Khurshid Harki, a prominent figure of the Harki tribe, announced that tensions have been resolved following recent clashes, and that Nechirvan Barzani has personally guaranteed a resolution to the issue.


In a press conference held on Wednesday, July 9, 2025, Khurshid Harki described the incident as a "great disaster” that they had attempted to prevent, but unfortunately could not stop. He confirmed that a special committee has been formed to address the issue and assured that a recurrence of the violence is "impossible.”


Earlier, Harki sent a message to Shaswar Abdulwahid, leader of the New Generation Movement, emphasizing their stance against oppression. He condemned the use of tanks and armored vehicles against civilians, calling it a tactic of authoritarian regimes.


The statement comes after deadly clashes between Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) forces and Khurshid Harki’s group, in which two people were killed and five others injured.
