US President Barack Obama’s airstrikes in northern Iraq are helpful – but will not stop the country’s inevitable breakup, Kani Xulam, head of a pro-Kurdish group, told our source on Tuesday.
“It was good that Obama came forward and protected the Kurds, but his desire to put Iraq together comes too late. Iraq is artificial – it’s neither a legitimate nor a linguistically-similar state. Unless Iraq has a very weak central government, it has no prospect of holding together,” Xulam, director of the American Kurdish Information Network, said.
