    Baghdad/Al-Masala: The Iraqi government's tireless efforts to complete the general population census scheduled for November 20 continue. This is a step that has great implications in addressing the population balance issue and restoring rights to their owners in the disputed areas, especially in Kirkuk Governorate.
    In light of this movement, opinions vary and visions conflict among the various components regarding how to implement the census amid a sensitive and tense political environment.
    Analysts say overcoming census-related obstacles, particularly in Kirkuk, is a complex challenge. The Iraqi parliament, for its part, has formed a special committee to study the issue of returning agricultural lands confiscated from Kurds and Turkmen during Baath Party rule, which some see as a step toward justice after decades of injustice.
    Different opinions were expressed in this context, noting that the census would help in establishing accurate data for calculating population ratios, which could later affect the formation of administrative distributions and resource allocations.
    According to information from informed sources, the decision issued by the Federal Court (73/Federal/2010) removed the legal obstacles to conducting the census in Kirkuk and the disputed areas, by confirming that there is no conflict between the census and the application of Article 140 of the Constitution. However, Kurdish and Turkmen leaders are demanding that the article be applied before the census begins, fearing that its results will reduce their administrative or representative rights in these areas.
    The census, which will be carried out by a joint team from the three nationalities (Arab, Kurdish, Turkmen) with the participation of members of the Christian community in their regions, comes in light of a remarkable political consensus between Erbil and Baghdad to coordinate efforts accurately.
    According to a follower’s tweet, the census is “the beginning of putting new facts before everyone,” but at the same time it is “a test of the government’s ability to deal with historical and political differences responsibly.”
    The census includes comparing ministerial data tables through the National Statistics Authority in cooperation with the Kurdistan Region Statistics Authority of Iraq, and under the supervision of the Federal Ministry of Interior.
    The analysis said that relying on the 1957 records of the Ministry of Interior and its updates, along with data from the Ministry of Commerce and the Ministry of Migration and Displacement, would add more accuracy to the census and enhance confidence in its results among citizens. According to an imaginary tweet by one citizen, “The census must be fair and transparent, without favoritism for one person over another.”
    While Parliament is witnessing heated discussions on the issue of returning agricultural lands to the Kurds and Turkmen, sources reported that the political blocs are moving towards consensus, despite the emergence of disagreements over some of the detailed provisions of the law.
    A Kurdish citizen considered, according to statements on satellite channels, that “restoring rights will not happen except through an honest and courageous vote inside the parliament dome, as no one has the right to keep what is not his.”
    With growing opinions about not including ethnicity or sect in the census form, this decision is expected to have a positive impact on unifying the national vision for the census and reassuring the various components. Despite limited objections, sources spoke of popular optimism that the census will put an end to long-standing disputes over population entitlement, but this depends on the transparency of implementation and ensuring its neutrality.
    In light of this scene, it seems that the population census is not just a routine procedure, but a step with political and social dimensions that may change the features of the balance in Kirkuk and the disputed areas.
