Since the Kurdish referendum on Independence, Iraqi Kurds have lost their president, control of airspace and disputed territories -- including the oil rich province of Kirkuk. It's meant that hundreds of millions of dollars in profits from oil exports in the disputed territories are now entirely under Baghdad’s control. The Kurdish region is faced with the sudden loss of resources - which had been vital in its push for independence. Meanwhile many Kurds are also angry at their long-standing allies, the US, for not intervening to stop the Kirkuk offensive - which was carried out by Iraqi forces and the Iranian backed Shia paramilitary group the PMU. Vice News travels to the Baba Gurgur oil field in Iraq's disputed territories - newly recaptured by Iraqi forces following the Kurdish vote on independence.
