Iraqi Kurdistan has been in the news in recent months, as Iran and Iranian proxies have bombarded American bases in northern Iraq and also civilian targets in the cities of Iraqi Kurdistan.
David Blair traveled to Iraqi Kurdistan in October, 2025 on a delegation led by Community Peacemaker Teams. The delegation witnessed the work of CPT team members to document cross border attacks by Turkey and Iran which have caused death, damage and displacement; and to support journalists and civil society activists who are persecuted by the Kurdish Regional Government.
This program will introduce you to the landscape, people and cultural richness of a part of the world little known to Americans. The mission of Community Peacemaker Teams is “to build partnerships to transform violence and oppression.” You will meet the local peacemakers who risk injury and death in this work, and you will be inspired by their courage.
