The devastating conflict where both sides have reasons to keep fighting

A strong supply of weapons and a history of long wars make Sudan's conflict particularly troubling.

BBC News
Iranian #Kurdish militias have reportedly been consulting with the #US in recent days about whether, and ​how, to attack Iranian security forces. A coalition of groups based on the Iran-Iraq border in the semi-autonomous region of Iraqi #Kurdistan has been training to mount such an attack in hopes of weakening the regime. We speak with former ambassador Peter Galbraith, who previously acted as an advisor to the Kurdistan Regional Government in northern Iraq.

Kurdish dissident groups say they are on standby to join fight against Iran

Kurdish Iranian dissident groups based in northern Iraq are preparing for a potential cross-border military operation in Iran, and the U.S. has asked Iraqi Kurds to support them, Kurdish officials have told The Associated Press. Kurdish party leaders have also discussed the Iran crisis with President Donald Trump, according to Iraqi Kurdish officials. One official says Trump has asked them to open the border and back the groups militarily. Iraqi Kurdish leaders fear Iranian retaliation. Recent drone and missile strikes have already hit the region, damaging homes, and disrupting electricity. Iraq also reinforces the border and the Iraqi government has vowed to stop infiltrations.
