    OVERVIEW This Past Week Has Seen Increased Violence Throughout the Country

    IRAQ UNITED NATIONS SITUATION REPORT 13 September – 19 September 2004 OVERVIEW This past week has seen increased violence throughout the country. The Multi-National Force (MNF-I) and government forces battled insurgents in Falluja, Sadr City in Baghdad, and elsewhere throughout the country. The evolving situation in northern Iraq and Kirkuk, specifically, is causing growing concerns that the condition could quickly deteriorate amid increased tensions between various ethnic groups. On Saturday, a car bomb detonated in front of the Iraqi National Guard headquarters in Kirkuk. Kidnappings continue as two Americans and a Briton were seized from their home in Baghdad on Monday. Some non- governmental organisations (NGOs) are reviewing their operational modalities, due to the increase in abductions and the deteriorating security situation. Despite overwhelming challenges, Iraqi Airways resumed international flights for the first time in 14 years and will be providing flights to neighbouring Syria and Jordan twice a week. UNITED NATIONS The Special Representative to the Secretary General (SRSG) Ashraf Qazi addressed the Security Council on 14 September stating, “My brief introductory stay in Baghdad has convinced me that the people of Iraq desperately want peace and to be masters in their own country. They have the talent and the will to peaceably persevere on the path towards these objectives. They see an effective UN role as critical to the realization of their hopes.” HUMANITARIAN The Deputy Special Representative to the Secretary General (DSRSG) travelled to New York to meet with key UN departments and agencies concerned with Iraq. He briefed UN Development Group (UNDG) members regarding preparations for the upcoming Donor’s Conference in Tokyo, Japan, as well as the situation during his recent mission to Iraq.
