What is iraq's second largest ethnic group?

It depends on whether you consider "Arab" to be a united ethnic group or if it is divisible along ethno-religious lines. If Sunni Arabs and Shiite Arabs are distinct ethnic groups, then Sunni Arabs form Iraq's second largest ethnic group (after Shiite Arabs). If the Arabs are a united ethnic group, then the Kurds form the next largest ethnic group.


Why do the Kurds seek their own country?

Kurds seek their own country because they have a distinct ethnic identity, culture, language, and history. They have faced oppression, discrimination, and marginalization in the countries where they reside, particularly in Turkey, Iran, Iraq, and Syria.
