![]() Kamaran Najm/ DER SPIEGEL A Kurdish family picnics outside Kirkuk: Despite predictions, the Muslims and Christians, whether Kurdish, Arab or Turkmen, have been coexisting more peacefully than in former times. "In the past, people sat on their blankets, far apart from each other, and no one spoke with anyone else," says Mohammed Hilmi. "Those days are now gone." ![]() Kamaran Najm/ DER SPIEGEL Children play in the water outside Kirkuk: When they withdrew from i-rack in late 2011, the Americans hoped to leave behind a democratic country. i-rack's enormous oil reserves, the thinking went, could easily provide the country with peace and prosperity. ![]() Kamaran Najm/ DER SPIEGEL One reason for Kirkuk's success is its governor, Najmuddin, Karim, who has fired corrupt officials and focused on creating infrastructure and jobs. Another is Kirkuk Province Police Chief Sarhad Kadir, seen here greeting guards outside of Kirkuk's Central Police Station. (Note: despite the i-racki flag these guys are all kurds!) ![]() Notwithstanding the horrific attacks, Kirkuk's development is gathering steam. Hotels and apartment buildings are under construction, and a new power plant is in the works. Here, two female students at Kirkuk University College of Education wear traditional Turkmen clothing during a celebration for the day of traditional Kurdish dress. ![]() Kurdish students at Kirkuk University College of Education celebrate the day of traditional Kurdish dress |
