Akre

Akre (Akra) is a settlement of Kurds (Volume 4, s. 119; Volume 4, p. 264). ## Administrative Structure Akre is one of the accidents of the Ottoman administrative division, along with Zibar, Duhok, Zaho, Sincar and Koysancak. The population, language and Masjid Salnames, in the Akre incident related to Mosul, record that the majority of the tribe is made up of Kurds and the local language is Kurdish (Volume 4, p. 264). These records show that Akre is consistently counted among the Kurdish-populated incidents of South Kurdistan in the Salname literature (Volume 4, p. 264; Volume 4, s. 271). ## In the Ottoman archival catalogues after the First World War, Rumi has a coded telegraph image dated 22 December 1335 (22 November 1919), showing that the insurgency in the Mosul region was growing and that local administrations were beginning to be established in Akra, Imadye, Revandız and Erbil, and that the tribes of the region were appealing to Shemdinan for the execution of governmental work (Volume 3, p. 124). This document documents attempts to fill the administrative gap in and around Acre after Mondros with local Kurdish structures (Volume 3, p. 124).
