Baghdad / Mustafa Habib
did not know Abu Yassin, three-forty-year-old anything about politics, do not know who is the head of the country, or of the governed, it does not have a mobile or device to capture the satellite, and all I know is that cans cans beef blank, which was constructed from his home will not be able to resist this winter.
Criticizes Abu Yassin bitter "Americans" and "state" and see that the two cause of his ordeal, where the land is no longer for him, built the house of the plates empty cans, where he and dozens of disadvantaged people like him, in a remote area south of Baghdad known as "Abu Dshir. " Says that "Americans Khalsona of the oppressor Saddam Hussein, who was the same war and pay the people and fuel them, but they did not give us anything."
Abu Yassin, like other Iraqis who live below the poverty line, do not care much for the ruler and the ruled, all they expect is to get to a better life than those in which they live, and today they realized that the Americans out of Iraq may come consequences worse than their incomes. Iraqis are divided concerning the U.S. withdrawal between the two teams, one sees that the withdrawal would give the Iraqis a chance to manage their own affairs without outside interference, while the second group believes that the withdrawal of U.S. troops would open the door to many risks, including the growing interference of Iran. Abu Yassin, who does not wish is a home's head and his family of nine members, and not to the municipal council in the district demolished the general market of vegetables which it operates, it seems afraid of the days the next, does not see any signs of him to be optimistic. "The bombings that took place near the market where I work, last Thursday, almost win me, but that day I went to the health center to treat my little son."
neighborhood "Abu Dshir", home to Abu Yassin , he was like other neighborhoods of the capital Baghdad bombings killed a number of victims in the December 22 last, days after the U.S. withdrawal from the country. bombings came in the wake of the outbreak of the political crisis between the top two coalitions in power, namely, "a coalition of state law," led by Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki, and the "Iraqi" led by Iyad Allawi, after the issuance of an arrest warrant for Vice President Tareq al-Hashemi, who belongs to a cluster of Iraq on charges of incitement to terrorist operations. Ahmed Ibrahim, a government employee in the Department of Electricity in the area of Rusafa in Baghdad, says he No one accepts that to be occupied by a foreign country, and we are happy departure of U.S. forces, but politicians steal our joy Bouklavathm years. he says, "I'm afraid of exacerbating the differences between the politicians, they are fighting for position and gains .. America was intervening to resolve disputes, and today left the U.S. and we stayed alone under the hammer. "does not exclude Ahmed worsening security situation and the return of armed groups and militias in the streets in the wake of any escalation of sectarian may occur between the politicians. escalation of the last open door to the uncertainties of the future of the country began to worry people, even those who support the withdrawal now fear the day of the deterioration of the situation , and return to the stage of sectarian tension. Haji Muhammad Alusi has a range of shops in Baghdad, which shows cautious optimism of the American withdrawal from the country. Alusi says that "political differences, bombings and acts of violence are not new on the Iraqis have used them for years, and there are plans to derail the political process and reduce the prestige of the state and its security forces," adding, "Iraqis will do so this ordeal sooner or later." Political differences are not spur of the moment, some due to years, while others started after the announcement of results of the last legislative elections that took place in Maraam 2010 when he got a block of "Iraq" on (91) seats, and get "a coalition of state law" (89) seats. Differences to form government, which lasted eight months after the election, decided later at the initiative of President of Kurdistan region Masoud Barzani, and provided for the signing of the agreement (11) items. Mohammed Saad, a truck driver living neighborhood of Liberty in Baghdad, says that "to predict what will happen after the withdrawal appears to be difficult, but the recent bombings revealed to the people that "bad is coming to inevitably." and adds "I'm not optimistic, I still believe that the future will be better, especially if it stayed the differences between the politicians they are." disputes the current political, and the U.S. withdrawal, reflected on the economic situation also, as it decreased the value of the dinar against the dollar TONGS (3%) while that of trading in the Iraqi Stock Exchange (10%) made it fears among Iraqis from the collapse of the currency and get depressed, as in European countries and America. says peace-Khafaji, a trader in the market Shorja in Baghdad, "We traders do not feel reassured by the economic situation these days, Our economy is unstable, and relies on U.S. support, and gross national income in the country depends on oil only." Peace believes that although budgets large approved by the parliament during the past eight years However, the lack of planning, lack of investment, and the spread of financial and administrative corruption, the case without finding a basic solid of the Iraqi economy. the fear of withdrawal strengthened by recent security incidents in Iraq after a series of bombings that hit many areas in Baghdad, and the economic situation based on the expectation at the moment. Iraqis entering the new year, and they are afraid of the repercussions of a U.S. withdrawal, and the continuing political differences, and the increasing violence, and look forward to overcome this crisis quickly, either Abu Yassin still blame the Americans to enter Iraq and the withdrawal of it. "I do not think it will survive for long with the rain and storm surges, and the Americans did not like me to provide solutions to their crises, not when you enter or after the withdrawal, "Abu Yassin, his hand shaking as he toured the cynical towards his small house. n for: "Talk Weekly"
