    ABOUT SOMA DIGEST

    SOMA Digest, Iraqi Kurdistan's one and only English-language news digest, was launched on 14 February 2006. It is a subsidiary of the KHAK Press & Media Center in Slemani, and it is published in Baghdad by Al Mada.

    Issued bimonthly and distributed across Iraq, SOMA Digest strives to offer its readership a broad spectrum of views on Iraqi and Kurdish affairs. It features analyses on the hottest topics in the region, and exclusive interviews with leading figures.

    Opinions and views expressed in these pages do not necessarily reflect the position of the publication.

    An unparalleled historic opportunity
    By Agri Ismil

    London, rush hour. I used to think that the YouTube clips showing people in Japan whose occupation it was to push people inside the tube so that the doors could close were fake. They’re not.


    Mercenaries hinder democratization
    By Dr Joseph Kechichian

    One of the least understood aspects of the War for Iraq was the role played by “contractors” who raked in billions of dollars for their services to protect civilian officials.


    Nawroz is here again
    By Anwar M. Qaradaghi

    Good old Nawroz, just like other peoples' celebrated national days, arrives on its discernible day! It does not consult anyone about its coming or if its presence since the previous year has brought about any outstanding augmentation in the lot of its people.
