This report from the International Crisis Group (ICG) argues that efforts to stabilise Iraq are in danger of neglecting a growing conflict in Kirkuk. This conflict involves a struggle over oil riches, ethnic competition over identity between Kurdish, Turkoman, Arab and Assyrian-Chaldean communities, and clash between two nations, Arab and Kurd. The ICG argues that a special UN envoy should mediate between leaders of Kirkuk's communities as well as representatives of the federal government and the Kurdish federal region.
