25th January 2005

Dohuk, Iraq

Here in Dohu it has been a little quite in the lead upto the elections.
However in the last 2 or days the flags have come out and the music begins.
Dohuk is a pro KDP stronghold. There was music and dancing in front of
the main KDP headquaters. Afterwards the cars drove off crowded with
excited youths waving the yellow of the party or the red, green and white
with yellow sun of the Kurdish flag.

interesting to see a different perspective from the TV reports.

So far in Kurdistan it has been relatively quite and safe.
Some people are expecting trouble but others think it will be okay.
The Peshmerga have kept the region under control up until now.
