SULAIMANIYAH, Iraq, Aug 06, 2014 (AFP) — Kurdish troops battling jihadists in the northern Iraqi area of Sinjar will need days to open a safe passage for civilians stranded in nearby mountains, a top Kurdish Iraqi official said Wednesday.
"The PKK is working to open a safe passage for the displaced, it is not easy and it will require days," Harem Kamal Agha, the senior Patriotic Union of Kurdistan official for the Dohuk region, told AFP.
