Shafaq reports Duhok tree-cutting concerns; KRG denies attributed remarks

Shafaq News interviewed residents about continued cutting of mature trees in Duhok. In a follow-up, the KRG’s Department of Foreign Relations denied remarks attributed to its head, Safeen Dizayee, about KRG knowledge of border tree cutting. That denial does not resolve the extent of loss or responsibility.

Shafaq relays the department’s denial; the original statement was not inspected directly. Its earlier resident interviews did not contain the disputed quote. Neither report independently establishes logging extent, responsibility or authorisation. No independent corroboration was found. Event time retains the October 2 publication minute, not a logging time. Military positions, movements, routes, vulnerable settlements and inferred identities remain excluded.
