Iraq is responsible for the safety and protection of its civilians,
and the outside world should stimulate both Baghdad and the Kurdish
government to take that responsibility, says Jeannette Seppen, until

Baghdad, she has left for the same position in Pakistan.
After ISIS entered the arena halfway through her term in Iraq, Seppen’s

shown.
In this exclusive interview, Rudaw spoke to Seppen about her years in
Iraq, where she visited the Kurdistan region often as the Netherlands
upgraded its embassy office in Erbil into a consulate.
