IRAQ: KURDS, OUT FROM SADDAM'S SHADOW, RUSH TO VOTE
2005
Overview
Driving out through the wheat fields in the southern part of the Kurdish autonomous area, we pass dozens of old Toyota pick-ups, their beds full of Kurds headed to the polls. We also pass buses full of voters, over-sized Kurdish flags on their outside paid for by the main Kurdish political parties. Like everyone else around him, he is primarily concerned with the success of a unified slate of major Kurdish political parties. The slate stands for Kurdish autonomy in the North, and Kurdish domination of the oil-rich city Kirkuk, which currently lies outside of the domain of the Kurdistan regional government. Kurds looked happy at the chance to vote in an election that could determine the fate of the Kurdish people. \"We are voting as Kurds to have seats in the national council in Baghdad as the Iraqi government,\" [Shirzad Mohammed Mahmoud] said. \"This is so important for us to have. Maybe my vote will give us one more seat on the council in Baghdad.\"
