Dear Treasure of Baghdad, I have come across your blog a while ago!
Like I said above I would like to see stats of women murdered in Basra every year since 2003.
The British media outlets have been repeating this subject and chewing on it since they declared that they will 'hand over' control of Basra (they never had control, the British army officials have admitted that all they did is stay in their military bases) like the Americans they want to see Iraqis killing each other while they watch them from their military bases!
Especially now that your esteemed PM has signed a memorandum of understanding to secure long term military and economic US presence in Iraq.
'Honour killing' is a tribal custom. Please do not forget the deteriorations in Basra during the criminal economic siege 1991-2203. I feel certain that the centre of Basra is a lot different to its rural parts. Any criminal mafia that can see benefit from using a political or religious cover is going to do so.
Who brought these militias , who is responsible for the break down of law and oerder? who turned a blind eye to the the criminal activities in Basra?
Also, I feel certain of the presence of women trafficking , prostitution mafias in Basra. They are quite capable of murdering women who do not comply!
According to Hasan Juma of the oil unions, oil smuggling in Basra is big business these mafias are rich, powerful and well armed!
If you watch the Panorama programme on the link above, you will see that there has been a systematic campaign that continues to date in Basra of kidnapping academics and professionals!
Te problem in Basra is the breakdown of law and order.
The British are trying to divert attention
from the hatred of Basra people.
"More than 85% of the residents of Basra believe British troops have had a negative effect on the Iraqi province since 2003, an opinion poll suggests."
Basra residents blame UK troops http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/7144437.stm
Only accurate Stats can clarify this issue.
