The Kurds are advancing toward the creation of their own state

The Kurds accelerate the process of their independence by taking control of two oil facilities in the area of Kirkuk; the fact, which is favored by the dissolution of the Iraqi army in the area, has sparked deep criticism from the Baghdad government, which has accused the representatives of, for now, the autonomous region of Kurdistan violation of the Constitution of the country. The Kurdish troops would be expelled from the ski Arab workers, to take complete control of extraction of crude oil. The decision of the Kurds, however, is understandable, as it aims to subtract any possibility of control, not so much to the state of Iraq, as the possible conquest by the radical Sunni Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant. The Kurds already manage on their own almost all of the proceeds from the sale of crude oil and want to avoid at all costs that the valuable oil fields from falling into the hands of the new caliphate. On the other hand the national army seems unable to implement an effective defense of the oil facilities, but it is also true that for the nascent Kurdish nation, an opportunity that presents itself is not impossible to exploit. It appears, in fact, highly unlikely that the troops of the Caliphate would want to take the Peshmerga, the Kurdish fighters, well prepared militarily and, above all, determined to fight for their true homeland. The appeals of the increasingly weak government of Iraq are so destined to fall on deaf ears, despite warnings to avoid the creation of enclaves that weaken the country, opposite the fundamentalist threat. The tension between Baghdad and the Kurds, while staying on the verbal, goes on for some time. President Al-Maliki has explicitly accused the Kurds to divide the country and become a haven for followers of the caliphate and the members of the party of Saddam Hussein. These allegations, however, are apparently devoid of any foundation and reveal, if any were needed, the total inconsistency of government policy that sits in the Iraqi capital, both in terms of military and political. The Kurds, in fact, could be an ally against the advancing troops of the caliphate, Baghdad if he had favored the growing autonomy also well evident, destined to become a state entity. Myopia executive of Al Maliki has instead given the ever-increasing gap between the two sides, with the difference that Iraq, in optical anti-fundamentalist, he needs the Kurds, while these are self militarily in the event, however unlikely of an attack of the militias of the caliphate. From the standpoint of political accusations of Baghdad have produced a boycott of the meetings of the Kurdish Council of Ministers, sanctioning a deep laceration in the country, which leaves the Scythians alone in front of the advancing Sunni. At this point, if the future of Kurdistan seems to be to become a nation, for the remainder of the Iraq scenario is that of a clear division between Sunnis and Shiites, which seems incurable, at least with this government, even in the event that external aid, the U.S. and Iran, are able to eradicate the newborn caliphate. The prospect of a government of national unity is not considered complete without a renewal of the political class that knows how to incorporate all the internal parts of the country.
