Iraq - Kurdish North

Join CPT's first ever delegation to the Kurdish north of Iraq. Hear first-hand stories of a people subjected to decades of violence and oppression by the Western-backed regime of Saddam Hussein, international economic sanctions, and the US-led invasion, occupation and betrayal. While governments of the West continue to debate the future of lands and peoples not their own, this delegation is an opportunity for you to engage in bridge-building between people here and at home, to experience the hospitality and hope of the Kurdish region and its people, and to come to a deeper understanding of the history and stakes for all the Iraqi people.
