Kirkuk between Kurds and successive Iraqi governments (Awad Mohammed Ameen)
Kirkuk between Kurds and successive Iraqi governments
Awad Mohammed Ameen (Member of Kirkuk Provincial Council)
23 July 2009
When looking at the problem of Kirkuk, from modern political and historical perspectives, there should be a return to 1920 when the Iraqi state was founded after the First World War. The British appointed Prince Faisal bin Al-Sharif Hussein (member of the Hashemite dynasty in the Hijaz) king of the new state to honor and reward their efforts in fighting against the Ottoman Empire during the years (1916-1919). Until then, the political boundaries of the Iraqi state was nor formed; Iraq was composed of the two Wilayats (region) of Baghdad and Basrah.

About the FCT logo
The logo for the Forum for Cities in Transition was based on the semi-circular arrangement of tables for the plenary sessions at the initial conference that took place April 14-16, 2008, at the University of Massachusetts, Boston. There is further inspiration from King Arthur's famed Round Table, with no head and everyone who sits there having equal status. In this design, the circle is presently half-complete, but with leaders of each city at their place, there will be collaborative work among Forum participants to realise a full circle.
