25th of September is a historic day for Kurdish people. Large numbers of Kurdish people have taken part in a landmark vote on independence for Iraq's Kurdistan region, amid increasing opposition both at home and abroad. Votes are still being counted, with a big victory for "yes" expected. It believed this step will increase instability and hardships for the Kurdistan region and its people, but locals are positive about it, and they paid the price for it already thought-out the past decades. The referendum passed off peacefully across the three provinces that make up the region, and in areas controlled by Kurdish forces. Turnout was estimated at about 72%, according to the electoral commission. Partial unofficial results published by the Kurdish Rudaw website show that more than 90% have voted for independence.
