INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATION FOR MIGRATION MONITORING OF RECENTLY- DISPLACED POPULATIONS Since the bombing of the Al-Askari shrine in Samarra on 22 February 2006, IOM has been monitoring newly-displaced populations in Iraq’s 15 Central and Southern Governorates through its monitoring partners. IOM has been working with these partners for several years, and their knowledge of previously existing IDP populations and the socio-ethnic characteristics of each Governorate is strong. The monitors use IDP Rapid Assessment Templates for both IDP groups and individual IDP families. The IDP Rapid Assessment Template addresses a number of issues and needs, including food, health care, water and sanitation, documentation, and property. The templates also outline the IDPs’ future intentions. Monitors visit IDP tribal and community leaders, local NGOs, local government bodies, and individual IDP families to gather information and complete the templates. Once the information is gathered, it is then entered into a database for analyzing. IOM compiles this information into a report that is released several times a month to the IDP Working Group and Emergency Working Group. IOM works closely with Iraq’s Ministry of Displacement and Migration (MoDM), which is also monitoring recent displacements and distributing information. While it is IOM’s goal to capacitate MoDM and collaborate on the monitoring of IDPs, it is also important to provide independent monitoring information to stakeholders. IOM therefore works closely with MoDM on monitoring activities while continuing to independently collect displacement information. GOVERNORATE OVERVIEWS Below is summary information on displacement and priority needs for each Governorate. Please note that displacements are occurring on a continuous basis, and IOM strives to update this information as frequently as possible. With this information, IOM is developing Governorate Needs Assessments for the 15 central and lower governorates in Iraq. These Governorate Needs Assessments will assist IOM and other agencies to prioritize areas of operation, plan emergency responses, and design long-term, durable solutions. The reasons for displacement are similar throughout Iraq: most of the newly-displaced are being threatened because of their religious orientation by means of abductions, assassinations, and direct threats to life. This has led to an increase in generalized violence and a corresponding decrease in security. The majority of the displaced are moving in with friends and family, placing new burdens on their host communities. Others are moving into abandoned buildings, such as factories, schools, unoccupied military facilities and other structures. Finally, IOM estimates that about 3% of the recently-displaced IDPs are moving into camps set up by either MoDM or the Iraqi Red Crescent Society (IRCS). Some of these camps are transitory, inhabited by IDPs intending to remain there only until they decide to move or can find a more long-term solution. Other camps seem to be permanent, however. The totals for individuals listed below have been reached by multiplying the total number of families by 6 (the average number of members in an Iraqi family). In Governorates where most families have more members, such as Anbar, the total number of individuals will be higher. As of today’s report, IOM monitors have assessed and report 57,166 families, or 342,996 individuals displaced in Iraq since 22 February 2006 (including 3 northern governorates). 2 INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATION FOR MIGRATION Anbar: 6,607 families, 39,642 individuals Anbar governorate is located to the west of Baghdad and stretches from the capital to Jordan and Syria. This governorate extends for 138,000 square kilometres and is mostly desert. Forming part of the Sunni Triangle, the governorate is predominantly populated by Sunni Arabs. Anbar has experienced some of the greatest violence and conflict of any Iraqi governorate over the past few years. Fallujah and Ramadi districts in the governorate have suffered attacks due to fighting between the Multi-National Forces in Iraq and insurgents since May 2003. The fighting between the insurgents in Fallujah and the MNF intensified in April 2004, where over 250,000 persons fled the city and headed to Baghdad and other surrounding villages. Clashes are still occurring in Ramadi, resulting in the destruction of health facilities, the occupation of buildings, and a cessation of school activities. Almost all of the IDP families who have fled to Anbar are Sunni. The majority comes from Baghdad, and others come from Babylon, Basrah, and from within Anbar. The most frequently listed needs were water, food, shelter, and non-food items. The military operations in Ramadi and overall instability in Anbar might be discouraging some Sunni IDPs from going to this governorate as of late. Most of the families displaced to Anbar reside in rented houses or public buildings or with their relatives. The Islamic party and tribal leaders in some areas like in Heet and Falluja have determined the rental cost for renting houses should not exceed 100,000 Iraqi dinars and 50,000 Iraqi dinars for renting flats in order to help the families that have no relatives in these areas. IOM provided food, hygienic kits, water tanks and jerry cans to 4,544 families in February and March. On the 3rd of June, IOM completed assisting 1,994 IDP families. This distribution included food, hygiene kits, kitchen sets, kerosene stoves, mineral water, jerry cans and chlorine tablets. In July, IOM finished food and non-food distribution to 2,322 Ramadi IDPs that fled Ramadi due to the recent military operation. Water was provided to 4,480 recently-displaced IDPs and the host community in June and July. In August, food and non-food assistance was completed for 217 newly displaced families in Amiriya. In September, IOM also completed a distribution of food and non-food items to 594 IDP families in Ana and Fallujah. The water distribution for 4,981 IDP families was implemented from August through September. In November, IOM completed a distribution to assist 1,407 IDP Families with food and non-food items. A new distribution to assist 1,355 IDP families with food and non food items will begin next week. Babylon: 3,169 families, 19,014 individuals Though commonly referred to as the “Cradle of Civilization”, Babylon suffers from a destroyed economy and high unemployment. Despite this, communities in Babylon have lived in comparative peace. Hilla is the capital of Babylon, and its relative security and close proximity to Baghdad have attracted a large number of IDPs. Lately, it has been a primary destination of Shia IDPs heading south. This governorate is the only southern governorate which has shown the presence of Arab Sunni families displaced after 22nd February 2006. This is due to the governorate’s close proximity to Baghdad; therefore, IDPs displaced from Baghdad came to Babylon to be near to their properties. Most of the IDPs are from Baghdad, Anbar, and Diyala, and most are Shia. IDPs are living in rented houses, with relatives and in public building. 3 INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATION FOR MIGRATION Many of the assessed families have had difficulties in transferring the ration card to the current location because they lost the required documents during the displacement. IDPs claimed that they contacted the local officials many times but the transfer of their ration card still has not been processed, although some of them were displaced over seven months.

  • Interview #25
    United States Institute of Peace Association for Diplomatic Studies and Training Iraq PRT Experience Project INTERVIEW #25 Interviewed by: Barbara Nielsen Initial Interview May 1, 2008 Copyright 2008 USIP & ADST Executive Summary The interviewee was the PRT team leader in Diyala province from February, 2007 until March, 2008. Diyala province is ethnically mixed, comprised of roughly 20% Shia, 40% Sunni, 9% Kurd, and the remainder other groups. Although intermarriage was frequent (e.g. the governor’s paramount wife was a Shia, but his young wife was a Sunni) and coexistence among the groups had been traditional, after the fall of Saddam Hussein, the sectarian divide was accentuated, along with the manifestation of a complex mosaic of conflicting loyalties and historical grievances. The interviewee’s principal mandate was to develop the capacity of the provincial government to function. However, with the constant combat and frequent ambushes he describes, lasting from February through the late fall of 2007, the PRT’s ability to travel was severely limited. The interviewee describes how, initially, they had to pick up the provincial governor in his own village 20 miles away and bring him to the government center so he could sit in his office. After about three months, the PRT renovated and fortified his office so that he could remain there overnight three to four nights per week. That example led to the assistant governor, deputy governor and other directors resorting to the same governing technique. The interviewee describes how Al-Qaeda was initially invited into the province to protect the Sunni inhabitants from the Shia militia operating at the behest of the Shia police chief.

  • Iraq: U.S. Regime Change Efforts and Post-Saddam Governance
    Order Code RL31339 CRS Report for Congress Received through the CRS Web Iraq: U.S. Regime Change Efforts and Post-Saddam Governance Updated May 16, 2005 Kenneth Katzman Specialist in Middle Eastern Affairs Foreign Affairs, Defense, and Trade Division Congressional Research Service ˜ The Library of Congress Iraq: U.S. Regime Change Efforts and Post-Saddam Governance Summary Operation Iraqi Freedom accomplished a long-standing U.S. objective, the overthrow of Saddam Hussein, but replacing his regime with a stable, moderate, democratic political structure has been complicated by a persistent Sunni Arab-led insurgency. The Bush Administration asserts that establishing democracy in Iraq will catalyze the promotion of democracy throughout the Middle East. The desired outcome would also likely prevent Iraq from becoming a sanctuary for terrorists, a key recommendation of the 9/11 Commission report. The Bush Administration asserts that U.S. policy in Iraq is now showing substantial success, demonstrated by January 30, 2005 elections that chose a National Assembly, and progress in building Iraq’s various security forces. The Administration says it expects that the current transition roadmap — including votes on a permanent constitution by October 31, 2005 and for a permanent government by December 15, 2005 — are being implemented. Others believe the insurgency is widespread, as shown by its recent attacks, and that the Iraqi government could not stand on its own were U.S. and allied international forces to withdraw from Iraq. Some U.S. commanders and senior intelligence officials say that some Islamic militants have entered Iraq since Saddam Hussein fell, to fight what they see as a new “jihad” (Islamic war) against the United States.
