Kurdish students fear return to Iraqi
universities
The Kurdish students studying in Baghdad University
are threatening not to return to their studies.
A large number of Kurdish students studying in
universities in Baghdad and Baquba are threatening
not to return to their studies unless they are
transfered to universities in Kurdistan.
The reasons behind this revolt are cited as the

students, mainly from Baghdad, Baqouba, Khanaqin,
Kalar, but also other cities in Kurdistan, say they
do not wish to return to their universities to study
in the new school year. Ahmad Kareem is a resident
of Khanaqin and a student of Yermouk University in
Baqouba told Kurdistan Online.
Illegally imported goods returned to Iran
Kurdish officials in the border town of Haji Omaran,
have returned eggs and water smuggled into the
Kurdistan Region from Iran. The 165 cartons of eggs
and 10 tons of drinking water had been transported
over the Kurdistan-Iranian border by lorry drivers.
"The reason for sending the water back was that it
was four months past its best before end date," a
Kurdish official explained. The import of eggs and
chickens from Iran is banned.
