Iraqi officers don't let me enter Federal Iraq: I drive back to Kurdistan.

I have started to drive solo from France to Saudi Arabia in July, and I'm now getting ready to go overlanding the South part of the Republic of Iraq: Federal Iraq. In today's episode, I'm driving to Erbil, the largest city of the Kurdistan Region, where I've been invited by an Iraqi family (originally from Kirkuk in Federal Iraq). I have spent a few days with them where I had the chance to have a class on how to make Iraqi dolma and to eat tham for the first time. After a couple of days I'm finally ready to drive to the checkpoint between Kurdistan and Federal Iraq, but nothing goes according to plan and I'm denied to enter. I have to drive back to Erbil and maybe I will have to cancel the adventure...
