Plan V for Victory and Peace in Iraq by Paul Flum, Founder
- The Federal Republic of Iraq, as we now envision it, would involve the establishment of four distinct semiautonomous nonsectarian states within a unified country. The Kurds in the Northern Mountain State, who are already well along in this process, would serve as the model for the Baghdad Central Capitol State, Shia Southern Marsh State, and Sunni Western Desert State to emulate.
- The capitol of the Republic would be the city of Baghdad, which is in the Province and State of Baghdad – currently the smallest of Iraq’s existing 18 Provinces, and home to over six million citizens. The population will, of course, remain ethnically mixed in Baghdad – as it should be.
- A FOUR-STATE FEDERAL SOLUTION makes perfect sense because it is nonsectarian and neutralizes the very process of violence and separation that is happening now.
- We are not advocating the breakup of Iraq! A Federal Republic maintains Iraq as a single country, but allows for the three large territorial states and the Capitol State to express their unique identity with open borders, as well as the small but ethnically diverse and heavily populated Province and State of Baghdad. This would involve a Northern Mountain State (Kurd), a central Western Desert State (Sunni), and a Southern Marsh State (Shia). A federal system that would legitimize such an arrange-ment is already indicated in the Iraqi Constitution.
- A Federation, by definition, is a union of self-governing states united under a central government.
