PKK disarmament may bring peace to Iraqi Kurdistan

The Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) has agreed to disarm, sparking hopes for peace and a new era in Iraq's Kurdistan region, potentially ending decades of conflict with Turkey. This decision follows years of Turkish military presence and operations in the region, impacting the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG). The KRG, with its own government and army, hopes the move will lead to the withdrawal of Turkish forces and increased stability. Despite optimism, challenges remain, including tensions with Syria, internal political divisions within the KRG, and unresolved disputes with Baghdad, casting a shadow on the region's future.
