As ISIS continues its savagery throughout Iraq, the government of Iraq (GoI) has recently transitioned its leadership with Prime Minister al-Abadi replacing al-Maliki.  Many hope that al-Abadi will create an inclusive national government that bridges Iraq’s diverse sects. New leadership offers Iraq a chance at democracy, and also provides the GoI the opportunity to make amends with the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) by addressing the serious grievances the KRG has endured under the predecessor government.
