  • Q: It's September 23, 2008, and We're Talking to Lieutenant
    United States Institute of Peace Association for Diplomatic Studies and Training Iraq PRT Experience Project INTERVIEW #48 Interviewed by: Marilyn Greene Initial interview date: Sept.23, 2008 Copyright 2008 USIP & ADST Executive Summary Began work late 2007 with six-member PRT for Najaf, Karbala and Diwaniyah, located at the REO, Hillah. Later, the PRT split into three separate teams. Diwaniya moved to FOB Echo. Karbala and Najaf were able to go to their provinces, which were PIC provinces. These were the first two established in independently controlled provinces. Meant they were removed from Coalition Force presence. I was with Karbala PRT, located in Husseiniyah, adjacent to an Iraqi military compound, 13 kilometers from Karbala. Used contracted security escorts, either Blackwater or Triple Canopy. Another alternative was using DOD helicopters, which was preferred because it was simpler. PRT mission: expand governance capacity and efficacy; expand economic development; help in the equitable execution of the rule of law; expand central services capacity. Thought OPA worked OK, saw it as providing general direction and coordinating efforts of different PRTs. Especially appreciated their provision of excellent BBAs, plus good Justice and Agriculture people. OPA helped develop maturity models: where we are now, where we wanted to be in six months or 12 months, and what roadmap we would use to get from here to there, and what resources we would need to get there. Looking at the broad spectrum of PRTs all over Iraq, OPA would say ‘They’re doing very good in economic reform in Najaf, but I see in Karbala they’re having a hard time getting industrial expansion going, maybe we should get them additional resources to meet their goal.’ And that’s what I saw as OPA’s function.

  • Living in Mosul During the Time of ISIS and the Military Liberation: Results from a 40-Cluster Household Survey R
    Lafta et al. Conflict and Health (2018) 12:31 https://doi.org/10.1186/s13031-018-0167-8 RESEARCH Open Access Living in Mosul during the time of ISIS and the military liberation: results from a 40-cluster household survey R. Lafta1, V. Cetorelli2 and G. Burnham3* Abstract Background: In June 2014, an estimated 1500 fighters of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) seized control of Mosul, Iraq’s second city. Although many residents fled, others stayed behind, enduring the restrictive civil and social policies of ISIS. In December 2016, the military activity, known as the liberation campaign, began in east Mosul, concluding in west Mosul in June 2017. Methods: To assess life in Mosul under ISIS, and the consequences of the military campaign to retake Mosul we conducted a 40 cluster-30 household survey in Mosul, starting in March 2017. All households included were present in Mosul throughout the entire time of ISIS control and military action. Results: In June 2014, 915 of 1139 school-age children (80.3%) had been in school, but only 28 (2.2%) attended at least some school after ISIS seized control. This represented a decision of families. Injuries to women resulting from intimate partner violence were reported in 415 (34.5%) households. In the surveyed households, 819 marriages had occurred; 688 (84.0%) among women. Of these women, 89 (12.9%) were aged 15 years and less, and 253 (49.7%) were aged under 18 at the time of marriage. With Mosul economically damaged by ISIS control and physically during the Iraqi military action, there was little employment at the time of the survey, and few persons were bringing cash into households.

  • The Quarrel Between the Anti- and Pro-Constitutionalist Jurists in Iranian Constitutional Revolution of 1906
    religions Article Divine vs. Human Law: The Quarrel between the Anti- and Pro-Constitutionalist Jurists in Iranian Constitutional Revolution of 1906 Mehdi Mirabian Tabar Faculty of Philosophy, Philosophy of Science and Religious Studies, Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich, 80539 München, Germany; [email protected] Abstract: This study investigated the quarrel between the pro-and anti-constitutionalist jurists following the establishment of the first National Consultative Assembly (Majlis) in Iran and the drafting of the first constitution in 1906. A group of shi\ite jurists launched an attack on Majlis, in addition to the ideas of human legislation, freedom, and equality, by considering the Islamic Shar¯ı\a law to be a set of perfect and impeccable laws. In response to these oppositions, the pro-constitutional jurists argued in favor of the constitutional movement. In this paper, it is argued that the quarrel could be considered as evidence for the perennial tension between the divine and human law in Islam. It appears that examining this conflict may shed light on incidents shaping the history of contemporary Iran.

M "s/.-Oj Uni^ 0 2 t'S 2C06 THESIS 1 ABSTRACT The sad demise of Prophet Muhammad (SAW) (571- 622AD) created a vacuum in the Muslim Ummah. However, this vacuum was filled by the able guided and pious Khulafa {Khulafa-i-Rashidin) who ruled Ummah one after another. Except the first Khalifah, all the subsequent three Khulafa were unfortunately martyred either by their co-religionists or by antagonists. Though the assassination of Hazrat Umar (RA) did not create any sort of havoc in the Ummah, but the assassination of Hazrat Uthman (RA) caused a severe damage to the unity of Muslim Ummah. This was further aggravated by the internal dissentions caused by the assassination of the third Khalifah during the period of the fourth Khalifah, leading to some bloodshed of the Muslims in two bloody wars of Camel and Si/fin; Hazrat All's assassination was actually a result of that internal strife of the Muslims, dividing the Muslim community into two warring camps. Hazrat Hasan's abdication of the Khilafah tried to bridge the gulf but temporarily, and the situation became explosive once again when Hazrat Muawiyah (RA) nominated his son Yazid as his successor whose candidature was questioned and opposed by a group of people especially by Hazrat Husain (RA) on the ground that he was not fit for the Khilafah.
