Receiving explicit threat by his deputy Barham Salih, to join the five
leaders claiming reforms, Jalal Talabani was forced to agree to all
the conditions presented plus sharing power within his own party, the
Patriotic Union of Kurdistan(PUK) in order to avoid breaking, which
was imminent and about to dilute three months prior to the legislative
elections in Iraqi Kurdistan.
The five leaders, including the strong Peshmarga leader Kosarat
Rasool, Assistant Secretary General and Vice-President of Kurdistan,
have resigned on Saturday, demanding more resolute fight against
corruption and more democratic practice within this party founded by
Talabani in 1975. Hiro Ibrahim Ahmed, Talabani is wife has had strong
power over the decision concerning the end of the party money and the
leadership posts for in fifteen years on. A PUK source by phone call
told FATEHOON correspondent in Berlin that Kosarat Rasool in a calm
manner confronted Talabani with a number of embarrassing issues,
giving him the choice either to silently accept the conditions without
reflecting any negative effects, or to be fully ousted and thereby the
Kurds and the party bases are to be given reports of all the horrors
committed by Talabani and his wife Hiro.
The source, a leading member of the party who requested to remain
anonymous, added that Kosarat asked Talabani to drive out his
counselor Fakhri Kareem, who issues ALMADA newspaper by full back and
finance directly from Hiro, Talabani is wife. According to the source,
Talabani did openly announce that he had had enough of the fakhri
Kareem whom Kosarat has revealed his secret coordination with Hiro
Ibrahim is plans and programs which the leadership of the party know
nothing about. Kosarat spoke openly about Hiro is 20% ownership of the
Asia Cell Telecom shares and also about Talabani is nephew the called
ARRAS Sheikh janki is 4% ownership of the same company shares, the
company run puppetly by Farouk Sayed Mustafa. The official also said
that Kosarat demanded Talabani to disclose the investments of the
party represented by a series of real estate in Britain, particularly
in London and the Kroedn City run by Hiro and her sister,wife of Latif
Rashid, Minister of the Environment within the currently Al-Maliki
government, who was also ex- official of the party in London prior to
the removal of the former regime.
The source pointed out Talabani announced that he was not the only who
back the hidden cancer of the party represented by Fakhri Kareem,
hinting that Massoud Barzani, had granted him a house in Erbil, made
him of the closest and given him number of media activities that
might compete activities of the Government of the Kurdistan region
themselves. The source stressed on the fact that Hiro Ibrahim has
transgressed all limits and that she really sweared to revenge herself
on the traitors, saying that the party is more important than
individuals.
The same source said that Talabani, 75 y.o, agreed to the application
of transparency concerning the Party financial management and letting
it be under the disposal of the Political Bureau, and also to change
a number of officers within the party offices, in addition to the
change of the party officials within the Kurdistan Region government.
The source revealed that the Peshmerga forces announced their
recognition to Kosarat and his aides, after having controlled over all
the party headquarters in Erbil and Sulaymaniyah, and that Barham
Salih, has announced his joining Kosarat, the which weakened
Talabani is position, when suddenly he found himself alone.
The agreement also included the supervision of either Vice-President,
Kosarat Rasool or Barham Salih, Deputy Prime Minister on the current
intelligence of the party. Until now, the intelligence bodies are
under control of those closest to Talabani.

between Talabani, Rasool and Salih. It was also agreed to begin a
dialogue with a number of the party dissidents, such as Mustafa
