All the possibili- ties, problems, and challenges of distributing the available material and human resources across competing uses must be taken into consideration to maximize results for the national economy and the broader society. Three years of implementation of the 2010-2014 National Development Plan have resulted in important successes in certain areas and setbacks in others. It’s not fair to say that respon- sibility for the failures lies with the policies and programs adopted in the previous plan. The security and political dimensions of the surrounding environment, the executive capabilities of the ministries and governorates, the problems that continue to hinder the establishment and implementation of projects, weak commitment to the plan, and the weak link between annual investment budgets and plan priorities, along with the plan targets and the means of reaching these targets are all factors that contributed to these setbacks in certain areas and require that this plan be met with a high degree of compliance. The official decision announcing the 2010-2014 National Development Plan document in- cluded following up on plan goals in 2012 to monitor achievements and diagnose failures.

  • The Iraqi Border Crossing Police Used the Mobile Vehicle and Cargo Inspec- Tion System (MVACIS) for the First Time Since U.S
    January 29, 2010 Staff Maj. Gen Sabah, Dhi Qar provincial Chief of Police, hosted Lt. Col. Jay Gallivan, commander of 1st Battalion, 77th Armor Regiment and Dr. Anna Prouse, Dhi Qar Provincial Reconstruction Team leader, as the guests of honor at the Tactical Security Unit Barracks in Nasiriyah for a soccer game involving members of the three different organizations. The Iraqis beat up on the joint PRT/U.S. Army team with a final score of 10-1. The relationship between the three groups is essential. This game provided an opportunity to improve the friendship between the Iraqi Police, U.S. Forces, and PRT. After the game trophies and gifts were exchanged and participants spent time socializing. The Iraqi Army and U.S. Forces Route Clearance Team from 2nd Squad- ron, 13th Cavalry Regiment conducted their third route sanitation mission in southern Maysan. The mission, lasting eight hours, focused on the areas around Qalat Salih and Al Kahla. A total of 63 obstacles were reduced, in- cluding earthen mounds, trash piles, and assorted roadside debris. Amongst the obstacles that were reduced was a series of earthen mounds on route in which the outlaws had hidden a multiple-array Explosively Formed Projectile earlier this month. Disruption to the local civilian population was minimal because the Route Clearance Team allowed traffic to flow freely throughout the course of the operation. Obstacles that were a part of the local infrastructure, such as wind breaks and irrigation canals, were not disturbed. This mission is important to keep roads safe for civilian traffic. The Iraqi Border Crossing Police used the Mobile Vehicle and Cargo Inspec- tion System (MVACIS) for the first time since U.S.

  • New Insights on the Role of Environmental Dynamics Shaping Southern Mesopotamia: from the Pre-Ubaid to the Early Islamic Period
    IRAQ (2019) Page 1 of 24 Doi:10.1017/irq.2019.2 1 NEW INSIGHTS ON THE ROLE OF ENVIRONMENTAL DYNAMICS SHAPING SOUTHERN MESOPOTAMIA: FROM THE PRE-UBAID TO THE EARLY ISLAMIC PERIOD By MARK ALTAWEEL,ANKE MARSH,JAAFAR JOTHERI,CARRIE HRITZ,DOMINIK FLEITMANN, STEPHANIE ROST,STEPHEN F. L INTNER,MCGUIRE GIBSON,MATTHEW BOSOMWORTH, MATTHEW JACOBSON,EDUARDO GARZANTI,MARA LIMONTA AND GIUDITTA RADEFF Recent fieldwork and archival sedimentary materials from southern Iraq have revealed new insights into the environment that shaped southern Mesopotamia from the pre-Ubaid (early Holocene) until the early Islamic period. These data have been combined with northern Iraqi speleothem, or stalagmite, data that have revealed relevant palaeoclimate information. The new results are investigated in light of textual sources and satellite remote sensing work. It is evident that areas south of Baghdad, and to the region of Uruk, were already potentially habitable between the eleventh and early eighth millennia B.C., suggesting there were settlements in southern Iraq prior to the Ubaid. Date palms, the earliest recorded for Iraq, are evident before 10,000 B.C., and oak trees are evident south of Baghdad in the early Holocene but disappeared after the mid-sixth millennium B.C. New climate results suggest increased aridity after the end of the fourth millennium B.C. For the third millennium B.C. to first millennium A.D., a negative relationship between grain and date palm cultivation in Nippur is evident, suggesting shifting cultivation emphasising one of these crops at any given time in parts of the city. The Shatt en-Nil was also likely used as a channel for most of Nippur’s historical occupation from the third millennium B.C.

The official decision announcing the 2010-2014 National Development Plan document included following up on plan goals in 2012 to monitor achievements and diagnose failures. In addition, it included keeping up with world economic developments and the effects and repercussions of the financial crisis on all economic conditions, in particular oil prices and developments in oil production and exports in Iraq, expectations of increasing it over the medium term through oil licensing rounds, and the effects of this on the great increase anticipated in the resources available for development and relative improvement in security.

The network encompasses a wide spectrum of expertise and interests, from research scientists to consultants, government agency specialists to peatland site managers. It operates largely through e-mail and newsletters, and holds regular workshops and symposia. For more information: consult the IMCG Website: http://www.imcg.net IMCG has a Main Board of 15 people from various parts of the world that has to take decisions between congresses. Of these 15 an elected 5 constitute the IMCG Executive Committee that handles day-to-day affairs. The Executive Committee consists of a Chairman (Jan Sliva), a Secretary General (Hans Joosten), a Treasurer (Philippe Julve), and 2 additional members (Tatiana Minaeva, Stuart Brooks). Viktor Masing (†), Hugo Sjörs, and Richard Lindsay have been awarded honorary membership of IMCG. Editorial Again the international mire community suffers a severe loss: Jean-Marc Hervio died on January 28th 2003. A major loss for France, where he had been driving forward mire conservation in the last years, and for all mire friends who had the opportunity to enjoy his company during the IMCG Symposium in France in July 2002, of which he was one of the main organizer. Jean-Marc was the director of the "Pole Tourbière", the French national mire information centre, which was officially opened during the Symposium. Jean-Marc was a devoted conservationist, who loved the way he lived and worked. Our editing of the present Newsletter has been as rigorous as always and we take full responsibility for any mistakes we may have made.
