During June and July, Kurdistan Regional Government’s Mine Action Agency proceeded with a sizeable hiring process to make up for loss of staff due to normal attri- tion. Around one hundred positions ranging from deminers, surveyors, MRE team members and storekeep- ers to finance and administration staff were up for grabs at IKMAA. One interesting lesson learned from Ako Aziz Hamad* this round of hiring was that it was rather the non-qualified positions W ith the financial support of UNICEF lets and a CD, which contains a package of such as basic deminers which were the Mine Risk Education directorate MRE lessons, photos of common mines & of Iraqi Kurdistan Mine Action Agen- UXOs, official & local mine warning signs fairly more difficult to fill in rath- cy started implementing a summer school and MRE instructions.

Surveys in the Kurd- istan region of northeastern Iraq from 2007 to 2012 resulted in the discovery of N. microspilotus at seven new localities distributed in the Zagros Mountain of Sulaymaniya Province. The new locations provide a major range extension of N. microspilotus. In addition, four new localities of N. crocatus were located between 2007 and 2013. In addition to Neurergus newt surveys, interviews with local people were also conducted through the use of photographs. Severe drought during recent years as well as anthropogenic habitat destruction and pollution have been considered as main threats to the survival of both species in northern Iraq.

  • Iom Emergency Needs Assessments Post February 2006 Displacement in Iraq 1 January 2009 Monthly Report
    IOM EMERGENCY NEEDS ASSESSMENTS POST FEBRUARY 2006 DISPLACEMENT IN IRAQ 1 JANUARY 2009 MONTHLY REPORT Following the February 2006 bombing of the Samarra Al-Askari Mosque, escalating sectarian violence in Iraq caused massive displacement, both internal and to locations abroad. In coordination with the Iraqi government’s Ministry of Displacement and Migration (MoDM), IOM continues to assess Iraqi displacement through a network of partners and monitors on the ground. Most displacement over the past five years (since 2003) occurred in 2006 and has since slowed. However, displacement continues to occur in some locations and the humanitarian situation of those already displaced is worsening. Some Iraqis are returning, but their conditions in places of return are extremely difficult. The estimated number of displaced since February 2006 is more than 1.6 million individuals1. SUMMARY OF CURRENT IRAQI DISPLACEMENT AND RETURN: Returns While an estimated 1.6 million individuals are displaced in Iraq, returns continue to grow. This is particularly the case in Baghdad. Many returnees are coming back to find destroyed homes and infrastructure in disrepair. Buildings, pipe and electrical networks, and basic public services such as health care centers are all in need of rehabilitation to meet the needs of returning IDP and refugee families. Transportation for families who wish to return also continues to be an issue. Some families wish to return but do not have the financial resources to travel with their belongings to their places of origin. MoDM has offered 500,000 Iraqi Dinar (IQD), or approximately 432 USD to IDP families returning from another governorate, and they have offered 250,000 IQD for families returning within the same governorate.
