My father’s family had been settled in #Iraq for generations, but they fled to #England in 1941—the same year that #Baghdad’s #Jews were convulsed by a June #pogrom known as the #farhud—presaging a much larger exodus of Iraqi Jews over the next decade.

Finally there is an agreement between Baghdad and Erbil to start, as soon as tomorrow, the export to the global market up to 300K barrels/day via pipeline to #Turkiye's Ceyhan.
