Kurdish woman acquires high position in Iraq
Iraq, Politics, 7/4/2003

In a remarkable development, Mubeira Abu Baker has assumed her post as a governor for Doukan district to the north of Iraq, to be therefore the first Iraqi Kurdish woman to assume this administrative post since the foundation of the modern Iraq in 1921.

In a press conference she held at the governorate's headquarters, 62 Km from the city of al-Suleimaneyah, Mubeira said she seeks to provide best services for the citizens of the district and its affiliated villages and housing complexes. She vowed to spare no effort to honor the law within the administrative borders of the district.

Doukan, however, is one of the administrative districts which affiliates to al-Suleimaneyah province. It is situated on the small al-Zaab river in a touristic area where in 1975 a dam and a lake of Dukan were established. A hydro-thermal station was founded, feeding for the timebeing parts of the governorates of al-Suleimaaneyah and Irbil and part of Karkouk with electricity.
