Towards the end of 2003 and 2004, Iraq became the battle ground and regional arm conflict to settle scores with different factions. Insurgents bombed the Holy Shrines in Sammarra in March 2006. This attack ignited sectarian and ethnic arms conflict throughout Iraq on a scale never seen before. Thousands of Shiites had fled Sunni areas and vice versa. Christians also fled from Sunni areas to Kurdistan. These recent events, in addition to decades of severe oppression and sanctions fractured the integrity of the civil order and society in Iraq. Recently in Kurdistan, the safe haven for many Iraqis became involved in armed conflict too. Both the Iranians and Turkish military were bombarding the border villages with artillery shells for days and weeks. Thousands of villagers left their homes and migrated inland for fear of their lives thus compounding the refugee problems in Kurdistan. The Oxfam Organization reported that there are eight million Iraqis in need of urgent help. This number constitutes one third of the population in Iraq.

  • The Economic Costs and Consequences of Desertification in Iraq
    Global Journal of Political Science and Administration Vol.1, No.1, pp. 40-45, September 2013 Published by European Centre for Research Training and Development UK (www.ea-journals.org) THE ECONOMIC COSTS AND CONSEQUENCES OF DESERTIFICATION IN IRAQ Abdul Ghafoor Ahmad Al – Saidi a, Siham Kamil Al-Jumaiali b aPrincess Sumaya University for T, Amman, Jordan bColumbia University Middle East research center ABSTRACT: This paper focuses on the problem of desertification which Iraq is facing, and which is threatening its food security and affecting its social and economic development. The degrees of desertification have increased to the point where it affects %75 of the total land space of Iraq, and particularly the arable areas. This is due to several causes; some of it is caused by natural circumstances, while others are due to human activities which led to the salinization of the soil, deterioration of the plant cover and formation of sand dunes. This intensified the economic consequences in Iraq, and led to reduce of productivity. The state is burdened with large amounts of money in the reclamation of the deteriorated lands. The immigration from rural areas to cities has increased, poverty has spread and unemployment is rife. It also caused the extinction of many plant and animal species in the period 1990 – 2010. This paper indicates that the cost of combating desertification is around 10.3 – 20.5 billion dollars. This is a huge cost which affects the present and future economic situation that leads to decreases the generations in development and progress . KEYWORDS: Desertification, Economic Costs, Salinization, Iraq .
