Projects: Four Fingers in Iraq: Clouds Over Kurdistan
Clouds Over Kurdistan, November 2002
A Kurdish truck driver at a yard with thousands of oil tankers on their way to Iraq to bring Iraqi crude oil back to Turkey. Much of the oil export is illegal under the UN sanctions against Iraq, but a blind eye has been turned toward the trade. The Kurds of Northern Iraq tax the transport of the oil through their territory.
