Kolbars: Quest for a livelihood on the Iran-Iraq border ends in tragedy Mehmed Salih Bedirxan
The tragedy of the Kolbars, those who transport smuggled goods on their back between Iran and the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) is bleak. In 2020 alone, 56 Kolbars died and 167 were injured, according to data provided by Iran-based human rights organisations.
The illegal transportation of goods on the Iran-KRG border - kolberi in Persian - has become a source of income for thousands of people. Kolbars carry goods weighing between 25 and 120kg on their backs, through dangerous mountainous and mined border terrains.
In the KRG, Kolbars buy electronic products, cigarettes and drapery in Erbil and various other places before delivering the goods to merchants at collection points in Iran.
