While the people of South Kurdistan experience economic and social problems and are subject to invasion attacks by the Turkish state, the children of the Barzani family open multi-million dollar universities and govern them as they please.
The Barzani family and the KDP are handing over the gains that the people of South Kurdistan have achieved as a result of their decades-long struggle, to the invasion attacks by the Turkish army for their own power and interests, and are ensuring that the Turkish army and its gangs get themselves established in Behdinan.
Barzani and the KDP are usurping the rights of their own people and society in Hewler and are using what belongs to the people for their own family dynasty.
The Kurdistan Federal Government has not yet been able to pay the salaries of July and August. It is still uncertain whether the salaries of this month, September, will be paid or not.
There are serious electricity and water problems in the settlements in the Federal Region. While electricity is provided for 8 to 12 hours a day, water is provided for 8 hours a day in many places where is scarce.
The government headed by Masrour Barzani is accused of corruption by the Baghdad government, and the parties keep blaming each other for the non-payment of salaries.
While the people of South Kurdistan are struggling with major economic and social problems, members of the Barzani family are making headlines with million-dollar investments.
British International University
On Saturday, the President of the Kurdistan Federal Government, Masrour Barzani, opened the British International University in Hewler. The university was built at a cost of approximately 100 million dollars. The university belongs to Masrour Barzani's son, Arin Barzani, who is only in his early twenties. Arin Barzani graduated from the Royal Sandhurst Military Academy in England last month and is receiving a salary as a lieutenant from the Kurdistan Federal Region Government.
University of Kurdistan - Hewler
The University of Kurdistan in Hewler is headed by Mir Idris Nêchirvan Barzani, the son of Kurdistan Regional Government President Nêchirvan Barzani. According to the law, in order to head a university, one must work in academia for at least 10 years, but Mir Idris Barzani has no connection to academia and is only in his early twenties. Mir Idris Barzani runs a well-known university in Iraq, where dozens of academics with hundreds of students work, as he pleases.
He appears to be in charge of the university financed by the Kurdistan Federal Government, and receives a salary from Baghdad as a government employee.
