If Iraq is to remain one country, it needs democratic confederalism. The Yazidis in Sinjar and the Assyrians in Niniveh Plains deserve their own autonomous provinces/regions. Same thing with Sunni Arabs. Just like in Northern Syria, there should be a secular federal democracy that respects the cultural, national, linguistic and religious rights of all groups.
