Kurds and Arabs rattle weapons

Mosul - called the "trigger line". A total of about 500 km long disputed territory in northern Iraq where Arab and Kurdish soldiers clash with each other, potentially a new focus of hard-old conflict. As the world focused on the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq and the war in Afghanistan, no one notes that the Arabs and Kurds in Iraq any closer to war on the occasion of control over the oil rich country, territory that stretches from Syria to Iran border in the east, warn experts .

The risk of armed conflict is the acute problem, explain poznavaoci political opportunity, because the disputed zone in fact a mosaic of well-armed community that support the regular forces. Kurdish and Arab troops closely follow the movement of these communities in the fear that the other party can impose new rules on the ground. In order to at least possibly prevent new armed conflict between the powerful military forces of two parties, the Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al Malik visited Kurdistan at the end of last week where he held crisis talks with Kurdish leaders - Iraqi President Džalalom Talabanijem Kurd who is the president of the government and the autonomous Kurdistan region Masuda Brzanijem .

President Barak Obama upset the indications that Iraq could be divided into parts in the time when the forces are dragging. Washington also fears that could be involved in the new Iraqi war between Arabs and Kurdî in the north of the country. American withdrawal zaplašilo the Kurds, the only Iraqi community that has supported the U.S. invasion. A recent report of International Crisis Group concludes that "without Adhesives who provide American troops Kurdî war between the Arabs and would be inevitable."

Arab leaders, šiiti and Sunita, say they have made many Kurds vote since 2003. How they Husiena dezintegrisao Saddam regime, Kurdish forces have been penetrated in Mosul and Kirkuk, otimajući or territory where it was before the majority of Kurdish ethnic cleansing Saddam Hussein, were killed when the 180th 000 Kurdî 3500 kurdskih and destroyed villages.

Iraqi Kurds nervously watching soldiers and reokupaciju position formerly held by the Hussein army.

Antikurdsko feeling is expressed in many parts of Iraq, due to the fear of further revanšizma Iraqi Arabs in Kurdistan. Ethnic and sectarian hatred in the most contentious territories where different communities live next to one another. Iraqi province of Nineveh called Lebanon because of its diversity and the complex mixture of Kurds, Jazidisa, who speak Kurdish, Arab sunitski, šiita and sunitskih Turkmen and Christians asirijskih. On the question of whether you believe in the outbreak of Arab-kurdskog civil war, residents of Moza said that before the war began six years.

In the disputed areas, people say that they will persevere in the struggle for razrušena villages and barren parts polupustinje. But this piece of land is better than it appears. The reason why the question of the separation boundaries of the Arab Kurdî so sensitive are huge gas and oil fields. War between the Arabs and Kurdî in Iraq would be fatal for an independent country. Such a conflict would not have a winner, and each party tragala for the foreign allies, military analysts believe. Neither his brutalnošću, Saddam Hussein and his predecessors have failed to poraze Kurdî over 40 years. Division on the occasion of Kirkuka, a disputed territory and control over oil and gas reserves are too deep problems to resolve quickly.
