    Throughout Iraqi Kurdistan, students are finally studying Kurdish history, which was forbidden under Iraqi rule. It is the only place in Kurdistan where classes are held in Kurdish. Without the money to print their own text books, students are forced to make do with what the Iraqis left behind, sometimes filling up notebooks and erasing them to be used. These students are in a classroom of a bombed out school in Penjwin, Iraq, near the border with Iran.

    In the continual tug of war between Turkey and Iraq over their restive Kurdish populations, this Iraqi Pesh Merga was pitted against his PKK (Kurdistan Workers Party) brothers and sisters. In exchange for allowing relief supplies to enter Iraqi Kurdistan and providing a base for U.S. jets to patrol the region, Turkey expected the Pesh Merga to help control the PKK. Iraq 1991
