Just two days after independence referendum in Iraqi Kurdistan, there are signs of an escalating crisis. Iraq’s parliament has called on the country’s Prime Minister, Haider al-Abadi to send troops to Kirkuk- an oil-rich city- that is  claimed by both Baghdad and the Kurdistan Regional Government. Iraqi PM has given KRG a 72-hours ultimatum to "surrender" all border crossings to Baghdad government.
