SULAIMANI \u2014 Head of the Article 140 office in Wasit and Diyala governorates Adnan Masnur on Tuesday (April 6) told the Kurdistan Democratic Party\u2019s (KDP) official media outlet that the federal government has allocated 25 billion Iraqi dinars ($17.2 million) in compensation for people historically displaced by the Arabization campaign as a part of the new 2021 Federal Budget Law.

\n

Article 140 of the Iraqi Constitution of 2005 outlines how to settle the issue of the so-called disputed areas, a belt of territory stretching across several governorates from Nineveh through Saladin and Kirkuk into Diyala and northern Wasit that is claimed by both the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) and the federal government, but has never been fully implemented.

\n

The article is based on Article 58 of the Transitional Administrative Law, which provides for \u201cjust compensation\u201d of people who were displaced by the Ba\u2019athist regimes Arabization campaign in the 1970s and 1980s, which replaced Kurds, Turkmens, and members of other ethnic groups living in the disputed areas with Arabs.
