KDP Zone (Erbil–Duhok) — De Facto Map
KDP Zone (Erbil–Duhok) — KDP Zone · Erbil and Duhok · Western Kurdistan Region.
Interactive de facto map of the KDP zone of Iraqi Kurdistan. The Kurdistan Democratic Party of the Barzani family rules the western half of the autonomous region from Erbil and Duhok, holding the regional presidency and premiership, its own peshmerga units and the Parastin intelligence service. Its economy runs on the Turkish border trade, and Ankara is its principal external partner. This map shows the zone the KDP actually administers — one half of a region that is unified on paper and divided on the ground.
