On 2 October, FAA (Ansar Allah al-Awfiya — official social media channel) relayed Reconstruction and Development Bloc deputy head Mansour al-Baiji’s demand that the Peshmerga be linked to the commander-in-chief of the armed forces. Al-Ahad TV (AAH — official owned media) had carried the same command-integration demand in its programme summary the previous evening.
