Iraqi authorities lifted a curfew imposed on 02 September following deadly protests that left at least four people dead, according to the Kirkuk police spokesman. The tension in Kirkuk erupted between Kurdish residents on one side and Arab and Turkmen demonstrators who had been staging a sit-in since 28 August near the headquarters of the Iraqi military’s Joint Operations Command (JOC) and blocked Kirkuk-Erbil Road, as they reject an Iraqi government decision to hand over the headquarters to the Kurdistan Democratic Party.
