ANTI-WAR protests continued across Iraqi Kurdistan today as all opposition forces urged the main ruling party to stop its provocations and avoid a deadly intra-Kurdish conflict.
A long march to Gare, in Duhok province close to the Turkish border, was announced by Kurdish youth groups.
Organised under the slogan “Yes to national unity, no to war,” the march will leave the town of Teqteq at noon on Friday and make its way to the mountainous region where tensions are rising.
