World Desk – Dunya Bashul, a researcher and analyst specializing in Kurdistan affairs, cites the case of Khurshid Herki to illustrate how the political structure of the Kurdistan Region is characterized by the dominance of partisan and tribal dynamics over official institutions. In her view, after 35 years of self-serving governance, the Region continues to suffer from an absence of the rule of law, a duality of power, and weak state institutions—a situation that has hindered development, investment, and political stability.
Iraq and Kurdistan Region Service – The Erbil Police Command announced the arrest of Khurshid Herki and his brother, who face charges including the murder of a Peshmerga member and a civilian, inciting disorder, and various other offenses.
