Khanaqin (Arabic: خانقين;[2] Kurdish: خانەقین, romanized: Xaneqîn[3][4]) is the central city of Khanaqin District in Diyala Governorate, Iraq, near the Iranian border (8 km) on the Alwand tributary of the Diyala River.[1] The town is populated by Kurds who speak the Southern Kurdish dialect.[5] Khanaqin is situated on the main road which Shia pilgrims use when visiting holy Islamic cities.[1] The city is moreover rich in oil and the first Iraqi oil refinery and oil pipeline was built nearby in 1927.[6][7] The main tribes of Khanaqin include Kalhor,[8] Feyli,[9] Zand,[10] Malekshahi[11] Suramiri,[12] Arkavazi[13] and Zangana.[14]
The city experienced Arabization during the Saddam era, but this has been substantially reversed after the fall of the regime in 2003 and remains disputed.[1][15]
