#1 There is more to this story. The Makhmur district is traditionally part of the Erbil province. It was the only part of Erbil that was not taken over by the Kurds. Al Maliki transferred it to Mosul Province to keep it away from the Kurds. Then Mosul fell to ISIS and the Kurds took over Kirkuk.

What we have here is a 3 way tug of war.
