Ethnic tensions in Kirkuk | AJ #shorts

Simmering tension erupts into violence in Kirkuk in Iraq.
It follows reports that Kurds were to be given back a building that had become the Iraqi security forces' provincial headquarters.
Intended by the Iraqi government in Baghdad as a gesture of goodwill to Kurds, it led instead to a furious reaction from Arabs and Turkmen.
So how can the unrest be resolved?

Security forces dispersed rival demonstrations by Kurdish and Arab residents over the Kurdistan Democratic Party's return to the political arena.
