 Petrol shortage in north   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
SULAYMANIYAH, 20 Sep 2004 (IRIN) - For the past week, drivers in Iraq's northeastern Sulaymaniyah governorate have been waiting for up to five hours to fill their cars and trucks with fuel as deteriorating security in surrounding areas has slowed the influx of petrol and diesel supplies, according to local officials.
Apart from small quantities produced at a local refinery at Bedji, Sulaymaniyah is almost entirely dependent for its supplies on oil - mostly Iraqi crude refined in Turkey - trucked in from the northwestern Iraqi city of Mosul by Turkish drivers.
In the future, it is hoped that the 29 MW generator would be fuelled entirely by oil taken from fields within the Kurdish area.

The proportion of eligible voters who went to the polls in the volatile Al-Anbar Governorate was not released, while there was low voter turnout (under 33 percent) in the Al-Qadisiyah Governorate in south-central Iraq.
Al-Qadisiyah Governor Idris Khalil Hamza denied that the low turnout was related to voter discontent with the government, saying no direct link should be drawn between the state of services and the constitution -- which he said is intended to benefit all Iraqis.
The Independent Electoral Commission said that voter turnout was "high" in the Al-Sulaymaniyah Governorate and "medium" in the Irbil and Dahuk governorates, while early speculation in the media suggested that the referendum will pass overwhelmingly in the Kurdistan region.

 Aid & Development: Iranian refugees moving to north   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
SULAYMANIYAH -- Swedish NGO Qandil is working in collaboration with the office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) to build accommodation for 250 Iranian Kurdish refugee families who recently went to the northern Sulaymaniyah governorate, saying they had left deteriorating conditions in Al-Tash camp in the western Iraqi province of Al-Anbar.
Families have been moving north for months now, but the trickle turned into a flood in April and May as violence in the Sunni triangle peaked with pitched battles between US forces and the Iraqi resistance in the city of Fallujah, near Al-Tash.
Scattered in tent villages and rented accommodation in and around Khaniqin, Kalar, Darbendikhan and Arbat, the Iranian Kurds refugees receive aid both from Qandil and from the local departments of Sulaymaniyah governorate's Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs.
