LONDON — Two dozen demonstrators took to the streets near the prime minister’s residence in Westminster here to support the Kurdish people’s struggle for a homeland. The Nov. 18 action condemned the British government’s support for the Iraqi government and its refusal to honor the Kurdish people’s vote for independence. Protesters opposed British Petroleum’s collaboration with Baghdad’s moves to exploit the Kirkuk oilfields, seized from the Kurdistan Regional Government last month.
