Kurdistan's Wild West

Kurdistan's Wild West

Wednesday, 10 February, 2010

With a reputation for lawlessness, the town of Chamchamal has long been considered Iraqi Kurdistan's "Wild West'.

A recent increase in violent crime has prompted a group of residents to call on the Kurdistan Regional Government to take action. In response, hundreds of troops were deployed in the town on February 4.
