    The Iraqi government has removed 48 Kurdish officials from their posts in the disputed cities, especially Kirkuk and Tuzhurkumato, since they took control of these areas following the referendum on independence of Kurdistan in September 2017.

    Kurdish officials have said the Iraqi government has resumed a campaign of "forced demographic change" in the disputed territories in an effort to weaken them.

    The Kurds in Kirkuk lost the portfolios of the governor, the mayor, the head of the provincial council, the head of the Integrity Committee, the director of health and agriculture, housing, investment, water resources, sports, police and district police, crime control, emergency police and antiquities protection.

    The sources say the Kurds lost in Kirkuk alone about 20 positions.

    In Daquq, south of Kirkuk, the Kurds lost seven posts: the mayor (Qaimmakam), the police director, the director of crime control, and the director of agriculture, natural resources, communications and finance.

    The former regime, which in 2003 dropped population changes in areas inhabited by a national mix for Arabs at the expense of Kurds in Kirkuk and other cities.

    "Seven months after the October 16 attack, the acting governor of Kirkuk, Rakan al-Jubouri, decided to dismiss me," said the former governor of Daqoq, Amir Khawakram of Kurdistan 24. "We reject this decision completely."

    Khawakram was referring to the Iraqi offensive, which ended with the control of most of the disputed areas, including ethnic, religious and national Dawaq.

    He added that the decision to dismiss him falls within the framework of "another Arabization campaign" at the expense of the Kurds.

    "I will not give up this post even if they threaten to cut my head because this is another Arabization campaign in the region," he said, adding that he would appeal against his decision to sack him at the Federal Supreme Court.

    In the cities of Dibs, Sarkran and Alton Kobri, Kurds have lost eight influential positions in recent months, most notably the mayor and the heads of police and the fight against criminality, agriculture, electricity and others.

    In the city of Tuzkurmato, east of Tikrit, the Iraqi authorities have set up Arab and Turkoman officials instead of other Kurds who have been removed from office.

    The sources said that the Kurds lost in this city the posts of mayor (Qaimmakam) and directors of agriculture, electricity, health and veterinary.

    In the Nineveh and Sinjar Plain, the Kurds lost seven positions: the heads of the municipalities of Sinjar, Sennoni, Jair Ozeir, the heads of the Directorate of Water Resources in Mosul, the Zammar police and other jobs.

    Informed sources say authorities have sacked more than 200 police and other government officials in Zammar since October.

    The disputed areas between the Iraqi government and the Kurdistan Regional Government include several cities, some of which have a Kurdish majority and are inhabited by different ethnic groups, most notably Kirkuk, Tuzakhurmatu, Sinjar and Khanaqin.

    Kurdish officials see their removal from office as an indication that there is no intention on the part of the federal government to work together in the land of their ancestors.

    "There is a negative attempt by Baghdad to exclude Kurdish officials in Kirkuk, and other measures will be taken," said Piston Zangana, a former member of parliament. "This is unacceptable."

    According to the population structure, Kurds make up more than half the population in Kirkuk, according to Zangana, who said that "any changes must be based on the results of the elections."

    Kurds in Kirkuk won six seats out of 13 seats in the May 12 parliamentary elections, while Arabs and Turkmens won three seats each and Christians won seats in the quota system.

    According to Article 140 of the 2005 constitution, the future of Kirkuk and other disputed areas was to be decided upon in three stages, beginning with normalization and then counting on a local referendum on its return, but this was not implemented due to political differences.
