Kurdish Regional Government

The Kurdish Regional Government (KRG) is the autonomous administrative authority governing the Kurdish-majority areas in northern Iraq. Established in 2005, it functions with its own government, parliament, and security forces, while remaining part of Iraq. The KRG manages local affairs, including education, health, and economic development, and seeks to protect Kurdish culture and rights. It operates with a degree of independence but coordinates with the national Iraqi government on broader issues, balancing regional self-governance with national unity. The KRG plays a key role in regional stability and the Kurdish people's aspirations for self-determination.
