempts to takreeed. Today is the time for the government to deal with the Turkmans and grant them their right, where they will resort to the judiciary and the law to obtain their rights, and will not sit idly by in front of cheap deals behind closed doors." That "the government is required to resolve the post of governor of Kirkuk, and intervene on this subject, especially that there is a national partnership in the management of the country, and therefore the position of the governor must be Turkmen."

Kurdistan ends unpopular austerity measure, will pay public salaries 'in full'

Kurdistan Iraq Baghdad Erbil Baghdad Relations Erbil KRG

 

 

ERBIL (Kurdistan 24) – The Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) on Friday terminated an unpopular policy which reduced the salaries of public servants as part of austerity measures it employed in early 2016 to combat the region's financial difficulties.

The decision came during a meeting between members of the KRG's Council of Ministers and was announced later during a press conference by Prime Minister Nechirvan Barzani.

"Salaries will be distributed in full from this month onward without reductions," Barzani said during the briefing. The "Salary Reduction Resolution" was first enacted in early February 2016 amid severe financial shortcomings.

As a result, public servants received pay cuts that amounted from around 30 to 70 percent of their original salaries, depending on their original salary level.

With the region's economy improving, the KRG amended the ruling in March 2018, ending salary cuts entirely to low-wage-earners and reducing cuts to higher income persons. There are also two months worth of payment backlogs as of 2019, meaning that salaries which state employees are scheduled to receive for February would be remittances for December.

The policy contributed to lower household incomes regionwide and lead to multiple demonstrations across all three provinces of Erbil, Sulaimani, and Duhok, with protesters calling for an end to the measures.

Now, as the PM has previously stated, with the economy heading for recovery and factors that contributed to its decline seemingly dwindling, the government is finally able to pay its employees what it owes them.

During the press conference, Barzani expressed the administration's gratitude toward all public workers, including teachers, doctors, police, and Peshmerga, for their resilience during the hard times the region went through. He added that the main reasons for cutting salaries were federal budget cuts by Baghdad in 2014, the drop of oil prices internationally, the war against the Islamic State, and the sudden influx of over a million refugees and internally displaced persons (IDPs).

"We hope that we can reach a positive conclusion with Baghdad in our talks, and the people of the Kurdistan Region don't pay the toll for any political disputes with Baghdad," stated Barzani.

Relations between the central government in Baghdad and the KRG reached a near-total breakdown in late 2017 after the region's vote for independence from Iraq. Following this, both sides worked to hash out differences, a process which accelerated after a new Iraqi prime minister took his post in early October.

"I thank Prime Minister Dr. Adil Abdul-Mahdi for his excellency's understanding on this matter and efforts to resolve the issue," the KRG PM said. He also thanked Finance Minister Fuad Hussein and Kurdish lawmakers in Baghdad for their concerted efforts to address the region's concerns in the Iraqi capital.

The governor of the city of Arbil, the capital of the Kurdistan Region on Saturday, warned traders, dealers and sellers of raising the prices of goods and utilities in the market after the abolition of saving salaries. The reason why they want the prices on goods and everything else to stay the same is because they dont want inflation rate to be out of control. And the second reason why i think this piece of info is a good thing and the rest of the news pertaining to employees be paid in full is because non other than anything I can think of.....reinstatement of the iqd.
