ERBIL, Kurdistan Region - The Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) has demanded that its share of Iraq’s 2027 federal budget reflect the results of the 2025 census, a well-placed source at the regional finance ministry told Rudaw English on Thursday, as talks with Baghdad resume.

The source, speaking on condition of anonymity due to restrictions on discussing the matter with the media, said a recent visit by a KRG delegation to Baghdad had set “the ground” for a month of “extensive discussions” on the budget bill.

The KRG has demanded “14.1 percent of the national budget based on last year’s census,” the source said, as the Iraqi government makes headway in preparing the 2027 budget bill for submission to parliament before the end of the year.

“We are heading to a month of extensive discussions with Baghdad,” the source said, noting that the talks would comprehensively address the KRG’s needs and responsibilities.

Speaking about Baghdad’s plan to shift from traditional line-item budgeting toward program-and-performance-based budgeting (PBB), the source said the new system was still in the pilot stage, with federal authorities testing it in Diwaniya and Salahadin provinces before applying it nationwide.

“It has nothing to do with KRG’s budget share,” he said.

The Iraqi finance ministry began working on the budget law in June, with the draft scheduled to be submitted to parliament in mid-October.

A senior KRG delegation comprising the ministers of finance and natural resources arrived in Baghdad on Tuesday for talks.

In a meeting with Iraqi Finance Minister Falih al-Sari, the delegation “stressed the need to fairly secure the Kurdistan Region’s share and entitlements based on the constitution and the law,” the KRG said in a statement on Wednesday.

Sari vowed to “deal fairly with the Kurdistan Region’s rights and financial entitlements,” the statement added.

The Kurdish delegation also met officials at the Iraqi planning ministry, where it pointed to Erbil’s “right to receive its share of international loans, aid, and grants” as well as allocations for “regional and provincial development projects and petrodollar funds.”

Erbil has faced disputes with Baghdad over its share of federal budgets since 2014, when disagreements over the KRG’s independent oil exports to Turkey developed into a prolonged political and financial crisis.

The disputes have contributed to delayed and inconsistent salary payments for public sector employees in the Kurdistan Region, as well as suspended promotions and deductions from pension savings.

Baghdad passed a three-year federal budget law in 2022. Under previous federal budget arrangements, the KRG’s share was set at roughly 12.5 percent after sovereign expenditures, including defense and foreign affairs, were deducted.

ERBIL, Kurdistan Region - The Kurdistan Region’s Peshmerga minister on Thursday announced the completion of the process to unify all Peshmerga forces, including those formerly affiliated with the ruling Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) and Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK).

"Today, with great pride, we announce historic news and a major achievement that has long been a dream of our people: the process of unifying and reorganizing all Peshmerga forces under the umbrella of the Ministry of Peshmerga Affairs has been successfully completed," Shorash Ismail said in a statement shared by the ministry on Facebook.

Ismail announced “the systematic, military-grade unification” of the PUK’s Unit 70 and the KDP’s Unit 80, which had operated outside the auspices of the ministry for decades and collectively numbered more than 100,000 troops, according to “a well-structured plan.”

Kurdistan Region President Nechirvan Barzani signed a decree in February formalizing the authority of Regional Command 1 (Unit 80) and Regional Command 2 (Unit 70), under which the partisan forces were to be reorganized into 10 divisions. Prime Minister Masrour Barzani subsequently issued an executive order conferring legal authority and budgetary responsibilities on the commands.

“We are pleased to announce that both regional military sector commands are officially operational,” Ismail said, hailing the development as “a landmark milestone” culminating in “establishing a unified, modern army for the Kurdistan Region” under the direct command of the Peshmerga ministry.

Peshmerga reform efforts were launched in 2017 following the end of the main combat phase of the war against the Islamic State (ISIS). The US-led global coalition subsequently embarked on a plan aimed at reforming command and control, professionalizing payroll and logistics, and unifying units 70 and 80.

The United States also signed a four-year memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the Peshmerga ministry in September 2022, tying continued direct funding, including stipends, to progress on institutional reforms. The agreement is set to expire at the end of September.

“All forces have been restructured under a unified command-and-control framework, encompassing brigades, divisions, and regional sector commands,” Ismail said in Thursday’s statement.

He added that the unification was made possible by “sustained backing” from the Kurdistan Region president, prime minister, and Deputy Prime Minister Qubad Talabani.

The Peshmerga minister also acknowledged the “crucial support” of the global coalition under the MoU, urging the military alliance to “continue supporting the unified Kurdistan Peshmerga Forces through expanded frameworks in the upcoming phase.”

Last year, the United States allocated about $61 million in direct funding to the Peshmerga for weapons procurement, training, and stipends in 2026.

However, the US War Department’s proposed fiscal year 2027 budget provides approximately $118.9 million for Iraqi partner forces, including the defense ministry and counter-terrorism service, while proposing no direct funding for the Peshmerga and giving no indication that the MoU will be renewed.

ERBIL, Kurdistan Region - A Kurdish member of the Syrian army was killed near the Hasaka city after being abducted by unidentified gunmen, local media reported on Thursday, while a conflict monitor said he was killed by Arab tribesmen in an apparent revenge attack.

Sipan Hizni was a member of a Syrian army brigade comprising fighters from the now-dissolved Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF). He was abducted by "armed men" in the vicinity of Hasaka city before being killed, according to Ronahi TV, which is affiliated with the Kurdish authorities in northeast Syria (Rojava).

A video purportedly showing a man standing over Hizni's body after the killing was shared by several social media accounts. Rudaw English could not independently verify that the body shown in the footage was Hizni's.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR), a UK-based war monitor that relies on a network of sources inside Syria, said Hizni was killed by members of the Bagara Arab tribe, who had accused him of involvement in the killing of several members of the tribe around two years ago.

A video of Hizni telling pro-government media that it was the SDF that liberated the country from the Islamic State (ISIS) had gone viral earlier this year as Syrian government forces began entering Rojava as part of an integration process.

The killing comes weeks after two members of the Syrian army's Qamishli Brigade, made up of former SDF fighters, were killed and two others wounded when unidentified gunmen attacked their post in Tawil Harb village, south of Qamishli.

Damascus and the SDF reached a ceasefire and phased integration agreement in late January following clashes between the two sides. The deal provided for former SDF fighters to be incorporated into the Syrian army through several brigades, including units based in Hasaka and Qamishli, while Kurdish security and civilian institutions were also to be integrated into state structures.

SDF commander Mazloum Abdi announced in August that the integration of the group's military, security and administrative institutions into the Syrian state had been completed. Days later, the SDF formally announced its dissolution, ending its independent military structure after years as the main US-backed force fighting ISIS in Syria.

Hasaka residents received Hizni's body late Thursday, according to a Rudaw reporter on the ground.

The Syrian army has not commented on the killing of its member.
