Basra' Sidewalks and The Deadly Celebrations

"By Queen Amidala
Basra, Iraq

Two things are happening in Basra that might be interesting to whom it might be concerned. One is good and the other is bad.

First the good thing. Do you remember when I wrote about the Southern Oil Company's efforts to rebuild Basra's sidewalks? Well, the National Electricity company has been doing the same thing. Though, we would loved for this company to do more in its field. But, they are doing something completely different. The company is helping to rebuild the other roads in Basrah.

At first, I started to laugh at this ironic effort. Then I had second thoughts. IT’S BETTER THAN NOTHING because they're doing nothing to improve the electricity in Basra or other places. We still suffer from the bad electricity and the undrinkable water. Sometimes, we are without water for days -- three to seven days lately."
