Fresh demo in Mosul against Peshmerga

NINEWA / IraqiNews.com: Scores of Mosul residents participated on Wednesday in a peaceful demonstration in the city to express their rejection to the presence of Peshmerga forces (Kurdish guards) in Ninewa province. “More than 150 demonstrators marched near the local authority’s building at al-Jumhoriya St. in central Mosul,” a source from Ninewa province told Iraqi News. He said that the demonstrators condemned the move made by U.S. forces to honor Peshmerga forces who have been in-service at the Mosul dam since five years. This demonstration is considered the second of its type after the one staged last Monday (Sept. 28, 2009). Mosul, the capital city of Ninewa province, lies 405 km north of Baghdad. MH (P)/SH 1
