Iraq is considered as one of the most susceptible States to ravages and disasters due to the succession of political regimes and governments which favored their interests over the wellbeing of the citizen and their homeland, which forced them to emigrate in search of a safe haven away from home. Therefore, it was necessary to establish the Independent Organization for Refugees and Migrants Iraqis to determine the situation in which they live, and to try to coordinate efforts to overcome this troubled reality. The continued migration of the Iraqi citizen has reached a point which only can be described as a crisis that led them to live in those States with no rights whatsoever.
Iraq witnessed in 2006 the largest exodus of human refugees since the war of 1948, according to data from the International Organization for Migration and the Office of the High Commissioner for Refugees, which referred to the exodus of more than three million Iraqis to neighboring countries and other countries as a result of lawlessness and political turmoil in Iraq since the fall of the former regime, which contributed to the proliferation of armed groups built on a sectarian basis, to the kidnapping and murder of people and displaced identity according to the religious affiliations and beliefs, so that no religion or doctrine recognizes the sacrifice of these.
The inability of successive governments to provide security and protection of citizens has exacerbated the problem, on the contrary, as a number of United Nations organizations and the human rights recorded, many citizens were murdered, kidnapped and displaced by the hands of a uniformed government
All this contributed to the increase of the average citizen's sense of loss, security and stability, forcing many people to leave their homes and their home areas to look for places safer and more stable. The Statistics of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees refer to the displacement of more than 1.700.000 Iraqis inside Iraq, more than a million immigrants in Syria, 700.000 in Jordan, 80.000 in Egypt, 40.000 in Lebanon and other preparation in the various States.
The commission stated in its report that one of eight Iraqis were displaced from their homes and more than half a million people left their homes during the second half of last year, where the increase in violence in central and southern Iraq has forced thousands of Iraqis to leave their homes after the events of Samara'a in February 2006, and After mid-2006.
The number of displaced people recorded a marked increase of up to more than 50.000 per month. |
