Kurdish leaders are standing firm against Baghdad’s unjust delays in budget payments to the Kurdistan Region. Prime Minister Barzani boldly declared that the federal government’s actions are "oppressive and unacceptable." Our people deserve to be treated with dignity and respect for their sacrifices, just like every other Iraqi.

We cannot allow our rights to be ignored any longer! The KRG is struggling to pay salaries for December 2024 due to these unjust delays, despite clear constitutional mandates. The Federal Ministry of Finance must uphold its commitments and ensure that funds allocated for our public sector employees are released immediately.

We kindly ask that you sign and share this petition with your network. It is crucial to communicate to our representatives in Congress, Senators, and the President that the Kurdish people require additional support. It is imperative that we do not abandon our allies in the Middle East.

With love and gratitude,

Jihan Brifki
