Ismael Mohammad, the deputy governor in Duhok province, told Rudaw that Baghdad has promised Kurdistan Region to send 5 billion Iraqi Dinars (more than 4 million dollars) for this project.
“We have prepared the lands and now we are waiting for the money Baghdad is expected to send,” Mohammad explained, “the Kurdistan Region hasn’t yet received 5bn dinar Federal government promised to send.”
More than 200,000 residents of Mosul fled the city since ISIS swiftly captured it back in June 2014.
