OFFICIALS in Iraq accused the United Nations of colluding with global forces today in a bid to shut down a Kurdish refugee camp frequently bombed by Turkey.

They condemned the continuing silence by international bodies while residents of the Makhmour camp suffer war crimes and an attempted genocide by the Turkish state.

The camp, situated in one of the areas where control is contested by the Kurdistan regional government (KRG) and the Iraqi federal administration, has come under renewed pressure in recent weeks.
