[NRTtv] SULAIMANI — Peshmerga forces affiliated with the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) were redeployed to Erbil’s Makhmour district and Dibaga sub-district late of Thursday (January 28). Political observer Rashad Galali told NRT in an interview that the forces moved into the area include Peshmerga Forces 80 Command, the Roj Peshmerga, and the Gullan forces, which are affiliated with the KDP and the Kurdistan Freedom Party respectively. It was not immediately clear what motivated the redeployment, but the Khurmala oil fields are located in the area. According to NRT reporter Ahmed Mustafa, the field stopped its normal transport activities at approximately 9:00 p.m. on Thursday. The oil pumped at the field’s 100 wells is usually exported to Turkey. Makhmour and Dibaga are close to lines held by the Iraqi Security Forces and the Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF). The Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) also has a presence in the area at the Makhmour Camp.
