As an Iraqi, I do ask this question to myself a lot, what the world opinion on modern Iraq. It changed a lot especially after ISIS war, but people here generally don't value the change that much due to high unemployment rates, drought, and bossy militias.

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?

[-] lay@lemmy.zip 11 points 2 months ago

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.
