@ivorprickett took this photo Iraqi Kurds enjoying the Great Zab river last month near the town of Barzan, in Kurdish-controlled northern Iraq. There’s little doubt about how #Kurds will vote in a referendum this month on independence from #Iraq. Even if the outcome is a foregone conclusion — nearly every Kurd holds dear the dream of statehood — the vote in Iraqi Kurdistan represents a historic moment in the Kurds’ long struggle for political independence. Numbering about 30 million people spread across 4 countries — Iraq, Syria, Turkey and Iran — the Kurds are often described as the world’s largest ethnic group without their own homeland. Iraqi Kurdistan, an oil-rich enclave in northern Iraq, may be their best hope yet. The referendum’s approval would start the process of turning the autonomous region into an independent state. But outside of #Kurdistan, every major player in the neighborhood opposes the vote, which could break up Iraq and further destabilize a volatile, war-torn region.
