The Kurds in Iraq have faced significant challenges and conflicts, particularly during the regime of Saddam Hussein, who implemented brutal campaigns against them, including chemical attacks and forced displacement in the late 1980s. Following the Gulf War in 1991, the Kurds established a semi-autonomous region in northern Iraq, gaining significant political and cultural rights. However, tensions with the Iraqi central government have persisted, especially regarding issues of oil revenue and territorial disputes, particularly in areas like Kirkuk. In recent years, the Kurds have played a crucial role in the fight against ISIS, but their aspirations for independence have faced setbacks, especially after a 2017 independence referendum was met with military and political repercussions from Baghdad.
