ERBIL – A Shiite, Iran-linked Coordination Framework (CF) delegation reportedly plans to visit the Kurdistan Region’s capital in the coming days to speak to the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) after alleged attempts to divide the Sunni component of their rival alliance seem to have fallen short.
The KDP is currently allied with Sunni Arabs under Parliament Speaker Mohamed al-Halbousi and popular Shiite "nationalist" cleric Muqtada al-Sadr.
On Monday, Sunni Arab Parliament Speaker Halbousi and members of the Shiite Sadrist movement travelled to Erbil for talks on trying to form a government.
