Somaliland attractions and unrecognized countries tourism? Ahmadawa is a mountain village and a major local tourist spot, the top attraction being a waterfall. It’s around 30km from Halabja and I think the best way is to hitchhike. It took me around 3 rides to get to the village and, from there, the waterfall is just a couple of kilometers away. The trail that goes up to the waterfall is filled with tourist shops and cafes. It is nothing outstanding but I find interesting to visit crowded touristic sites in Iraq. How to go back to Sulaymaniyah – You need to hitchhike back to a larger town named Khurmal, just a few kilometers after Ahmadawa. There is a tiny taxi station but, if it’s late in the afternoon, around 4 or 5pm, there may not be taxis to Suli. Instead, I took a shared taxi to Sadiq Said (2,000ID) and, from there, I paid 3,000ID for a direct one to Suli.

Iraqi Kurdistan refers to the four northern Iraqi Provinces, which are autonomous of the central Iraqi government and ruled by the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG). These provinces achieved de facto independence after an uprising in 1991 and their autonomy has now been enshrined into the Iraqi federal constitution. The Kurdistan (“Land of the Kurds”) designation refers to an area of Kurdish settlement that roughly includes the mountain systems of the Zagros and the eastern extension of the Taurus. Since ancient times the area has been the home of the Kurds. The Kurdistan Region has a population of more than 5 million. In these past years the population has gone up to almost 7 million due to violence in Iraq and Syria. The KRG currently shelters millions of refugees. Discover extra info on Artsakh Tours.

Some ethnologists trace the roots of the Abkhaz to the Heniochi, a fierce tribe documented by Ancient Greek explorers, while others believe their progenitors were Kartvelian (Georgian). Regardless of their origin, everyone agrees that Abkhazians are a culturally distinct Caucasian ethnic group; they have their own language, customs, and pantheon of nature gods (though the majority of Abkhazians today practice Abkhazian Orthodox Christianity and, to a lesser extent, Islam).

Unrecognized countries, by their very nature, sit outside of the international system in regards to banking, trade and international relations, until the time they are recognized by the international community. As such, they base their positions upon their own national and geopolitical interests, so far national security is a significant and integral part of them. Mostly, international community members endorse central powers in order to escape separatism in their own territories, to avoid sanctions, not to promote terrorism and extremism. As such, this leads to emergence of such a phenomenon as unrecognized countries, and the institute of recognition bases on precedent but not a set of written rules.
