Half a million Kurds and Iraqis migrated abroad over past 5 years

564,273 Iraqis have emigrated in the past 5 years, most of them from the north and west. Many took the boats to Europe and were fleeing the ISIS war. It’s not as big as the refugee exodus in 05-07, but still a sizable number. https://t.co/b5YlZjK8JS

In the original Kurdish report, it says majority of those migrating are Kurds, very few are Arabs - out of the 233 that died and 156 that have gone missing only 30 are Arabs (this hasn’t been included in the English translation):https://t.co/6d2zbb66pc pic.twitter.com/0RhUXRIHgV
