Kurdish expansion, anti demo called

Ismail Abbudi, the head of the local Arab Grouping, told reporters on Tuesday he expected to see "thousands of Arabs and Turkmen march on Wednesday to reject the federalism bill by the Kurds and the expansion of the Kurdish provinces to include Kirkuk."

The demonstration will be held under the slogan "Equality between all Iraq's ethnic groups and religions," he said.

Abbudi said that the different Arab and Turkmen parties would be represented as well as the partisans of the young firebrand Shia cleric Moqtada al-Sadr, whose men will maintain security during the march.

On 22 December, thousands of Kurds demonstrated in Kirkuk in favour of including the city, which lies 255 kms north of Baghdad, in their provinces.
