أن تطبق، حيال هذا الأمر الإجراءات القانونية وفقا للمبادئ المنصوص عليها في الدستور العراقي. <br/>وتعد مفوضية الانتخابات من الهيئات العراقية المستقلة وتتبع مجلس النواب مباشرة، والأخير اختار أعضاء مجلس

align="right"> <blockquote><p>The United Nations Assistance Mission in Iraq has expressed concern over the recent incidents that took place in northeast Iraq’s Camp Ashraf that hosts the Iranian opposition group Mujahideen-e-Khalq (MEK) refugees. <br/>“UNAMI has been on continuous contact with the Iraqi authorities regarding the incidents in Camp Ashraf on April 7-8,” according to a UNAMI press release as received by Aswat al-Iraq news agency. <br/>The statement reiterated the need to continue helping the Iraqi government find a solution to the issue based on the international human rights law. <br/>It pointed out that UNAMI, after a visit to observe the conditions in Camp Ashraf on Wednesday, April 13, had held a meeting with the Iraqi authorities to inform them about the outcome of the death of 34 persons and the injury of dozens others. <br/>It noted that UNAMI had over and again demanded the Iraqi government to refrain from using force, hoping that a fact-finding committee formed by the Iraqi government would be independent and start its work immediately. <br/>MEK has been based in Camp Ashraf in Diala province, 57 km northeast of Baghdad, since 1980s during the eight-year-long Iran-Iraq war. <br/>Several politicians within the Iraqi government have been striving to drive the organization out of the Iraqi territories, claiming that the MEK fighters took part in suppressing the Shiite uprising that broke out in southern Iraq after the second Gulf War in 1991 against the former regime. <br/>UNAMI also expressed readiness to furnish accurate information about the outcome of its visit to Camp Ashraf and to continue helping the Iraqi government to look for a stable solution for the problems in the Camp. <br/>Iraq’s Minister of State and the Spokesman of the Iraqi Government, Ali Al-Dabbagh, had stated on 8/4/2011 that the Iraqi security forces, in charge of protecting Camp Ashraf imposed security and order, after an attack by MEK elements, who pelted the Iraqi security forces with stones, wounding five of them and causing chaos.</p> </blockquote> <p><strong>Source:</strong> <a

العالمي لمساندة ضحايا التعذيب دعت الامم المتحدة الحكومة العراقية إلى المصادقة على اتفاقية مناهضة التعذيب في "أقرب وقت ممكن" والتقيد بمبادئها. <br/>ونقل بيان للمنظمة الدولية عن الممثل الخاص للأمين العام للأمم المتحدة في العراق آد ملكيرت قوله ان العراق قطع اشواطا كبيرة فيما يتعلق بالإعتراف بحقوق الإنسان كأولوية لبناء دولة ديمقراطية تحمي وتحفظ كرامة الإنسان، غير أنه ما زال هناك الكثير من العمل الذي يجب القيام به في هذا المجال. <br/>ودعا ملكيرت الحكومة العراقية حسب البيان لتكثيف رصد إدعاءات سوء معاملة وتعذيب المعتقلين والسجناء والتحقيق فيها . <br/>كما ناشد الحكومة ضمان المحاسبة القانونية للمسؤولين عن هذه الجرائم وإحالتهم على القضاء . <br/>وكانت الجمعية العامة للأمم المتحدة قد أقرّت إتفاقية مناهضة التعذيب وغيره من ضروب المعاملة أو العقوبة القاسية اللاإنسانية أو المهينة في 10 كانون الأول 1984 (قرار 39/46)، ودخلت الإتفاقية حيز التنفيذ في 26 حزيران 1987. واعتُبرت الإتفاقية بمثابة خطوة هامة للإقرار أن التعذيب وغيره من ضروب المعاملة أو العقوبة القاسية اللاإنسانية أو المهينة هي أفعال غير مشروعة على الاطلاق على المستوى الدولي ،وتلزم الإتفاقية الدول بتجريم التعذيب وبمقاضاة ومعاقبة المذنبين بارتكاب هذا الجرم وتشير الإتفاقية صراحةً إلى أن الأوامر العليا والظروف الإستثنائية لا تشكل مبرراً للتعذيب .</p> </div> </div> <hr/> <div class="post clearfix" id="post-10810"> <div class="postmetadata"><span class="comments"><a

It has the very boring sounding title of <cite>"<a title="UN brings religious, ethnic communities to the discussion table in northern Iraq" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120424174515/http://www.un.org/apps/news/story.asp?NewsID=34857&Cr=iraq&Cr1=" class="external" target="_blank">UN brings religious, ethnic communities to the discussion table in northern Iraq</a>"</cite>  but in fact this is a genuinely exciting development. The situation in Ninawa, especially in Mosul, and in the Nineveh plain is complex, violent, and very discouraging. Briefly put there are two nationalisms Arab and Kurdish contending for control, each side suffers but who suffers particularly badly are ethnic minorities caught in the crossfire such as the Yezhidi and Shabaki, and religious minorities such as the Christians. The <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120424174515/http://gorillasguides.com/tag/ethnic-cleansing-of-christians/">Christians have suffered especially badly</a>. A lot of very hard and often dangerous "sherpa" work has gone into producing a situation where representatives of every community and body met in Tal Kaif last Thursday. </p> <p>This hard and often dangerous work has been done by local community leaders, polticians, academics, some foreigners who know and love the city, Red Crescent people, and many many members of local human rights bodies.  (The UN got involved relatively late on into the process and became involved only when they were sure that their participation would provide momentum). Getting to this point where people  met and discussed in a group how to move forward and bring peace to a part of Irak that desperately needs was desperately slow, delicate, and wearing. And will remain so. And yet, and yet, and yet, despite all the mistrust and all the fear and all the setbacks there is now just the tiniest glimmer of hope in Mosul.</p> <p style="padding-bottom: 1em; border-bottom: gray 1px solid">Maryam</p> <blockquote><p>Security concerns and human rights topped a United Nations-backed discussion among the religious and ethnic communities of the northern Iraqi governorate of Ninewa. </p> <p>Participants at the meeting which took place on 27 May included representatives of the Christian, Shabak, Turkoman and Yazidi communities, as well of the Ninewa administration, the Kurdistan Regional Government and the Iraqi Government. </p> <p>The UN Assistance Mission for Iraq (<a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120424174515/http://www.uniraq.org/" class="external" target="_blank">UNAMI</a>) chaired the talks – the first-ever meeting of the Committee on Ethnic and Religious Communities in Ninewa – in the city of Tilkaef. </p> <p>Also among the topics discussed during the gathering where the representation of Ninewa’s various communities in Iraq’s security forces. </p> <p>The UNAMI meeting marked an important first step for further dialogue and action, said Jerzy Skuratowicz, the Secretary-General’s Deputy Special Representative. “While each of the components has its unique and distinct ethnic, cultural and religious heritage that must be preserved, it is also apparent that they all share many common concerns, which need to be addressed.” </p> </blockquote> <p><strong>Source:</strong> UN News Centre |  <a

Though the country is well positioned to generate vast sums of revenue from its oil, it will take many years before the government is able to rebuild the country’s infrastructure and provide basic services to its people. Ongoing political and security concerns continue to challenge development efforts. It is thus critical that the U.S. and other donors continue to support a strong and expanded humanitarian program, working hand-in-hand with a variety of community development initiatives. </p> </p> <h3>Iraqis Living as Squatters in Slums </h3> <p>UNHCR estimates that of the 1.5 million internally displaced people (IDPs) forced from their homes in 2006 and 2007, 33% or 500,000 live as squatters in slum areas. Refugees International visited about 20 different squatter settlements in various parts of Baghdad, Diyala, and Salah al-Din. These people have no legal title to the land. Many fear returning to their original homes. Most are too poor to relocate. The settlements all lack basic services, including water, sanitation, and electricity and are built in precarious places—under bridges, alongside railroad tracks, and amongst garbage dumps. In 2009 the Iraqi Government issued a directive calling upon all squatters to vacate public buildings. This directive has since been postponed, but they all remain at risk of eviction. UNHCR will have to liaise closely with other UN agencies and international and national NGOs to provide assistance to these communities and to urge the Government of Iraq to create programs of land grants and housing for these people. </p> <p>Refugees International met several Iraqis who left Syria, because they could no longer afford to live there, and are now living as internally displaced squatters in these slum areas. As one squatter told the RI team, “We used to own a home in Abu Ghraib. Now we have lost everything. It is too dangerous for us to return there, so we are living here, hoping that the government will give us a small piece of land.” </p> <p>These families are among the most vulnerable in Iraq. Most have not received assistance from the government, UN agencies, or NGOs. Since they live illegally, the government is reluctant to improve their living conditions and address their basic needs. UNHCR is aware of many of these squatter settlements and is in the process of conducting a more comprehensive survey of them. The International Organization for Migration (IOM) also has a list of the settlements in which the internally displaced live. IOM and UNHCR should work together to develop a single, comprehensive list so that humanitarian interventions can be targeted and coordinated. </p> <p>If UNHCR is going to have any impact addressing the needs of these especially vulnerable displaced people and the larger communities, they will have to dramatically increase the number of UNHCR staff people with the responsibility of reaching out to them. For those at risk of eviction in the near future, the UN should work closely with the Government of Iraq to begin to devise a contingency plan. As outlined in Iraq’s July 2008 National Policy on Displacement, displaced people and host communities should be involved in planning, designing and implementing appropriate strategies and programs concerning their return, integration or relocation. </p> <h3>Increasing Humanitarian Access in Iraq </h3> <p>On the one hand the U.S., the UN, and the entire international community often champion the considerable security progress inside Iraq. On the other hand, these same entities continue to be extremely constrained by highly restrictive security protocols. These protocols no longer reflect the realities in the country, and the lack of access continues to severely hamper the humanitarian response of the UN and the U.S. The zero-risk mentality of the burgeoning security industry has hijacked more rational and creative thinking that might help guarantee staff safety while allowing for greater mobility in a more low-profile manner. </p> <p>The UN Department for Safety and Security and the Resident Security Officers for the U.S. must adapt their security protocols to the new and changing realities and allow greater access for humanitarian workers. The northern and southern governorates of Iraq are widely recognized as being safe. Many parts of the central governorates can also be accessed daily for field visits. Refugees International staff was able to travel alone without security escorts throughout most of Baghdad and multiple locations within Diyala, Salah al-Din and Babel. Iraqis of all types and backgrounds interviewed by Refugees International expressed a strong desire to see the UN and international actors return and fully function in the country. </p> <p>Currently the U.S. government and the UN are completely dependent upon the U.S. military to provide access outside of the international zone. Access to Iraqi communities occurs irregularly and in a very limited fashion. Plans have to be made months in advance to coordinate trips. This already limited access will be further reduced with the impending U.S. military withdrawal. </p> <p>Furthermore, the United Nations Assistance Mission in Iraq (UNAMI), led by the Department of Political Affairs (DPA), often does not prioritize humanitarian issues. They tend to take a back seat to UNAMI’s political agenda. Political affairs officials are often given priority over humanitarian actors when it comes to dividing the limited number of slots available for staff to travel outside of the international zone. </p> <p>While international UN staff and diplomatic missions have limited access to Iraqi communities, an increasing number of international NGOs are accessing vulnerable Iraqis in Baghdad and other parts of the country. There is also a plethora of Iraqi NGOs who are making significant humanitarian contributions, without which much of the work could not take place. UNHCR’s efforts to enhance the capacity of over 100 national NGOs should be supported. </p> <h3>Returns and the Prospects for Local Integration </h3> <p>Though the Government of Iraq, the U.S., and other governments continue to push for displaced people to return home, much of the current displacement is likely to be permanent. UNHCR estimates that only 426,000 people have returned, the overwhelming majority of whom were internally displaced people. People will continue to return home, but only at a trickle. Lack of security and jobs continues to be a strong deterrent. Others are simply too traumatized to return to their places of origin. Long-term solutions must be found for these people. </p> <p>If given the option, IOM estimates that 25% of IDPs would be interested in local integration. This would be an important step forward in the protection of some IDPs, as they would then presumably be granted residency cards reflecting their new place of habitual residence. Such cards would allow them full and fair access to all services at the local and governorate level. They would be able to vote like other Iraqis in future elections, attend schools without facing discrimination, and seek employment without impediments. The U.S. and international community should urge the Government of Iraq to create a process for IDPs to voluntarily integrate locally if they so choose. </p> <p>Those wishing to return to their original homes and lands, but who are unwilling or unable to do so at this time, should continue to be afforded this opportunity when the conditions warrant safe and voluntary returns. Efforts to ensure that such people are able to retrieve their properties should continue to be made. This includes urging the Government of Iraq to expand its property restitution mechanism to all of the governorates and to ensure that those displaced between 2003 and 2005 are also provided a mechanism to reclaim or be compensated for their lost properties. The Iraqi government should at least quadruple the $850 return compensation grant currently available.</p> <p>Although few people have returned home, the Government of Iraq, the UN, and several donors have supported a successful return and reintegration program in the Governorate of Diyala, a place that suffered some of the most severe violence and the displacement of some 300,000 individuals. The objective is to support the voluntary return and reintegration of at least 27,500 families while rebuilding their communities. Assistance has been provided to both returnees and local residents in the understanding that communities as a whole must be engaged if resentments are to be avoided and returns sustained. Targeting some 400 largely destroyed villages, the project aims to provide urgent life-saving services and rebuild homes, infrastructure, and livelihoods. </p> <p>The Government of Iraq has pledged some $78 million dollars for reconstruction of destroyed homes, but the disbursement of these funds is lagging. Despite this, 3,000 starter homes have been constructed with 6,000 more planned for 2010 if funding is made available. </p> <p>The success of this initiative stems in part from the strong political commitment and financial pledge from the central government, the coordination and participation of most of the UN agencies and many international and national NGOs, and the strong support of the local authorities and communities. It is also successful because humanitarian actors are able to work closely with development actors, ensuring that the returns and the rebuilding of communities are long-term and sustainable. When Refugees International visited the project in villages near Khan Bani Saad, it was a rare but positive example of long-term development efforts working hand-in-hand with humanitarian intervention, benefitting a much larger number of people than those directly targeted for assistance. This model is successful and could be replicated in other parts of Iraq, but it is very costly. Donors should be willing to support these efforts. </p> <h3>Protecting Refugees in Syria </h3> <p>Most Iraqi refugees in Syria have benefited from generous government policies and hospitable neighbors. The government’s recent efforts to extend residency permits for six months, their commitment to issue some work permits, and their engagement in drafting legislation that will address the presence of Iraqis in Syria are all positive steps that help to advance the protection of refugees. </p> <p>Still, the overall situation for Iraqi refugees continues to deteriorate. It is therefore essential that the U.S. and other donors maintain their humanitarian commitment to this increasingly protracted refugee caseload. There are approximately 3,000 new individuals registering for refugee status each month. Most are unable to work. Families continue to be torn apart as men seek employment opportunities outside of Syria. Rents continue to increase. Families are forced to move in together and share small apartments. This year there are 30% fewer Iraqi children enrolled in school. In some cases the costs of books and school uniforms are prohibitive for families. There has been an increase in detention and deportation, due in part to petty crime and prostitution. Opportunities for local integration have not materialized, and the majority of refugees have no plans to return. While most refugees dream of third country resettlement, this solution will not be afforded to most of the 218,000 refugees currently registered with UNHCR. </p> <p>Almost 13,000 vulnerable Iraqi families now receive cash assistance in the amount of approximately $150 every month (plus $15 per dependent) through the use of ATM cards. This creative program is efficient, effective and dignified—and a preferred form of assistance for most refugees. The ATM card system has an overhead of approximately 2.3%, whereas the overhead cost for assistance distributed through partner agencies can be as high as 23%. In urban contexts like Damascus, cash assistance cuts down on otherwise costly outreach and distribution efforts. Without more funding, UNHCR will be forced to scale back this life-saving program. </p> <p>Similarly, refugees with chronic but treatable illnesses like diabetes and cancer are at risk of losing UNHCR’s support due to funding shortfalls. Thousands of refugees’ lives will be at stake if UNHCR and its partners are no longer able to help subsidize tertiary health care. </p> <p>The World Food Program has also responded to the particular needs of delivering assistance in an urban environment through a recently introduced pilot program. Each family receives a SMS text message on his or her mobile phone with the voucher number and the amount of the entitlement. Families are then able to redeem the voucher for food from a list of nine items in any one of the selected stores participating in the program. Such a program directly benefits the local and national economy and supports Syrian-run markets. Refugees feel empowered to make their own food selections. Overhead costs are drastically reduced. This innovative model should be expanded in Syria and replicated in other parts of the world. </p> <p>While these two innovative programs should be strengthened, more emphasis needs to be placed on skills training so that refugees are able to become self-sufficient. Information technology programs are particularly useful, as they have utility in resettlement countries, the country of asylum, and the country of origin. </p> <p>Today, UNHCR has one of the most sophisticated and accurate registration systems in the world operating in Syria. The numbers of refugees registered with UNHCR as well as the needs of many of the most vulnerable are well known. Donors have not been able to even meet the needs of registered refugees let alone those who choose not to register. The U.S. especially has a special responsibility to help host governments ensure that the basic assistance and protection needs of this population continue to be met until durable solutions are readily available. </p> <h3><b>Refugees in Iraq Need Durable Solutions</b> </h3> <p>There are some 35,000 refugees in Iraq. One of the largest and most vulnerable populations is the stateless Palestinians. Though successful efforts have been made to resettle Palestinians from three border camps, the needs of those in Damascus, Al Hol Refugee Camp in Syria and Baghdad must be urgently addressed. Unlike Iraqis, Palestinian refugees from Iraq have been denied access to asylum in neighboring countries and subjected to forced encampment. In Baghdad they continue to be subjected to arbitrary arrest and detention, raids by the police and army, and armed violence. Their recently issued identification documents are noticeably different from Iraqi documents, making them easy targets at checkpoints. Most Palestinians attempt to acquire Iraqi documentation, and the men regularly travel with women to help protect them against arbitrary arrest and detention. Hiding their Palestinian identity is a matter of survival for these refugees. </p> <p>At the start of the war in 2003 there were an estimated 35,000 Palestinian refugees in Baghdad. Today there are only 11,000. Left behind are the elderly, the disabled, and some of the most destitute families. Even if they attempted to flee, there is nowhere for them to run—the Jordanian and Syrian borders are closed to them and UNHCR actively turns away Palestinians attempting to flee to Al Waleed Camp on the border. </p> <p>Many of the families are in need of urgent assistance. UNHCR needs to conduct a full assessment of this population and develop criteria for resettlement. In Syria UNHCR needs to immediately refer Palestinian cases in Damascus for resettlement and continue resettlement out of Al Hol Camp. </p> <h3><b>Conclusion</b> </h3> <p>As the U.S. continues to draw down its military forces and eventually end its occupation in Iraq, the U.S. and other donors must increase their humanitarian and development assistance and commitment to finding long-term solutions for displaced Iraqis. Millions of people are still displaced without access to shelter, food, health care or other basics. It is too soon for the U.S. government and other donors to abandon the needs of the Iraqi people. Likewise, the UN must seek to increase its presence and resources inside the country and throughout the region, ensuring that Iraq’s most vulnerable are protected and assisted until durable solutions are available. </p> </p> <p><em>Refugees International Senior Advocate Elizabeth Campbell and consultant Nir Rosen assessed the situation for displaced Iraqis in Iraq and Syria in February 2010.</em> </p> </p> <p><strong>Source:</strong> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120424174515/http://www.refugeesinternational.org/policy/field-report/iraq-humanitarian-needs-persist" class="external" target="_blank">Iraq: Humanitarian Needs Persist</a> | <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120424174515/http://www.refugeesinternational.org/" target="_blank" class="external">Refugees International</a></p> </div> </div> <hr/> <div class="post clearfix" id="post-9031"> <div class="postmetadata"><span class="comments"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120424174515/http://gorillasguides.com/2010/03/09/iraqi-christians-fleeing-religious-violence-in-mosul-receive-un-support/#respond" title="Comment on Iraqi Christians fleeing religious violence in Mosul receive UN support">No Comments</a></span> Posted on March 9th, 2010 by Fatima Jameel</div> <h3><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120424174515/http://gorillasguides.com/2010/03/09/iraqi-christians-fleeing-religious-violence-in-mosul-receive-un-support/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to Iraqi Christians fleeing religious violence in Mosul receive UN support">Iraqi Christians fleeing religious violence in Mosul receive UN support</a></h3> <p class="postmetadata">Category: <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120424174515/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/20120424174515/http://gorillasguides.com/category/human-rights/" title="View all posts in Human Rights" rel="category tag">Human Rights</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120424174515/http://gorillasguides.com/category/religion/" title="View all posts in Religion" rel="category tag">Religion</a>, Tags: <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120424174515/http://gorillasguides.com/tag/christian-flight-from-mosul/" rel="tag">Christian flight from Mosul</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120424174515/http://gorillasguides.com/tag/christians/" rel="tag">Christians</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120424174515/http://gorillasguides.com/tag/ethnic-cleansing-of-christians/" rel="tag">Ethnic cleansing of Christians</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120424174515/http://gorillasguides.com/tag/hygiene-kits/" rel="tag">hygiene kits</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120424174515/http://gorillasguides.com/tag/idps-internal-refugees/" rel="tag">IDPs (Internal Refugees)</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120424174515/http://gorillasguides.com/tag/islamic-relief/" rel="tag">Islamic Relief</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120424174515/http://gorillasguides.com/tag/mosul/" rel="tag">Mosul</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120424174515/http://gorillasguides.com/tag/ocha/" rel="tag">OCHA</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120424174515/http://gorillasguides.com/tag/un/" rel="tag">U.N.</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120424174515/http://gorillasguides.com/tag/unami/" rel="tag">UNAMI</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120424174515/http://gorillasguides.com/tag/unhcr/" rel="tag">UNHCR</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120424174515/http://gorillasguides.com/tag/unicef/" rel="tag">UNICEF</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120424174515/http://gorillasguides.com/tag/%d8%a8%d8%a7%d9%84%d9%85%d8%b3%d9%8a%d8%ad%d9%8a%d9%8a%d9%86/" rel="tag">بالمسيحيين</a></p> <div class="entry" dir="rtl" align="right"> <blockquote><p>The United Nations and local authorities in northern Iraq are providing food, hygiene kits, kerosene and other humanitarian aid to hundreds of Christian families who fled their homes in the city of Mosul following targeted intimidation and violence. “Protection remains an ongoing concern for the Christian community as well as other vulnerable groups remaining in Mosul,” the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) reported yesterday. Fleeing families told OCHA that while many Muslim residents in Mosul had shown sympathy to the plight of the Christian community, continued threatening telephone calls and demands for bribes had caused them to flee. Some women interviewed by OCHA also said they felt pressured to wear the hijab, a veil worn by Muslim women, so as not to be identified as a Christian. The number of people displaced rose from 720 families or 4,320 people on 1 March to 866 families or 5,196 people just three days later. The World Food Programme (WFP), through its partner Islamic Relief, distributed 50 kilograms of wheat flour per family to 638 families in different locations in Ninewa governorate, which includes Mosul – Iraq’s second largest city. Additional families received food assistance through WFP’s programmes for internally displaced persons (IDPs) in the neighbouring Dahuk and Erbil governorates. The UN Children’s Fund (UNICEF), through it cooperating partner, International Medical Corps, has announced plans to conduct an awareness campaign on child protection for all IDPs in the areas of displacement. In addition, the Kurdistan Regional Government has issued directives to local universities to facilitate the enrolment of affected Christian students after they reported that they were not attending classes in their hometown. The humanitarian effort is overseen by the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), with support from OCHA, local Iraqi authorities, the UN Assistance Mission in Iraq (UNAMI) and other UN agencies.</p></blockquote> <p><strong>Source:</strong> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120424174515/http://www.un.org/apps/news/story.asp?NewsID=34022&Cr=&Cr1=" class="external" target="_blank">Iraqi Christians fleeing religious violence in Mosul receive UN support</a> | <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120424174515/http://www.un.org/news/" class="external" target="_blank">UN News Centre</a></p> </div> </div> <hr/> <div class="post clearfix" id="post-9012"> <div class="postmetadata"><span class="comments"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120424174515/http://gorillasguides.com/2010/03/09/iraq-idps-returning-to-diyala-province-in-increasing-numbers/#respond" title="Comment on IRAQ: IDPs returning to Diyala Province in increasing numbers">No Comments</a></span> Posted on March 9th, 2010 by Fatima Jameel</div> <h3><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120424174515/http://gorillasguides.com/2010/03/09/iraq-idps-returning-to-diyala-province-in-increasing-numbers/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to IRAQ: IDPs returning to Diyala Province in increasing numbers">IRAQ: IDPs returning to Diyala Province in increasing numbers</a></h3> <p class="postmetadata">Category: <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120424174515/http://gorillasguides.com/category/english-articles/" title="View all posts in English Language Articles" rel="category tag">English Language Articles</a>, Tags: <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120424174515/http://gorillasguides.com/tag/diyala/" rel="tag">Diyala</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120424174515/http://gorillasguides.com/tag/features/" rel="tag">Features</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120424174515/http://gorillasguides.com/tag/idps-internal-refugees/" rel="tag">IDPs (Internal Refugees)</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120424174515/http://gorillasguides.com/tag/irin/" rel="tag">IRIN</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120424174515/http://gorillasguides.com/tag/migration/" rel="tag">migration</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120424174515/http://gorillasguides.com/tag/returns-of-refugeesidps/" rel="tag">returns of refugees/IDPs</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120424174515/http://gorillasguides.com/tag/security-situation/" rel="tag">security situation</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120424174515/http://gorillasguides.com/tag/unami/" rel="tag">UNAMI</a></p> <div class="entry" dir="rtl" align="right"> <p>BAGHDAD, 9 March 2010 (<a title="IRIN" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120424174515/http://www.irinnews.org/report.aspx?ReportID=88363" class="external" target="_blank">IRIN</a>) – The security situation in Iraq’s northeastern province of Diyala is slowly improving and thousands of displaced families have returned to their homes, according to officials. </p> <p>"Despite the fact that the security situation in some parts of the province is not good, some areas where the security situation has improved are witnessing good return levels," said Thari Mohammed, a senior official in the Ministry of Displacement and Migration in Diyala. </p> <p>Mohammed said about 12,900 displaced families (roughly 77,000 individuals) had returned to their homes between late 2008 and 31 December 2009. A further 39,000 families were still displaced – 13,000 within the province and 26,000 in other provinces, Mohammed said. </p> <p>Some 12,500 families who had returned in the above time period had received the government’s one-off grant of one million Iraqi dinars (US$850) and other aid to help them resume their lives. The remaining 400 families were expected to receive this aid soon. His office had also helped people return to their former jobs. </p> <p>Diyala, sandwiched between Baghdad and the Iranian border, has been a major insurgent stronghold since the US-led invasion in 2003. In late 2008 Iraqi and US forces launched a crackdown, and the religiously mixed province witnessed fierce clashes. </p> <p>According to a <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120424174515/http://www.reliefweb.int/rw/rwb.nsf/db900SID/EGUA-82XRYK?OpenDocument ">23 February statement</a> from the UN Assistance Mission in Iraq (UNAMI), Diyala has the second highest number of internally displaced persons (IDPs) after Baghdad. Some 300,000 Diyala residents fled their homes after 2006. </p> <h3>To return or not to return? </h3> <p>Hasiba Jabir, a 54-year-old mother of six who fled the province in late 2007 with her family, is among those who have returned. She said financial difficulties had forced her to return. </p> <p>"At the beginning [of our displacement] we stayed at a relative’s house in Baghdad, but we couldn’t continue like that as the house was too small for two families, so we rented a small house for about $500 a month," said Jabir, who is a retired English teacher. </p> <p>"As of last July, my husband also retired and we lost a big chunk of our income and resources and therefore we decided to go back," she said. "Although there are sporadic attacks, the situation is better than in 2007 when we left." </p> <p>But Khalid Jalil Mohammed, another IDP from Diyala, is not convinced. </p> <p>"The security situation in the province is still not good enough for me and my family [to return]," said Mohammed, a barber who left his home in Diyala in early 2007. "I’m happy with my work here [in Baghdad] and my sisters and brothers are also happy with their schools and universities, and we do not need to put ourselves at risk," he said. </p> <p>Meanwhile, attacks in Diyala are still taking place: On 3 March three suicide bombers killed 32 and injured dozens of others, Diyala police spokesman Capt Ghalib al-Karkhi said. </p> <p>sm/at/cb</p> <p><a
