From the moment of the U.S. invasion of Iraq in March 2003 the United Nations was deliberately bypassed by the Americans, dealing a fatal blow to one of the foundations of the international order: multilateralism. Until then, this principle had been considered the only guarantee of the emergence of a collective responsibility to maintain international peace and security.

The former U.S. administration did not only content itself with marginalizing the UN during the process of its military intervention, they also refused to entrust them with any management of the post-war environment. Their unfortunate, if not catastrophic, management of this situation ultimately pushed them to change course and give small roles to the UN, always well aligned with American interest, in the face of the severe problems and complications encountered on the ground. This policy change was yet another example of Winston Churchill’s famous quip that the U.S. “can always be counted on to do the right thing…after they have exhausted all other possibilities.”

” It is for these reasons that all of their actions, from the “International Compact with Iraq” to those related to the question of Kirkuk, have been stinging examples of their failure to garner support from any party or ultimately alienate all parties. “Long lost is the ideal enunciated in the Charter of the United Nations to “save succeeding generations from the scourge of war…” The return of the U.N. to Iraq in 2004 and its various activities have yielded only meager and largely insignificant results, whether in the performance of its political role in achieving national reconciliation amongst Iraqis or its socio-economic and humanitarian role in the reconstruction of a country devastated by numerous wars and years of sanctions. The United Nations has not had any impact that could strengthen its credibility and hence, that of multilateral action in this most fragile of regions.

The different Security Council resolutions on the mandate of the UN in Iraq have only brought into question their relevance, effectiveness, and their feasibility. The UN mission at the time was much more concerned with helping the former American administration rather than having as its ultimate objective assisting the Iraqi people in re-establishing themselves after their long and painful suffering.

It is for these reasons that all of their actions, from the “International Compact with Iraq” to those related to the question of Kirkuk, have been stinging examples of their failure to garner support from any party or ultimately alienate all parties.

On the other hand, it is most regrettable that this intolerable void in assistance to Iraqis has not been filled by the other regional organizations of which Iraq is a member. First, the Arab League and the lack of a serious vision on the part of its members in honoring their commitments to Iraq while their Secretary-General loudly proclaims to the media that he was the first to decide to open a mission in Baghdad (Bravo) and that this mission will continue despite the resignations of the two ambassadors sent to the country; the first (myself) for reasons of frustration and his successor, named two years later, for reasons of health. The Secretary-General intentionally refrains from mentioning the reasons for those frustrations and insists on deliberately ignoring his own responsibility. In short, to have such an euphoric conclusion, it is reasonable to ask whether the mission of the Arab League that was established in Baghdad in April 2006 will now tackle the implementation of a Marshall Plan in Iraq after his “brilliant achievement of national reconciliation.”

As for the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC), in keeping with its folkloric traditions, it would have us believe that it is thanks to its tireless efforts and its “outstanding Mecca document” that sectarian civil war in Iraq has not taken place.

Honoré de Balzac once said that “illusion is just disproportionate faith,” but what is it if even this illusion is so completely distorted?

Radical Iraqi Shiite cleric Moqtada Sadr has ordered the “depravity” of homosexuality be eradicated but warned against the anti-gay violence that has recently erupted, a spokesman said on Friday.

“The purpose of the meetings is to fight the depravity and to urge the community to reject this phenomenon,” said Sheikh Wadea al-Atabi, referring to a Thursday seminar attended by clerics, tribal leaders and police.

“The only remedy to stop it is through preaching and guidance. There is no other way to put an end to it,” he said, stressing that the movement could not resort to violence after a series of killings of gay men in Baghdad.

“Al-Sadr rejects this type of violence … and anyone who commits violence (against gays) will not be considered as being one of us,” Atabi said.

In the sprawling Baghdad Shiite district of Sadr City, police last month recovered the bullet-riddled bodies of three men said to have been homosexuals.

Another three men were found dead on the outskirts of Sadr City, with police saying an additional four men were found tortured but alive.

Also in April, a group calling itself “Brigades of the Righteous” posted signs around Sadr City listing alleged homosexuals and threatening to kill them.

The recent persecution prompted rights group Amnesty International to write a letter to Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki last month urging government protection of homosexuals.

It said that as many as 25 boys and men had been killed in Baghdad alone because they were either gay or believed to be amid concerns that religious leaders may be inciting violence against Iraq’s gay community.

Homosexuality is forbidden in Islam, frowned upon in Arab society and illegal in many Middle Eastern countries. Iraq has no law against homosexuality but prominent religious authorities have harshly condemned it.

At Thursday’s seminar, which was held in Sadr Cirty, Al-Sheikh Dawud al-Enezi, a Sadr movement leader, said “we must correct the morals of the nation. Homosexuality “is a disaster that has come to the community.”

Abu Hussein, a tribal leader in Sadr City, said: “Everybody has to work to preserve the morals of young people from the corrupt phenomena of the West.”

فقدت الأوساط الكروية العراقية واحداً من ألمع رموزها وأسطورة التدريب وشيخ المدربين عمو بابا الذي توفي مساء أمس الأول في أحد مستشفيات محافظة دهوك
التابعة لإقليم كردستان العراق، حيث خضع هناك لفحوص طبية روتينية. وشيع عمو بابا في موكب رسمي وشعبي أمس شارك فيه الآلاف.

ويعد شيخ المدربين عمو بابا (75 عاماً) من أكثر المدربين العراقيين شهرة لدوره الكبير في رسم ملامح مسيرة كرة القدم في العراق لاعباً ومدرباً حتى تخطت شهرته المحلية الواسعة وجعلته من أبرز المدربين في المنطقة لتاريخه الكروي اللافت. وكان الراحل عمو بابا واسمه الحقيقي عمانوئيل داود توفي في أحد مستشفيات مدينة دهوك بعد إدخاله إثر إصابته بعارض صحي بعد أن غادر المستشفى المذكور قبل عدة أيام وخضع فيه إلى فحوص طبية روتينية هناك. وأعلنت إدارة مستشفى «ازادي» وتعني «الحرية» في دهوك الواقعة في إقليم كردستان العراق، الوفاة. وخضع عمو بابا قبل عامين في أحد مستشفيات العاصمة الأردنية عمان إلى أكثر من مرة لعمليات جراحية لاستئصال عدد من أصابع قدميه بسبب مرض السكري ثم سافر إلى فرنسا للعلاج هناك. وتعرض بابا منذ بداية العام الجاري إلى أزمات صحية كانت أكثر وقعاً عليه من سابقاتها، فأثناء حضوره مطلع العام الجاري بطولة كأس الخليج في مسقط، أُدخل إلى أحد المستشفيات بعد تدهور حالته الصحية ثم عاد إلى العراق قبل أكثر من شهرين. وقبل ثلاثة أسابيع، غادر بابا بغداد إلى دهوك للعلاج، لكنه أدخل فجأة إلى العناية المركزة إثر مضاعفات صحية في القلب استدعت إدخاله لكنه ما لبث أن غادر ليظهر في ملعب المدينة بصحة أفضل. ولد شيخ المدربين العراقيين عمو بابا في بغداد في السابع والعشرين من نوفمبر 1934 وأُطلق عليه أشهر المعلقين الرياضيين في العراق الراحل إسماعيل محمد لقب «عمو بابا» بعدما لفت الانتباه إلى مواهبه وقدراته الكروية المبكرة. وانتقل إلى الحبانية التابعة لمحافظة الأنبار كونه عمل في الجيش هناك في إحدى القواعد الجوية وعاد العام 1955 إلى بغداد لينضم إلى فريق الحرس الملكي ويمثل منتخب الجيش العراقي للمرة الأولى أمام منتخب مصر العسكري. وهو من أشهر لاعبي زمانه وهدافي العراق من الطراز الأول واعتبر المهاجم الظاهرة في تاريخ المنتخبات الوطنية بعد أن ترك بصماته الهجومية والتهديفية منذ أول ظهور له مع منتخب بلاده في الدورة العربية في بيروت ثم مع المنتخب الأولمبي في تصفيات دورة روما 1960. وكانت آخر محطاته التدريبية مع منتخب الناشئين في نهائيات آسيا عام 2000 في الأردن. وعرف بابا بأسلوبه -في مشواره التدريبي الحافل بالإنجازات المشرفة مع منتخبات بلاده- التدريبي والتربوي الصارم مع اللاعبين حتى أصبح مصدر إرهاق وقلق لهم رغم اعتزازهم الكبير لشخصيته، كما عرف بابا بخصوماته الحادة مع رئيس اللجنة الأولمبية والاتحاد العراقي الأسبق لكرة القدم، نجل رئيس النظام السابق، عدي صدام حسين لتقاطعه معه بوجهات النظر في مجمل الجوانب التدريبية أدت إلى محاربته كثيراً بأساليب نفسية لم تهز شيخ المدربين. ورغم تلك الخصومات، منح الاتحاد العراقي السابق، شيخ المدربين عمو بابا وسام الاتحاد تقديراً لمسيرته، وهو المدرب الوحيد الذي ينال هذا الوسام الرفيع. كما منح في عام 2000 لقب «مدرب القرن العشرين» وقاد المنتخب العراقي إلى لقب بطولة كأس الخليج ثلاث مرات من أصل أربع مشاركات قاد فيها بابا منتخب بلاده في هذه البطولة، وأحرز معه ذهبية مسابقة كرة القدم في دورة الألعاب الآسيوية في الهند عام 1982 وحصل على لقب بطولة العالم العسكرية في الكويت عام 1979 وقاد منتخب بلاده الأولمبي في نهائيات مسابقة كرة القدم في ثلاث دورات على التوالي في موسكو 1980 ولوس أنجلوس 1984 وسيول عام 1988، بالإضافة إلى تدريبه المنتخب المشارك في بطولة كأس العرب قي الأردن العام 1988. ومن أبرز محطاته التدريبية مع منتخب بلاده قيادته في تصفيات مونديال 1990، وكذلك في تصفيات مونديال 1994 وتصفيات أمم آسيا 1996. وقاد المدرب الراحل عمو بابا بعض الأندية الكبيرة مثل الزوراء والقوة الجوية والطلبة ونادي الرشيد الذي يعرف الآن بنادي الكرخ وحقق معها ألقاب البطولة. وكان وراء ظهور سلسلة طويلة من نجوم الكرة العراقية أمثال رئيس الاتحاد العراقي الحالي حسين سعيد وعدنان درجال وكريم صدام وأحمد راضي وراضي شنيشل وليث حسين وحبيب جعفر واخرون. ويعد بابا صاحب الرقم القياسي بقيادة منتخب بلاده مدربا في أكثر من 150 مباراة. وظهر بابا آخر مرة في 21 الجاري أثناء زيارته لاستاد مدينة دهوك الذي افتتح مؤخراً وأنشأته إحدى الشركات السويدية وأشاد حينها بابا الذي التف حوله المئات من محبيه بالبنى التحتية في الإقليم. وقال في آخر لقاء تلفزيوني أثناء تفقده ستاد دهوك بعد خروجه من المستشفى برفقة المسؤولين هناك: «أتمنى أن أرى مثل هذا الاستاد في بغداد وأن يكون ستاد الشعب الدولي مثله». وأضاف: «كما أتمنى أن أموت في العراق وأُدفن في بلدي». يشار إلى أن أسرة شيخ المدربين عمو بابا التي تضم زوجته وابنتيه تعيش في الولايات المتحدة الأميركية بينما يعيش ابنه الوحيد «سامي» في فرنسا، ورفض بابا أكثر من مرة فكرة مغادرة البلاد والاستقرار خارجه. ونال بابا نصيبه من أعمال العنف التي شهدتها البلاد فقد تعرض صيف عام 2006، حيث يسكن في مسكن صغير في منطقة زيونة في قلب العاصمة بغداد إلى عملية سطو من قبل مجموعة مسلحة انهالت عليه بالضرب وقامت بسرقة أموال كانت مخصصة لعلاجه في الأردن تبرع بها مسؤولون في حكومة إقليم كردستان العراق. وبعد أن أطلق بابا حينها نداء استغاثة تكفلت الحكومة ورئيس الجمهورية جلال طالباني وكذلك رئيس الاتحادين العربي والسعودي لكرة القدم الأمير سلطان بن فهد بن عبد العزيز بتغطية نفقات رحلة علاجه. وأشرف بابا في آخر منصب له على المدرسة الكروية التي تهتم بتعليم الصغار فنون كرة القدم وتضم 300 لاعب صغير موهوب، كما عمل مستشاراً في الاتحاد العراقي للعبة بيد أنه لم يستمر طويلاً نتيجة انتقاداته الحادة لطريقة إدارة الاتحاد العراقي لكرة القدم.

وزير الهجرة يدعو زيباري إلي إلغاء الاتفاقيات حول ترحيل طالبي اللجوء العراقيين من السويد والدنمارك

بغداد ــ طالب الحسيني:
نشب امس خلاف داخل الحكومة العراقية حول التعامل مع ملف المرحلين قسرا من أوربا إلي بغداد. في حين دعا وزير الهجرة والمهجرين عبدالصمد رحمن سلطان وزير الخارجية العراقي هوشيار زيباري الي الغاء الاتفاقيات التي عقدها مع السويد والدنمارك حول اعادة طالبي اللجوء العراقيين الموجودين في البلدين الذين رفضت طالبات لجوئهم بعد يوم واحد من تسلم حوالي 300 طالب لجوء عراقي رفضت طلبات لجوئهم أوامر بالترحيل من الشرطة الدنماركية عبر رسائل وصلت الي منازلهم. فيما يواصل هؤلاء اللاجئون اعتصامهم في احدي كنائس كوبنهاغن خشية الترحيل.
ونفي سلطان الاربعاء ان يكون لوزارته اي علاقة بملف اعادة العراقيين الي بلادهم قسرا، في حين التزمت الخارجية العراقية الصمت حول هذا الطلب. وكانت الاتفاقيات التي وقعها. زيباري مع الحكومتين السويدية والدنماركية في وقت سابق قد دفعت المفوضية العليا للاجئن الي إعادة تقييم وضع طالبي اللجوء العراقيين في الدول الاوربية وسحبت دعمها لمنحهم اللجوء وتركت ذلك لتقدير الحكومات.
وكانت سلطات مطار بغداد قد رفضت استقبال اول وجبة من اللاجئين العراقيين المرحلين قسرا. كما رفض اقليم كردستان السماح بهبوط الطائرات التي تحمل لاجئين عراقيين مرحلين قسرا. وطالبت سلطات المطار زيباري بالطلب من الحكومتين الترتيب في تنفيذ الاتفاق.
ولازالت بغداد وباقي المدن العراقية تشهد تفجيرات واغتيالات وعمليات خطف يذهب ضحيتها المئات شهريا.
وتأتي دعوة سلطان علي خلفية ما أشيع حول توقيع وزارة الخارجية العراقية اتفاقية مع السلطات الدنماركية تسمح للاخيرة بتسفير العراقيين الذين لم يحصلوا علي اذونات اقامة او لجوء ، الي بلادهم قسرا.
ولفت سلطان الي ان وزارته تسعي الان الي اعادة العائلات المهجرة إلي منازلها من خلال فتح مراكز جديدة في بغداد والموصل وديالي وشمال بابل مع تقديم المساعدات اللازمة لها.
يشار الي ان السلطات الدنماركية ابلغت مئات العراقيين الذين لم يحصلوا علي اذونات اقامة او لجوء رسمية في اراضيها بالعودة الي بلادهم مما جعل هؤلاء مهددين بالتسفيرالقسري باي لحظة .
يذكر ان مايزيد علي 3 ملايين عراقي هاجروا الي خارج بلادهم بعد غزوها عام 2003 ومازال غالبيتهم يقيمون في دول الجوار وفي دول الشتات بالعالم .
ويقيم حوالي مليون لاجئ عراقي في سوريا و750 الف في الاردن يرفضون العودة خشية الاعتقال او القتل او الخطف برغم تسهيلات محدودة قدمتها الحكومة العراقية.
واستقبلت احدي كنائس كوبنهاغن طالبي اللجوء العراقيين للاقامة فيها، لكنها اعلنت انها غير قادرة علي عصيان اوامر الشرطة اذا قبضت عليهم ورحلتهم عن البلاد.

اعتدنا منذ الصغر ان نرتب حياتنا ونجدولها حسب الاهمية في المواضيع التي تشغلنا ، فكل شيء كان بالوقت المحدد والمقرر خصوصاً ما يخص الامتحانات النهائية والمسائل العامة التي تخص المجتمع بشرائحه المختلفة. ومنذ اعوام مضت تغير الحال اي بعد ان طرقت الديمقراطية ابوابنا لتمنحنا المشاركة في اتخاذ القرارات ……
في الايام التي مضت انشغل الجميع بتحديد فترة معينة لاداء الامتحانات النهائية في الجامعات العراقية ، ولكي تخرج الوزارة من مأزق تحديد الموعد اولت الجامعات تحديد ذلك كلاً حسب ما يراه ماسباً للظروف المختلفة التي تحيط ببيئتها فالجميع يعلم ان الظروف في محافظة ديالى قد تختلف عما هو في بغداد او البصرة او كركوك….. ، وبذلك تحددت المواعيد بفترات زمنية متقاربة بين بعض الجامعات ولكن اغلبها قررت ان تبدأ امتحاناتها في نهاية شهر آيار وبالتحديد يوم 25 او 26 من شهر آيار ، وبذلك حسم الموضوع واتخذت كافة الاجراءات اللازمة استعدادا لليوم الموعود ، خصوصا وان جدول الامتحانات قد اعلن على الملئ ، فالكل تهيئ من طلاب واساتذه لاداء ادوارهم المختلفة.
ولكن ماذا حدث في يوم 26/5/ 2009 اول يوم من امتحانات اخر السنة اخر السنة اخر السنة ـ كررتها لكي لا تفوتكم المعلومة نعم انها امتحانات اخر السنة ـ في جامعة ديالى والجميع من طلاب واساتذه متوجهون إلى كلياتهم لاداء واجباتهم المنوطة بهم فالطالب يؤدي الامتحان والاستاذ يراقب او يؤدي واجبه كعضو من اعضاء اللجنة الامتحانية.
وهنا تأتي المفاجئة التي لم تكن تخطر على البال فقد اجلت الامتحانات باتصال هاتفي من الوزارة الى رئاسة الجامعة لتاريخ 6/6/2009، الظريف بالموضوع ان قرار التأجيل جاء قبل 20 ساعة من الموعد المحدد للامتحانات !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! وكأنه الوزارة كانت في غفوة من الامر وفجأة شعرت بضرورة تدخلها السريع واصدار الاوامر؟؟؟؟؟؟؟ ولماذا
تخيل عزيزي القارئ طلاب من محافظات مختلفة اساتذه من محافظات مختلفة ، الجميع توجه الى الدوام املين ان تبدأ وتنتهي الامتحانات على خير وسلامة فتعب السنة الدراسية يكون حاسمها الحقيقي هذا الامتحان، فضلا عن ذلك فان الغالبية العظمى من طلاب واساتذه قد رتبو وضعهم على ذلك خصوصا من اتى من خارج محافظة ديالى وقرر البقاء لغاية انتهاء فترة الامتحانات على امل ان يعود الى محافظته بعد انتهاء المده المقررة لها.
اخيراً فاننا نعلم ومنذ فترات طويلة ان الامم والشعوب تتطور عبر التاريخ من خلال وعيها لاساليب الحياة المتقدمة خصوصا البلدان التي تأتي باناس يدعون بانهم فاهمين وداركين لمختلف جوانب الحياة …… وهنا اتمنى ان تجيبنا وزارة التعليم العالي والبحث العلمي عن بعض الاسئلة التي دارت باذهان الغالبية العضمى من الطلاب والاساتذه:
لماذا اعطت الوزارة الحق للجامعات بان تحدد مواعيد الامتحانات النهائية منذ بداية الامر ولم تأخذ على عاتقها تحديد الموعد المقرر بذلك ام انها فقط ارادت ان تتدعي الديمقراطية ؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟
يا ترى ماذا ستفعل وزارة التعليم العالي والبحث العلمي مع جامعات بغداد التي بدأت بالامتحانات منذ يوم امس والتي ستبدأ امتحاناتها يوم غدا ؟؟؟ ولماذا التأجيل جاء لجامعة ديالى دون باقي الجامعات ؟؟؟؟؟
وهل الوزارة فكرت بارتفاع درجات الحرارة مع الايام القادمة ووضع الطلاب والاساتذة خصوصا وان الكهرباء شبه معدومه في الكليات كافة في الجامعة ؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟
كيف ستتصرف الوزارة لو لم يكن هناك اتصال هاتفي لابلاغ الجامعة بامر التأجيل ؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟
مع تقديري للسادة المسؤولين في وزارة التعليم العالي المحبين للعراق وشعبه

By SAMEER N. YACOUB, Associated Press Writer Sameer N. Yacoub, Associated Press Writer – 1 hr 26 mins ago
BAGHDAD – Iraq’s prime minister has accepted the resignation of the country’s trade minister, who agreed to step down following allegations of widespread corruption in his department, the government said Monday.

Trade Minister Falah al-Sudani submitted his resignation May 14, but Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki delayed accepting it to allow parliament to review the allegations, a government statement said.

Those allegations include claims that the minister’s two brothers skimmed off tens of millions of dollars in kickbacks on food and other goods imported by the Trade Ministry.

One of his brothers, Sabah al-Sudani, was arrested this month allegedly trying to leave the country. The other brother, Majid al-Sudani, remains at large. Both were members of the minister’s security force.

Al-Maliki has promised a major crackdown against corruption, which opinion surveys have identified as one of the major public complaints against the government.

At least nine officials of the Trade Ministry — including the minister’s two brothers — have been charged with corruption. Last month, a gunfight broke out in the ministry when authorities went to serve the warrants.

Falah al-Sudani has not been charged but has been accused of tolerating widespread corruption and mismanagement in the ministry, which the head of parliament’s integrity commission described as “a remarkable source of corruption and squandering of public funds.”

The head of the integrity commission, Sabah al-Saedi, told The Associated Press that the minister’s resignation “is good news for the Iraqi people” because he “failed in carrying out his duties.”

“We think that the resignation is not enough and al-Sudani should be banned from traveling abroad,” al-Saedi said. “He should be subjected to an investigation for the breaches and financial embezzlement committed in the Trade Ministry.”

Security and corruption are emerging as the major issues ahead of next January’s national elections. Al-Maliki’s supporters scored major electoral successes in January’s provincial elections by promising to improve security and fight corruption.

Also Monday, fighting broke out when Iraqi security forces raided a suspected insurgent hide-out, killing at least two people, according to Iraq’s interior minister.

The raid comes after a series of high-profile attacks in Baghdad left 66 dead last week, raising questions about the abilities of Iraqi forces to provide security as U.S. combat troops leave Iraq’s cities in advance of a June 30 deadline.

The clashes began shortly after 3 a.m. when Iraqi forces raided a suspected hide-out in the mixed neighborhood of Ghadir, Interior Minister Jawad al-Bolani told AP.

Al-Bolani said the clashes lasted for about four hours, ending with the deaths of a suspected Syrian insurgent and another unidentified man. He said two others had been arrested.

Three Iraqi police officers also were injured in the clashes, he added.

The raid targeted an insurgent group believed to be responsible for planting car bombs. Al-Bolani said security forces discovered a ready-made car bomb during the raid in Ghadir, once a predominantly Christian neighborhood.

By late morning, the operation expanded into house-to-house searches by Iraqi military forces, witnesses said.

An Associated Press reporter also witnessed soldiers and police officers searching cars for possible bombs at checkpoints leading in and out of the neighborhood.

Nursing shortage, corruption and little medicine plague health care system
Associated press /www.msnbc.msn.com
updated 11:21 p.m. ET May 23, 2009
SAQLAWIYAH, Iraq – This part of Iraq, says Dr. Ayad al-Hadithy, is so conservative that a man would rather have his pregnant wife die in labor than be touched by a male nurse or doctor.
It’s just one of the difficulties faced by U.S. and Iraqi officials as they struggle to nurse the war-ravaged province of Anbar back to health. One showcase of their efforts is the reopening last year, for women only, of the Nursing School in Anbar’s capital, Ramadi. Another is a field school in the town of Saqlawiyah that has just graduated its first batch of 10 female nurse’s aides.
Nowhere are nurses more badly needed than in Saqlawiyah and its surrounding villages, where 50,000 people have no women doctors and only one female nurse and one midwife, both old and overworked.

The area’s most recent records, from five years ago when the anti-U.S. insurgency was just beginning, show that one in five women dies in childbirth, and many women never even see a doctor.
The strictures on women as nurses stems from the province’s strong tribal society and its puritan reading of Islam. But al-Hadithy, a 49-year-old mother-and-child care specialist, doesn’t accept it.
“This is ignorance, not Islam,” he said. “Nowhere does Islam say: ‘Let your wife die.’”
Another obstacle, he said, is the reluctance of husbands to let their wives travel 25 miles to Ramadi to train as nurses. So three months ago, the center in Saqlawiyah was opened.
But first al-Hadithy had to persuade the village imams to back the project — or at least not preach against it — and the husbands to let their wives train with him.
Yet another problem is that female nursing is a profession held in low regard by Iraqis, because it requires night work and contact with male patients. “But I knew if I could teach them some basic first aid — how to give a shot or take someone’s blood pressure — these women would be accepted,” al-Hadithy said.
‘Bringing it to them’
Muzdalifa Hamza, 33, was told about the program by her cousin, Saqlawiyah’s only ambulance driver. Her husband approved and the mother of four even persuaded her sister Khulud, 40, to come along.
“When someone knocks on my door in the middle of the night, I now know enough to go out and help a sick person,” Hamza said. “But someday I want to be a real nurse.” In the fall, she plans to enroll in a three-year course at the Nursing School.
The Saqlawiyah project was spearheaded by Vernon Pressley, a senior public health adviser from the Atlanta-based Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the head of the local U.S. reconstruction team attached to the Marines in Ramadi.
“The sheiks would never have agreed to let women leave for training far away, so I thought of bringing it to them,” Pressley said. The Saqlawiyah project has cost $12,000, and the 10 trainees share a monthly wage of $250.
The sum is small compared with the $847 million the U.S. says it has spent on Iraq’s health needs since the 2003 U.S.-led invasion. But in Anbar, the security issue was huge. The province was a stronghold of the insurgency and the Saqlawiyah center couldn’t open until after tribal sheiks switched sides two years ago and joined U.S. troops in the fight.
Hollowed-out health system
The nursing shortage is only part of Iraq’s hollowed-out health care system, plagued by corruption, mismanagement and a lack of equipment and medicines.
Iraqi medical professionals started leaving in the 1990s, during Saddam Hussein’s rule. Since the invasion, thousands have fled abroad, while of those who stayed, at least 620 have been killed, among them 134 doctors, some gunned down in their own clinics.
Dr. Ahmed Ibrahim Salih, Ramadi’s city health director, has escaped three assassination attempts that killed his assistant, five of his co-workers and a bodyguard.
Iraq’s violence has ebbed and Anbar is quiet, but Salih still works from a heavily guarded office. Meanwhile, the strengthened tribal mores have brought their own restrictions on females, so much so that women interviewed at Ramadi’s Nursing School asked not to be fully identified. They attend classes wearing all-covering dark robes and head scarves.
Finding respect, restoring hospitals
F.R., one of 10 siblings, is a high school graduate who persuaded her family to let her study nursing, telling them that someday she would have a job and bring in money.
“I believe women can work and still be respected,” the 20-year-old said.
But their teacher, Suad Aziz, says old prejudices run deep, even in urban Ramadi.
“It’s the attitude that nurses are loose women,” said Aziz. She looks at her class with hope, saying: “Once we have them graduate and working, things will change.”
Salih, the Ramadi health chief, says that since the invasion, 30 percent of the province’s doctors, about 800 of them, have left and 80 percent of the medical infrastructure, from health centers to hospitals, are in ruins.
