Mosul, June 6—The Iraqi racist regime has arranged for 200 Arab families to be transferred from Hamam Aleel to be permanently settled in Kurdistan districts of Bartila, Alqush, Karamlees, and the surrounding villages still under its control. The municipalities have been ordered to grant the new Arab settlers free plots of land  to build their residences. The districts are officially part of the Mosul Governorate.

Meanwhile in Kirkuk the Iraqi authorities have given six million Iraqi dinars for the purpose of relocating a number of Arab settlers from the areas of Jabal Himreen to the city of Kirkuk. The regime in Baghdad has brought out a new incentive scheme for its ethnic cleansing and Arabization policy that grants any new Arab settler in Kirkuk a free grant of ten million Iraqi dinars per family.
