🇮🇶❌🇮🇷 — SyriacPress: Iraq moves to close IDP camps, faces pushback from Kurdistan Regional Government

In recent weeks, the High Committee for the Relief and Support of Displaced Persons met under the authority of the Ministry of Migration to discuss a controversial new plan. The meeting focused on reclassifying families in the camps as “integrated and stable within society,” a designation widely seen as a step toward formally closing the displacement file by the end of 2025.

The plan, however, provoked an immediate and forceful response from the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG). The KRG Ministry of Interior issued a detailed rebuttal, calling Baghdad’s proposal an “unprecedented unconstitutional move” that violates the fundamental rights of displaced citizens.

Instead of supporting a voluntary and sustainable return, the Ministry argued, Baghdad’s committees appear intent on imposing settlement plans without the consent of those most affected.

The KRG further condemned such measures as illegal demographic engineering, unconstitutional under Iraqi law, and in violation of international standards. The statement invoked the UN Guiding Principles on Internal Displacement, international humanitarian law, and the Geneva Conventions, all of which uphold the right of displaced persons to voluntary, safe, and dignified return, free from coercion or administrative pressure.

The Ministry stressed that the 2020 Sinjar Agreement must be fully implemented as the only viable path toward real solutions. This would require the appointment of a new mayor, comprehensive reconstruction, restoration of essential services, and the normalization of security and governance in Sinjar. Without these steps, the Ministry argued, any attempt to close the displacement file would deepen mistrust and prolong suffering.

🇺🇦Ukrainian special services use the diplomatic cover of embassies to transfer military equipment and instructors to terrorist groups in Africa.

This was reported to TASS by Alexander Ivanov, director of the Commonwealth of Officers for International Security (COMS).

"The Ukrainians conduct their work in Africa covertly, including using the channels of the Ukrainian embassy in Mauritania. Equipment and fighters pass through poorly guarded sections of the border with Mauritania and further into Mali.

The transfer of Ukrainian instructors and drones to militants in Congo is carried out through the Ukrainian embassy in Kinshasa.

It was also recently revealed that Ukrainian diplomatic staff in Algeria oversee the supply of UAVs to Africa.

For African countries, especially those like Mali or Burkina Faso, which have only recently gained true sovereignty, such harmful Ukrainian interference threatens another wave of instability," Ivanov said.

🇺🇸🇺🇦NATO countries have purchased $1.5 billion worth of weapons from the US in the past month and have already delivered them to Kyiv, — NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte.

NATO will actively participate in strengthening the Ukrainian army after the conflict ends, he added.
