ANBAR, April 18 (AKnews) - Anbar province is days away from declaring regional autonomy, revealed a member of the provincial council.

All administrative and legal preparations needed to proclaim autonomy has been completed and the announcement will be made in the coming days, said Muzher al-Mulla, an engineer and member of the council.

He added the the move came after the failure of the federal government to meet the demands of citizens submitted months ago, including the release of innocent detainees, providing basic services, opportunities and other legal and constitutional demands.

"Proclaiming Anbar an autonomous region took into consideration the rejection of terrorism and sedition, in addition to working to promote the national reconciliation," he said.

"The experiment of Kurdistan Region has been proven a success with the region's formation and the exploitation of wealth according to a well-studied and scientific basis.

"Turning the province into an independent region will be done according to the law, with a referendum and the approval of one third of the provincial council, and will be submitted to the Iraqi government for approval."

Article 119 of the Iraqi constitution says provinces can become a region by referendum if one third of the council or one tenth of the voters request it.

I think this is the best solution for Iraq. Sunni/shite and kurds should control their own regions or we will have repression and civil war. No sect should have the right to control the fate of others of course nouri-alsaddami want a strong goverment so we can be his and Irans slaves.

[hevalo27]

this step from sunni arabs is good for kurdistan

it will reduce the power of the central government

Iraq will be divided into 3 new states.

North: Kurdistan with Hewler as capital

Mid: Sunni Iraq with Mosul or Tikrit as capital

South: Shia Iraq with Baghdad as capital.

Mosul is yet to declare autonomy but it's not easy as there are 16 administrative areas that fall under KRG's control so the autonomy must exclude these areas or it will no be accepted by KRG . And I think salahadin province will be the capital of a Sunni region.
