Kurdistan parliament resumes sessions after paralysis lasting more than two years

Kurdistan Region, Iraq ·

Shortly before the sitting, the parliament's session bell was rung to resume work on the opening session of the new legislative term. The stoppage had produced a legal vacuum alongside the parliamentary paralysis.

The Kurdistan Region is a semi-autonomous area in northern Iraq with its own parliament and government based in Erbil. Disputes between Erbil and Baghdad have affected the region's institutions in recent years.
