Kurdish youths hold anti-Arab march in Erbil

Tensions in Iraqi Kurdistan are spilling over as this weekend Kurds took to the street verbally and physically attacking Arabs, who they blame for the historical persecution of Kurds. Many demonstrators harassed people they identified as Arabs and called for them to be expelled from the city. With the Islamic State constantly advancing on the region, ethnic hatred could increase.
