Well nothing much since 2014 except it become more safe with the security situation becoming more stable that tourists are being attracted to here. Corruption still a big issue and we see more and more of these cases most of them don't get resolved unfortunately because of the authorities negligence. Lack of jobs made the people more mad with the last 4 years, protests became more often demanding of jobs in the government sectors. Water drought and the climate change started to effect our lives with no government efforts to reduce it's impact. Generally Iraq is better now people are happier than ever.
Thanks for the reply.The corruption seems to be an issue in most governments. Do most Iraqis you know think life is better or worse since Hussein is no longer in power?
Most of us here think that life here is much better now, even with all the economic obstacles and challenges.
If the people are happier, that's a starting point. I'd like to see more on-the-ground, fair coverage of your nation. It's hard to have any opinion, let alone an informed opinion, without media attention.
Please do share more, whenever and in whatever discussions you're inclined. I'm interested!
Thanks really, I appreciate your interest. I will do when the chance come.
You're welcome. Thank you, too. I've followed you so I hope that lets me learn more about you as a person, and your country, as a whole. May you be happy and well.
