From the ashes of the 2003 American invasion of Iraq and the toppling of Saddam Hussein’s regime, Iraq’s Kurds managed to wrestle a form of relative independence. Still technically part of Iraq, Iraqi Kurdistan, in the north of the country, enjoys a heightened level of independence.
To the Kurds, it is Başȗr (Bahsur), the southern province of the 4 composing what could one day be their own country, Kurdistan.
Bashur is a territory that has all the makings of a country, without quite being one.
A mix of refugee camps, army bases manned by old soldiers, and giant picnics.
Between the camps and the cities, shepherds inhabit the hills, hugging roads dotted by checkpoints adorned with images of martyrs killed in the fight against the Islamic State.
