Who is Idris Nechirvan Barzani
Idris Nechirvan Barzani is the eldest son of Nechirvan Barzani, the President of the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG).
Since 2019, he has served as the Chancellor of the University of Kurdistan Hewlêr (UKH), the first internationally accredited university in the Kurdistan Region. He is also the President and Founder of the Rwanga Foundation, an NGO focused on expanding access to education across the KRI.
Media reports suggest that Idris leads an extravagant lifestyle. A leaked document obtained by EKurd Daily revealed that he spent $375,399 on two luxury watches during a trip to the U.S. Additionally, he reportedly sold his shares in Kurdistan International Bank (KIB) for approximately $35 million after purchasing a 9.9% stake in June 2020.
