Iraq’s central government has refused to send the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG)’s share of oil revenue for the month of April which were previously agreed to, sources told Rudaw on Thursday. “Iraqi Prime Minister Haidar al-Abadi will not approve a payment which equals the total amount of oil sold by the KRG at the Turkish Ceyhan port last month,” the source said on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the media.
