  • THE 14Th RAMADÄN COUP in IRAQ*
    ASIAN AND AFRICAN STUDIES, 2008, 2, 155-178 THE 14th RAMADÄN COUP IN IRAQ* Karol R. SORBY Institute of Oriental Studies, Slovak Academy of Sciences Klemensova 19, 813 64 Bratislava, Slovakia kaorkaso @ savba. sk The 14th Ramadän 1382 (8th February 1963) coup that finally put an end to the regime of cAbdalkarTm Qäsim came from the Arab nationalist quarter; no other element in the political spectrum was prepared to undertake the task. The Communists and the left still tacitly supported cAbdalkarīm Qäsim, and in any event they had too little support in the army officer corps. The Kurds had weakened the fighting capacity of the army, but they were in no position to overthrow the regime by themselves. However, there was no real unity of purpose among Arab nationalists beyond their common desire to be rid of the “Sole Leader” (az-ZacTm al-Awhad) and to reorient foreign policy toward some kind of union with other Arab countries. This action was no palace coup. The Bacthists and their nationalist allies only succeeded in gaining control of the government after a day of fierce fighting with the defenders of the regime, which cost hundreds of lives. At last the rebel forces broke through into the Ministry of Defence compound, capturing cAbdalkarīm Qäsim and his colleagues on 9 February. They were immediately brought before a tribunal of Bacthist and pan-Arab officers, sentenced to death and summarily shot. Keywords: the regime of cAbdalkarīm Qäsim; the coup of 8 February 1963; the Bacth Party; pan-Arab Iraqi Officers To overthrow a military dictatorship by civil resistance is a very difficult task.

    Saddam Hussein ﺻﺪام ﺣﺴﻴﻦ :Saddam Hussein Abd al-Majid al-Tikriti (/hʊˈseɪn/;[5] Arabic Marshal Ṣaddām Ḥusayn ʿAbd al-Maǧīd al-Tikrītī;[a] 28 April ﻋﺒﺪ اﻟﻤﺠﻴﺪ اﻟﺘﻜﺮﻳﺘﻲ 1937[b] – 30 December 2006) was President of Iraq from 16 July 1979 until 9 Saddam Hussein ﺻﺪام ﺣﺴﻴﻦ April 2003.[10] A leading member of the revolutionary Arab Socialist Ba'ath Party, and later, the Baghdad-based Ba'ath Party and its regional organization the Iraqi Ba'ath Party—which espoused Ba'athism, a mix of Arab nationalism and socialism—Saddam played a key role in the 1968 coup (later referred to as the 17 July Revolution) that brought the party to power inIraq . As vice president under the ailing General Ahmed Hassan al-Bakr, and at a time when many groups were considered capable of overthrowing the government, Saddam created security forces through which he tightly controlled conflicts between the government and the armed forces. In the early 1970s, Saddam nationalized oil and foreign banks leaving the system eventually insolvent mostly due to the Iran–Iraq War, the Gulf War, and UN sanctions.[11] Through the 1970s, Saddam cemented his authority over the apparatus of government as oil money helped Iraq's economy to grow at a rapid pace. Positions of power in the country were mostly filled with Sunni Arabs, a minority that made up only a fifth of the population.[12] Official portrait of Saddam Hussein in Saddam formally rose to power in 1979, although he had already been the de 1979 facto head of Iraq for several years.

  • The Fourth Pillar: Syrian Refugee Education in Lebanon
    The Fourth Pillar: Syrian Refugee Education in Lebanon Bahar Mahzooni Master Thesis in Middle East Studies (MES4590) Department of Culture Studies and Oriental Languages 30 credits UNIVERSITY OF OSLO Fall semester, 2019 © Bahar Mahzooni 2019 The Fourth Pillar: Syrian Refugee Education in Lebanon Bahar Mahzooni http://www.duo.uio.no/ Print: Webergs Printshop, Oslo. ii Abstract Since the outbreak of the Syrian war in 2011, large numbers of Syrian refugees have fled to Lebanon, which is currently hosting the highest number of refugees per capita in the world. Almost half of the Syrian refugees in Lebanon are school-aged children. This has created a high demand for education. However, access to quality education in the public school system is limited, and the majority of Lebanese children are enrolled in private fee-based schools. Simultaneously, nearly 70% of Syrian households are living below the poverty line, and most Syrians are not able to pay school fees required by the private schools. Thus, the Lebanese government has taken on the leading role, in collaboration with UN-agencies, to provide education for the Syrian children in Lebanon. The public schools are however, over-stretched, and international funding has fallen short. The rigorous residency requirements in combination with increasing poverty have pushed many Syrian households to utilize negative coping strategies, such as the use of child labor and early marriage. Despite an increased international awareness of the importance of emergency education, almost 250,000 Syrian children are still remaining outside of the formal education system in Lebanon. This thesis seeks to examine the education policy for Syrian refugees in Lebanon, drawing on the social, political, and economical factors preventing Syrian refugee children from enrolling in Lebanese schools.

    Early Marriages Among Syrian Refugees in Lebanon - A Case Study from the Old City of Saida Bahar Mahzooni Table of Content Introduction 3 Method 4 Ethical challenges 6 The Syrian refugees in Lebanon 7 Refugee right in Lebanon 8 Saida and the political division in Lebanon 10 The war in Syria and its impact on gender roles 12 Early marriage and regional variations in Syria 13 Early marriage and the continuous cycle of poverty 14 Marriage as a survival strategy 15 Protection as an incentive for early marriage 16 Early marriage and conflict-affected families 17 Loss of education 18 Conclusion 20 Bibliography 22 2 Bahar Mahzooni Introduction Globally, 12 million girls get married before they reach the age of 18 every year.1 The practice of early marriage affects young girls in several ways, such as their physical and mental health, education, financial status and their vocational opportunities. Moreover, early marriage is more common in countries with high levels of poverty and conflict; “Child marriage and teen pregnancy appear to be particularly high in insecure environments. Nine of the top 10 countries with the highest rates of child marriage are considered fragile states,”2 according to Rima Mourtada et al. in their qualitative study about the incentives that motivate early marriage among Syrian refugee communities in Lebanon. A report by Save the Children from 2014 concludes that the practice of early marriage drives many girls into depression, particularly if they are separated from family and friends and end up living a life in isolation after the marriage. Domestic violence is also more likely to occur within early marriages.

  • Epr Atlas 939
    Iraq Ethnicity in Iraq Group selection Population sizes were compared among four sources, the 1994 pro- jection of ANM, the 2003 Fearon list, the 1993 MAR list (using UN population estimates for 1995) and the CIA World Factbook list of ethnic groups for 2000 and 2005 (cp. references below). The following codings were made after the comparison of the different estimates: Shi’a Arabs: While the CIA and Gurr estimate the size of this group at 60%, other sources, including Fearon and the Fischer Weltalmanach give a value of 63%, which is consistent with the estimate that the Shi’a make up about 2/3 of the Muslim population of Iraq, which in turn is about 95% of the total population. For this reason, the slightly higher estimate is retained. Sunni Arabs, Kurds: The values for these two groups fluctuate somewhat, which is unsurprising since accurate estimates for the Kurdish population was harder to come by under the rule of Saddam Hussein and now, some parts of the Sunni Arab population have temporarily sought refuge in neighboring countries regularly return- ing for a short while when their visitors’ visa run out. After weighing all available estimates, the values of 19% for the Sunni Arab popula- tion and 16% for the Kurdish population were chosen. Power relations 1946-1979 After its independence from British administration in 1932, Iraq became a monarchy under King Faisal (2558). He fostered unity 2558 [Central Intelligence Agency, 2017] between the Sunni and Shi’a Arab communities in alignment with the prevailing movement at the time of Panarabism, which promoted Arab unity across the region.
