Is there any current issues in Iraq?

Answer 1

yes there is current issues in Iraq

one of the main issues in Iraq is oil law or hydrocarbon law. If the law passes, the profit sharing would be open to the foreign companies. Yet Iraqi oil industry has highly nationalized in 1970s. Another issue is Status of Kirkuk. there are 3 main groups that could be counted within Iraq which are Sunni, Shiite and Kurdish. As Kirkuk is rich in oil, its sharing among those groups remains as a question. Besides as Kirkuk - Ceyhan oil pipeline passes through there, it has a value as a transition region. Status of Kirkuk is important for both territorial integrity of Iraq and independence movements of the Northern Iraqi Kurds. Other problems are; KRG (Kurdish regional government), US troops withdrawal- status of forces agreement cited that complete withdrawal will be taken place in 2011- and sectarian violence mainly among Sunni and Shiite factions.
