💬 "Emboldened by better electoral performance and the #PUK’s prolonged crisis, the #KDP has increasingly sought to dispense with the power-sharing formula in #Iraqi#Kurdistan agreed in 2005. This trajectory is likely to continue." via @amwajmediahttps://t.co/lqex4jzbTL
💬 "Within #Iraqi#Kurdistan, the political dominance of #KDP & #PUK remains unchallenged, but public opinion appears to become hard set against the duopoly. This trajectory will likely become intensified by continued economic difficulties" via @amwajmediahttps://t.co/47oWYwR2Su
💬 NEW: "Rising economic and political dissatisfaction in #Iraqi#Kurdistan is bolstering an apparent belief that devolved rule under the #KDP and the #PUK only benefits the ruling elite, rather than the broader population." via @amwajmediahttps://t.co/47oWYwRAI2
💬 "While conversations among analysts previously focused on the possibility of full Kurdish statehood & independence from #Iraq, many observers now see further Kurdish fragmentation as the more likely outcome" @shahokurdy for @amwajmedia#Kurdistan#KDP#PUKhttps://t.co/YJLpBurw8r

💬 RT @WillGrantBrook: "As a whole, the KRG has been the most successful example of Kurdish governance for a century. However, the current intra-Kurdish dispute poses a threat to the future of the political project." Great @shahokurdy article for @amwajmedia on the state of the KRG https://t.co/0K2qkySLXM
💬 "The #KDP and #PUK control the security forces in #Iraqi Kurdistan and have proved willing to use them to put down protests in the past. Yet, alleged governance failures are undermining the ruling establishment’s grip on power." https://t.co/2QlDYiRVDX via @amwajmedia
💬 "The #Iraqi presidency & regional elections are far from the only issues the #KDP & #PUK disagree over. The two are also at loggerheads over how to share income derived from customs, taxes & other revenues." @bekir_aydgn for @amwajmediahttps://t.co/F4ThBSvivq
💬 "The #KDP & #PUK are unable to agree on a joint candidate for the #Iraqi presidency & are on opposite sides. Until last month, the KDP had allied with the Sadrists & Sunni blocs. This is while the PUK is working with the SCF" @bekir_aydgn for @amwajmediahttps://t.co/F4ThBSMTmY
💬 RT @amwajmedia: "Shiite and Sunni Arab parties in #Baghdad have recently urged the #KDP and the #PUK to put aside their differences and agree on a joint presidential candidate, but neither party seems interested in abandoning their hopefuls." https://t.co/GcBg0EcbMY via @amwajmedia
