History:

Makhmour has been part of Erbil since the founding of the modern Iraqi state. However, Ninewa has administered the district since the Green Line was established in 1991. Despite this, UNAMI could not find legal documentation officially redrawing Erbil and Ninewa’s provincial boundaries to reflect this.
The Ninewa office of the Article 140 Committee received approximately 20,000 claims for compensation from Kurdish families displaced from Makhmour during the 1990s. This is the highest number of claims from any district in Ninewa.
