Le Kurdistan d’Irak aujourd’hui
Hamit Bozarslan
While bearing in mind the evolution of Iraq as an entity
experiencing rapid ethnicization of the inter-sectarian relations, this article
presents the new contours of the Kurdish issue in this country. Kurdistan is
less affected by violence than the rest of Iraq. A political power is also being
constructed there that enjoys most of the prerogatives of a state and is thus
becoming a reference for the whole Kurdish space in the Middle East. As the
Kurds become a federative component of the country, the interpretation of
the “national past” grows more complex, or even painful. Although the past
combats against Baghdad constitute part of the nationalist legacy, the trauma
of the inter-Kurdish civil war ( 1994-1996) is constantly used to remind the
Kurds that a “fratricidal war” is above all a “war of self-destruction.”
