Easy Answers
Questions are being raised as to why all of this aid and assistance is flowing into the Kurdish north of Iraq, while the south isn’t seeing the same level of help.
The reason is simple – Kurds are fighting to protect their areas and to regain areas they have been pushed out of of by ISIS. When the US attacks ISIS heavy weapons, the Kurds follow up on the ground. Refugees are flowing into the Kurdish area to escape ISIS, and they are a burden on the local government.
People, like the UN, have access to the Kurdish areas and can deliver supplies to refugees, which is not true in much of southern Iraq. The Iraqi army still isn’t capable of a competent offensive campaign.
The world helps those who are willing to help themselves.
