Full de facto independence edit

This was not entirely achieved through the creation and enforcement of a No-Fly Zone. This is why I had to change the text which was erroneous in the first place (independence came after March 1991 uprisings). The No-Fly Zone hampered Iraq's ability to defend itself using airstrikes. The zone however did not cover a vast Kurdish area and it was down to further fighting between separatists and government forces that drove the Iraqi forces out. De facto independence then came in October, seven months after the NFZ was declared. User:Evlekis (Евлекис) 20:43, 4 April 2010 (UTC)Reply

Belarus listed as supporter edit

As of this moment, Belarus is listed as a supporter of the KDP in the Civil War. The provided source merely states that Belarus had been selling weapons to Iraq, troughout the 1990s. Even if this is true, and even if Iraq is one of the combatants, there are three problems with the definition of Belarus as a supporter. First, the source lists the weapons as sold, not gifted or supplied for use - implying an arms trade relationship (even in the context of the embargo), rather than a "support" relationship. Second, the arms deliveries started before the beginning of the conflict and ended far after it's end and for that reason do not appear to be associated with this conflict in particular. Lastly - the source lists not only Belarus, but also Ukraine, Russia and Syria as also conducting commercial arms trade with Iraq during this period. Why is Belarus singled out? For these reasons, I doubt that the relationship between Minsk and Baghdad in this period could be desribed as "support" within the context of this offensive. Rather, I believe that they merely show a commercial arms trade relationship between the two countries. While that may be noteworthy in of itself, due to the fact that Iraq was under an arms embargo at this time, I do not think that it shows "support" to the level necessary to be listed as a supportive combatant for the purposes of a military conflict infobox.
