Basra resources exploited, yet Basrawis neglected

"Saddam neglected Basra too after 1991. How ironic and sad. Thanks Dad for the forward. Iraqis must be aware of what this government has (and has not) done.

Dear all,

Salam to you

I am writing and feel very sad to what is happening in Basra and to Basrawi people…. they are totally ignored …….. the city has the reserve of:

65 Billion Oil barrels

3.2 Trillion Cubic feet of natural gas

Producing 1.2 million barrel of oil per day ( = 120 million US dollar daily income to Iraq )

How much spent on Basra:

Nothing"
