The End of Iraqi Kurdistan’s Experiment with a Unified Region?
The PUK, dominated by the Talabani family and controlling the southeastern half of the Kurdistan Region, has decided to withdraw from the KRG cabinet and pursue the establishment of a separate federal region centred on Sulaimani.
According to a well-placed source in Sulaimani, the PUK leadership made the decision today, marking a potentially historic turning point in the two-decade experiment to govern Iraqi Kurdistan as a unified region.
The decision follows more than two years of political deadlock since the October 2024 regional elections, the first held since 2018. The immediate trigger was yesterday's move by the KDP, dominated by the Barzani family, to unilaterally reconvene the Kurdistan Parliament, which had not met since its inaugural session on 2 December 2024.
The KDP secured the 51-MP quorum in the 100-seat chamber by attracting individual MPs from rival factions, despite those parties officially boycotting the session. It has now decided to press ahead with forming a new cabinet without the PUK, a move that would shut the PUK out of the regional executive it has shared with the KDP since 2006.
The prospect of a formal split has been building for years. At the heart of the crisis is the governing style of KRG Prime Minister Masrour Barzani of the KDP, who has increasingly sought to concentrate power in his own hands at the expense of the region's deeply entrenched power-sharing arrangements. Yet the Kurdistan Region is structurally divided into two zones, making such centralisation extremely difficult without the consent of the PUK.
The PUK has maintained de facto control over Sulaimani and surrounding areas since the Kurdish civil war of the 1990s, which resulted in two separate administrations. Even after their formal reunification in 2006, the region remained unified largely in name. In practice, the KDP and PUK retained separate security forces, intelligence agencies and administrative structures in their respective territories. The unified government rested on an arrangement between two competing centres of power whose institutions were never genuinely integrated.
Article 119 of Iraq's Constitution allows one or more governorates to initiate the formation of a federal region through a referendum, following a request supported by either one-third of the relevant governorate council members or 10% of registered voters. Under Iraq's 2008 Law on Executive Procedures for Forming Regions, the voter-initiated process begins with an initial petition supported by 2% of voters, followed by a registration process to reach the 10% threshold. Once the signatures are validated, Iraq's Independent High Electoral Commission refers the request to the federal Council of Ministers, which sets the date of the referendum.
For much of the past three decades, Iraqi Kurdistan has operated as two competing centres of power, a division institutionalised by the civil war and left largely intact by the 2006 reunification.
The latest confrontation now threatens to transform that longstanding de facto division into a formal constitutional and territorial split. If the PUK proceeds, it could mark the end of Iraqi Kurdistan's two-decade experiment with a unified regional government.

Putting nationalist whining aside i think what happened has been the reality for a long time and just got official and actually i think this will simply solve so many problems instead of making them worse now everything is clear no one needs to fake anything anymore

With all kdp mistakes but this is not one of them
Imagine if the PUK decided to break up the Kurdistan region. Imagine the betrayal. The historical betrayal. I can imagine the political chaos of KDP’s choice. But dividing the Kurdistan region, bashuri Kurdistan, will be the greatest loss of Kurds, not only for bashur, but for all Kurds.

It seems every party will create its own region and every tribe too must create its own region
Well the biggest mistake of kdp and mulla mustafa was that he did not kill the opposition in 1966 jalal talabani and ibrahim ahmed and ali askari and omar daba and others when they were fighting with the iraqi army against him even though he crushed them in the battle of hendrin 1966 but he did not kill or assassinate them
And another big mistake was by masoud after killing more than a thousand of them on hakkari mountain and killing ali askari and sheikh hussein baba and dr khalid saeed he did not attack the headquarters of the entire puk afterward to finish his job after they tried to attack him
And masouds second mistake was that he did not kill them in 1982 when he crushed them and they went afterward and allied with saddam 4 years and he did not kill all their supporters
And even after 1994 they brought the iranian revolutionary guards to hit kdp and the kdp allied with iraq for a week in 1996 and entered hawler and sulaymaniyah and even after the iraqi army left that same week kdp stayed for half a year in sulaymaniyah but he did not kill the all puk supporters and the dissidents this nonsense and division of kurdish regions is a result of the nonsense and mercy of kdp and the barzanis when they are in power
Fucking stupid thing
The PUK leadership is meeting in Sulaimani, with PUK leader Bafel Talabani and other senior and veteran figures in attendance, to respond to the KDP’s move yesterday to push ahead unilaterally with reactivating parliament and forming a cabinet.
Reports in PUK-aligned media suggest the party may withdraw from the cabinet and move to form a separate region, which they argue is constitutionally permitted in Iraq and within their means.
The meeting is still ongoing, but PUK media say its decisions will deliver a “political shock” to the KDP, which they accuse of trying to sideline the PUK.
KDP always used to crush them and even crushed the iranian kurdish parties in the 1980s when they were allied with saddam and kdp with iran but now kdp has become a purely political weak party trying by all means to argue instead of war this thing is ridiculous people of this region do not understand the meaning of logic, language and politics they just act tough with the weapons they got from regional countries that use them as mercenaries the kurdistan region is the only political region present it should not be left in the hands of mercenaries and all their essence is just being against the parti whether puk or others another name might come in the future but they are mercenaries too this should never be allowed these quej must be crushed sulaymaniyah should not be handed over to these qurjs

The good and most important thing is that all of these projects are carried out by a local workforce so many kurds benefit from it and kurdistan gets built too
No one can detach from their origins and claim another it will always be clear what their true origin is
Some people think they can that's why you see some kurds saying oh let kurdistan burn or let it always stay in this condition or there is no harm in being fully under iraq's rule these people are just gypsies and they will always stay gypsies

This barrel is just repeating what PUK believe that convening parliament was an unwise step while leaving kurdistan for two years without a parliament until it eventually falls into baghdad's hands is the wise step

There is really no such thing as PKK today and even iran is in a weak state and will not risk entering iraq to support PUK iran has built a barrier between itself and kurdistan region too so why doesn't KDP use the concept of force KDP won most of its battles against these people when it was in a position a thousand times worse

Simply trying to strike kurdistan infrastructure that affects the lives of the people of kurdistan region since all hospitals, factories and homes run on electricity
I wish there were a war to kill and behead every single one of those gawads instead of this concept of compromise and discussion with them
New: Multiple local media outlets report that PUK security forces have shut down KAR Group’s offices in Chamchamal, western Sulaimani province, where the company was working alongside another firm on a pipeline extension from the Khor Mor gas field to Erbil.
According to the reports, around 60 employees have been ordered to stop work and return home, while staff from Erbil and Duhok have reportedly been escorted to the border with the KDP-controlled zone and told to return home.
KAR Group, which has close ties to the KDP, has been working on the pipeline project in cooperation with a PUK-linked company. The reported shutdown comes amid escalating KDP-PUK tensions following today’s unilateral KDP move to reconvene the Kurdistan Parliament and could signal further retaliatory measures by the PUK.
The stakes are particularly high given that Khor Mor is the Kurdistan Region’s main source of natural gas, supplying fuel for an estimated 75% of its electricity generation. Any disruption to gas deliveries could therefore have far-reaching consequences for the region’s power supply.

Trying to start a civil war because of losing the elections they won't get anything and i hope KDP finishes what it didn't finish since the 1960s even though it has the capability to do so for a long time
As the KDP-PUK power struggle escalates following the KDP’s unilateral move to reactivate the Kurdistan Parliament, both parties have reportedly deployed large numbers of troops equipped with heavy weapons along the boundary separating their respective zones of control, particularly around the Degala checkpoint between Erbil and Sulaimani.
A source told Var Media that the deployed forces include military tanks. The source added that security personnel are conducting thorough inspections of people travelling between Erbil and Sulaimani at checkpoints on both sides of the boundary. According to the source, even women’s handbags are being searched at the Degala checkpoint.
It is crazy the amount of insults that happened to this person and even attacking his family just because he left puk and became an independent mp
They call themselves the city of literature what a good literature they have and let them try to utter this talk against him and his family towards mulla bakhtiar who also left puk because he would have raped them
#BREAKING: As efforts intensify to reconvene the Kurdistan Parliament, PUK lawmaker Hardi Salah has announced his resignation from the party, citing "broken promises, disloyalty and a lack of principles". He says he will continue his work as an independent MP in the interests of Kurdistan and its people. #Kurdistan
