Is the KRG Failing the People? -Rudaw

A political crisis threatens to derail the dream of self-determination in South Kurdistan. As if a war with Islamic State jihadis, a refugee burden beyond comprehension and a budget freeze from Baghdad were not bad enough, political infighting and public protests are now added to the toxic mix.

The political infighting and economic woes in the region both seem like the result of poor decisions and bad policies.
