Removing contradiction “first Kurdish city to be liberated by the rebels and the last to fall”
The title sentence has a contradiction tag saying “The article on the 1991 uprisings in Iraq says that Basra was the first city to revolt.” and refers to 1991 uprisings in Iraq.

It is true that the uprising started in Basra, but that's not a contradiction to the sentence, since “Basra was the scene of chaotic, pitched battles for several days, but never fell completely into rebel hands. In other cities, the rebels ousted the security forces with little difficulty. The army later recaptured some cities, such as Karbala and al-Najaf, only after bitter fighting, but swept into others, such as Suleimaniyya, with little resistance.” (the source that also contains the sentence about Sulaymaniyah).

Therefore, I'll remove the contradiction and make the disputed sentence a bit more clear.

Wrong result
It was not an Iraqi victory, it was a Kurdish victory. Nothing supports the claim of a "counter-offensive", including the references used (which do not include any mention of a counter-offensive). This battle is also written in 2 other languages, which both say that this battle is a Kurdish victory. Therefore, could someone who has permission edit the page to say it was a Kurdish victory and remove the counter-offensive part? Setergh (talk) 12:46, 6 July 2024 (UTC)
