href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120516155808/http://www.irinnews.org/report.aspx?ReportID=90616" class="external" target="_blank">IRIN</a>) – The UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR) has expressed concern about the growing number of deportations of Iraqi asylum-seekers from Western Europe in the last two months. Special charter flights to take failed asylum-seekers home have increased in frequency, and Iraqis are being returned to parts of the country which are still unsafe, in contravention of UNHCR guidelines for the handling of Iraqi asylum applications, it says. The deportations are handled by Frontex, a Warsaw-based agency set up to coordinate operations between European Union (EU) member states in the field of border security, and their planes can carry returnees from several different countries. The most recent (on 22 September) had failed asylum applicants from Sweden, Norway, the Netherlands and the UK. One of the UNHCR’s complaints is that the information provided by those countries is usually sketchy, varies from country to country and is given only very late in the process. In the case of last week’s flight, Sweden told the UNHCR the names and dates of birth of those being sent home, but not their destinations. The UK provided details of where its rejected claimants were going but not their identities. No country told the UNHCR how many of the passengers being put on board the plane were going home voluntarily, and how many were being deported against their will, but reports from Baghdad say police had to be called to escort some of them off the plane. A spokesperson for the UNHCR, Sybella Wilkes, called for states sending home asylum-seekers to be more transparent. “We are aware when a flight is leaving,” she told IRIN, “but we don’t know until the last minute who is on board or which countries they are coming from.” The organization does not oppose people being sent back to Iraq in every case. “It’s possible that some people on the plane were going back voluntarily,” Wilkes said. “It’s possible that some were going to areas where we don’t have issues about security. But we don’t know. Having full information would be in everybody’s best interests.” What they do know is that among the passengers leaving Sweden were two women and four children. The British government said all those it was sending last week were single adult males, but their destinations included Baghdad, Ninawa, Kirkuk and Salah ad-Din – all areas the UNHCR considers unsafe. Five governorates unsafe “We are very clear in our guidelines,” said Sybella Wilkes. “Baghdad, Diyala, Kirkuk, Ninawa and Salah ad-Din are still not safe, in view of serious human rights violations and continuing security incidents in those areas. We specifically ask governments not to return people to those five governorates, and we are disappointed they are ignoring our guidelines.” The general secretary of the International Federation of Iraqi Refugees, Dashty Jamal, blamed the rise in forced removals on the electoral success of right wing parties in a number of European countries. He told IRIN: “Most of the EU countries’ right-wing parties have united together to change their immigration policy, and deport back all Iraqis who apply for asylum in their country.” He said that as well as the charter flights run by Frontex, individual refugees are being sent back almost every night on scheduled flights to Jordan. “I believe that no part of Iraq is safe, even Kurdistan. It is like the UN saying that Berne in Switzerland is safe but Zurich is not safe. This is not the time to send people back. They are playing with the lives of innocent people.” Contacted by IRIN, the UK’s border agency denied there had been any overall policy recently to deport more Iraqi asylum-seekers. Detailed figures of deportations over the past two months are not yet available, but a spokesperson insisted that every case is looked at individually and considered on its merits. “We only ever return those whom the Border Agency and the courts are satisfied are not in need of our protection, and who have failed to comply with a request to leave.” Are the Agency and the courts ignoring the UNHCR guidelines on safe and unsafe areas? “A whole range of factors are taken into account,” the spokesperson told IRIN. “And from the UK’s point of view we have to be satisfied that they don’t need our protection.” The UNHCR has been lobbying since June against the forced removals to Iraq, but says so far they have not seen any shift in position by Western European governments. Sybella Wilkes says she is disappointed. “I would like them to consider that they have a minority of Iraqi asylum-seekers in their countries. And this is not a very positive example when Iraq’s neighbours have much greater numbers, and have been much more generous and welcoming.” Dashty Jamal told IRIN on 28 September that a number of Iraqis in the UK had received tickets for a flight back to Iraq on 6 October, and that a demonstration was being planned that day outside the Iraqi embassy in London to protest at the way returnees are treated when they get to Baghdad. <table style="margin: 5px;

The centre will be opened on a ceremony May 13 attended by the governor of Dara’a and the Danish ambassador. The ceremony will mark the second step in a plan to expand the response of the Danish Refugee Council (DRC) to Iraqi refugees residing outside Damascus and support the Syrian Arab Red Crescent (SARC) in the assistance it provides to refugees and Syrian vulnerable families in areas far from the capital city where the international aid remains concentrated. DRC has been providing educational, vocational training and community services support to Iraqi refugees in Damascus since early 2008. Those services have, since late 2009, been expanded to the countryside cities of Homs and Dara’a. <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120516155808/http://www.reliefweb.int/rw/rwb.nsf/db900SID/MYAI-85F3PP?OpenDocument" class="external" target="_blank">read in full</a>: </blockquote> <h3 style="color: #800000">Politics and Security</h3> Baghdad recount completed, ‘no fraud’ | Radio Netherlands Worldwide: <blockquote> A manual recount of votes in Baghdad has been completed and no instances of fraud were found there from the March election, electoral commission spokesman Qassim al-Abboudi said on Friday.

The spokesman for Iraq’s Kurdish region criticized the Obama administration Thursday in Washington for not doing enough to end the current political impasse and urged American officials to embark on "intense shuttle diplomacy" between the deadlocked political parties. Qubad Talabani, who represents the Kurdish regional government in northern Iraq, said U.S. officials in Iraq have had limited involvement in efforts by political parties to form a government in the two months since the inconclusive national elections in March. Talabani said the Obama administration appeared determined to avoid the perception that it is "trying to concoct a democratic Iraq." But, he said, the U.S. must "look out for its interests" to ensure the country has a stable, democratic government. "It would be a shame to see an undemocratic government, after all the sacrifices," Talabani said in an interview after an appearance at the Nixon Center think tank in Washington. <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120516155808/http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/washingtondc/la-fg-us-iraq-20100514,0,7083755,print.story" class="external" target="_blank">read in full</a>: </blockquote> Iraq’s new al-Qaida leader vows to continue deadly attacks: Xinhua <blockquote> BAGHDAD, May 14 (Xinhua) — Iraqi al-Qaida group has nominated its new leader called "minister of war" and vowed to continue deadly attacks with "dark days in blood color," said a statement posted on a militant website on Friday. The so-called "minister of war" of the Islamic State of Iraq was identified as al-Nasser Lideen Allah Abu Suleiman and he will replace Abu Ayyub al-Musri, who was killed in a military operation by Iraqi and U.S. forces last month. <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120516155808/http://news.xinhuanet.com/english2010/world/2010-05/14/c_13295134.htm" class="external" target="_blank">read in full</a>: Xinhua </blockquote> Al Jazeera English – Middle East – Blast hits Iraq football match: <blockquote>Suicide bombers have struck a football match in northern Iraq, leaving at least 25 people dead and many more wounded. The blast targeted a game taking place on Friday in the town of Tal Afar, around 60km west of the city of Mosul. A local police official said a car bomb exploded at about 6pm local time (1500GMT) near a crowd of spectators. As people fled the scene of the first blast, two more bombers activated explosive belts in the crowd, the sources said. Local hospital officials put the number of injured at 125. "Many people were gathered to watch the match," Hussein Nashad, who witnessed the attack, told the AFP news agency. "We heard a loud explosion and the people behind me shielded me from the shrapnel. "I ran away, but then I heard someone shout ‘Allahu-akbar’ [God is greatest], and then there was another explosion," Nashad added, speaking from hospital where he was being treated for shock. <h4>‘Dark days’</h4> Many of the wounded were taken by ambulance to Dahuk, 95km away, because local hospitals were unable to cope with the influx of wounded spectators. Tal Afar is a predominantly Shia Turkomen town and has been a regular target for suicide bombers in the past. The attacks follow blasts in the city last October and July that left dozens of people dead. In March 2007, 152 people were killed when truck bombs targeted markets in the town. <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120516155808/http://english.aljazeera.net/news/middleeast/2010/05/2010514161932327374.html" class="external" target="_blank">read in full</a>: </blockquote> Blast targeting Shiite mosque leaves 18 injured in Iraq – Monsters and Critics: <blockquote>Hilla, Iraq – At least 18 people were injured by an explosive device that went off after Friday prayers in Hilla, a police source said.

The guard was released unharmed Friday evening, said Brigadier General Ahmed Gharib, head of Iraq’s border guards in Iraq’s northern Kurdish province of Sulaimaniya. "It was a misunderstanding. It’s not the first time it has happened," Gharib said. Officials said Iranian troops fired into the air after mistaking the Iraqis for rebels Thursday.

Last year grain production declined drastically in the country due to severe drought. The drop in yields turned Iraq into one of the world’s largest wheat importers. Last year’s wheat produce was in the range of 1 million tons while Iraq’s needs are estimated at more than 4 million tons. Iraq’s wheat imports just from the U.S. cost the treasury up to $1.4 billion last year. Iraq’s reliance on food imports has increased and widened. The country currently imports vegetables and fruits as well as grains, meat, chicken, legumes, sugar and tea. <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120516155808/http://www.azzaman.com/english/index.asp?fname=news%5C2010-05-14%5Ckurd.htm" class="external" target="_blank">source</a>: </blockquote> <h3 style="color: #800000">Commentary and Analysis</h3> Mosque & State: by Nikolas K.

Gvosdev, a senior editor at The National Interest, is a professor of national-security studies at the U.S. Naval War College. The views expressed are entirely his own </div> The accord signed in recent weeks between the two leading Iraqi Shiite political blocs—the Iraqi National Alliance and the State of Law party—has not only cleared the way for a new government to be formed in Iraq, but also, for the first time, has explicitly guaranteed a role for the senior Shiite clergy. Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani has been named as the final, binding arbiter for any disputes among the members of the governing coalition. “The marjaiya [the assembly of the most senior ayatollahs] has the final say in solving all the disputes between the two sides and its directives and guidance are binding,” the agreement states. Seven years after the fall of Saddam Hussein, the Shiite clergy, who already exercised a great deal of behind-the-scenes influence over the political process, have now been given a more public role. True, this is not a constitutional mandate; the clerics have no formal power to interfere with government policy. And if the current Shiite coalition should dissolve (or lose power in subsequent elections), the agreement would not be binding on future governments. Nevertheless, this development is quite at odds with the vision of a secular Iraq that many Americans believed would be created in the wake of Hussein’s ouster. However, Iraq is not on the verge of being transformed into an Arab version of Iran’s Islamic Republic. Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini’s novel innovation—creating a clerical “guardian” to oversee the state (velayat-e faqih) as an Islamic version of Plato’s philosopher-king—was rejected by the Shiite clergy of Iraq. <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120516155808/http://www.nationalinterest.org/PrinterFriendly.aspx?id=23400" class="external" target="_blank">read in full</a>: </blockquote> Saturday Profile – Hadi al-Mahdi, a Strident Political Voice on Iraqi Radio – NYTimes.com: <blockquote>HADI AL-MAHDI, a man you might call the Rush Limbaugh of Iraq, bounded up the stairs to a radio studio in a converted villa beside the Tigris River. “Today,” he said, with impish determination, “we are going to defend the Sunnis.” For the next hour Mr. Mahdi, a Shiite married to a Kurd, did just that. In a sonorous, sarcastic voice, he ridiculed the murky process that disqualified Sunni candidates in Iraq’s recent elections as an assault on the multiethnic, multifaith democracy Iraq is supposed to be creating. As the sun set on another dusty Baghdad evening rush, he condemned not only the man behind the disqualifications (“He’s illiterate.”) but also Prime Minister Nuri Kamal al-Maliki (“Is there glue in your chair?”), Mr. Maliki’s main challenger in the election, Ayad Allawi; the ministers of education and electricity, “this dirty Parliament” and the rest of Iraqi officialdom “living in the Green Zone, while your family is living abroad.” “Who is going to die? Your son?” Mr. Mahdi’s program — “To Whoever Listens” on Radio Demozy, FM 104.1 — is a thrice-weekly, populist jeremiad of all that is wrong with Iraq’s fledgling democracy, and one measure of what the overthrow of Saddam Hussein has done for it. His is not the only radio talk show in Iraq, but it is arguably the most breathtaking exercise of free speech in a place where its limits are still being established. It is, by some accounts, one of the most popular programs on the air in Baghdad. It is, without question, immensely entertaining. <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120516155808/http://www.nytimes.com/2010/05/15/world/middleeast/15mahdi.html?partner=rss&emc=rss&pagewanted=all" class="external" target="_blank">read in full</a>: </blockquote> </div> </div> <hr/> <div class="post clearfix" id="post-6200"> <div class="postmetadata"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120516155808/http://gorillasguides.com/2009/05/16/one-million-vaccines-airlifted-into-iraq-to-curb-measles-outbreak/#respond" title="Comment on One million vaccines airlifted into Iraq to curb measles outbreak">No Comments</a> Posted on May 16th, 2009 by Editors</div> <h3><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120516155808/http://gorillasguides.com/2009/05/16/one-million-vaccines-airlifted-into-iraq-to-curb-measles-outbreak/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to One million vaccines airlifted into Iraq to curb measles outbreak">One million vaccines airlifted into Iraq to curb measles outbreak</a></h3> Category: <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120516155808/http://gorillasguides.com/category/english-articles/" title="View all posts in English Language Articles" rel="category tag">English Language Articles</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120516155808/http://gorillasguides.com/category/health-crisis-iraq/" title="View all posts in Health" rel="category tag">Health</a>, Tags: <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120516155808/http://gorillasguides.com/tag/child-health/" rel="tag">Child health</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120516155808/http://gorillasguides.com/tag/dahuk/" rel="tag">Dahuk</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120516155808/http://gorillasguides.com/tag/erbil/" rel="tag">Erbil</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120516155808/http://gorillasguides.com/tag/measles/" rel="tag">Measles</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120516155808/http://gorillasguides.com/tag/measles-outbreak-child-deaths/" rel="tag">Measles outbreak - child deaths</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120516155808/http://gorillasguides.com/tag/sulaymaniyah/" rel="tag">Sulaymaniyah</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120516155808/http://gorillasguides.com/tag/unicef/" rel="tag">UNICEF</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120516155808/http://gorillasguides.com/tag/vaccination/" rel="tag">vaccination</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120516155808/http://gorillasguides.com/tag/vaccination-campaigns/" rel="tag">Vaccination campaigns</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120516155808/http://gorillasguides.com/tag/who/" rel="tag">WHO</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120516155808/http://gorillasguides.com/tag/%d8%a7%d9%84%d8%ad%d8%b5%d8%a8%d8%a9/" rel="tag">الحصبة</a> <div class="entry" dir="rtl" align="right"> Baghdad, 16 May, 2009. Today, one million doses of measles vaccines arrived by plane into Baghdad. The vaccines will be used by the Ministry of Health, WHO, and UNICEF in an emergency vaccination campaign to prevent the spread of a major measles outbreak in the country. "These vaccines have arrived at a critical time as the already severe outbreak is starting to gain ground in the remaining unaffected areas of the country" noted Sikander Khan, UNICEF Iraq Representative. "With the vaccines hundreds of thousands of children’s lives will be protected from the disease thus contributing to Iraq’s efforts to achieve the millennium development goal of reducing child mortality by two thirds by 2015." Starting on May 24th and lasting two weeks the vaccines will be provided by two thousand health workers and voluntary vaccinators in the Sulaymaniyah, Erbil, and Dahuk governorates. The health workers and vaccinators, in spite of security risks, will hand-carry the vaccines from house-to-house to vaccinate around 835,000 under-five children. The current number of cases in Iraq is nearly three times more than in all of 2008. Since the beginning of the year, over 22,000 children have been infected with around 1,000 cases continuing to be recorded every week. At the end of March ninety-three children had perished. The rise is due to the increasing low immunity of the population that has resulted from reduced coverage of routine vaccinations from 2005-2008 due to insecurity. "These vaccines procured with funds from the UN Central Emergency Response Fund are essential to mitigating the effects of the outbreak on Iraqi children" stated Dr. Naeema Al-Gasseer, Representative of the World Health Organization (WHO) in Iraq. "Measles is a highly infectious childhood disease that in addition to being fatal can lead to permanent brain damage, blindness and immune system deficiencies as well as worsen other common childhood illnesses such as diarrhea and pneumonia." The Ministry of Health, with WHO and UNICEF support, is currently completing an emergency campaign in the Najaf governorate to prevent the outbreak from spreading there and continues its efforts in all other governorates to limit the disease’s further propagation. <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120516155808/http://www.reliefweb.int/rw/rwb.nsf/db900SID/RMOI-7S4HTY?OpenDocument"
