"Doesn't
Iraq respect the citizenship of its sons? How can it, if it facilitates the departure
of such a large number, and renders those that remain such easy prey to death
by bombing, suicide, massacre and burning? We call for human rights and real
citizenship. Rights should not be protected at the whim of authorities guided
by a particular ideology, which is the cause of all of our calamities and
destruction."
In these times of suffering
and death, with six million people exiled and displaced by force or by choice,
the nation of Iraq continues to export more of its people per capita than any
other nation. The repeated migrations began in Black February
[1963] and haven’t ended since.
Those who have departed left
behind coup d'états, massacres, assassinations and wars that diminished their
brothers, relatives, friends, and set fire to their dreams of a happy and prosperous
homeland.

Doesn't Iraq (its governing
authorities) respect the citizenship of its sons? How can it, if it facilitates
the departure of such a large number, and renders those that remain such easy prey
to death by bombing, suicide, massacre and burning? Why has Iraq (its governing
authorities) neglected to devise methods of protecting its children from the evil
brute force that has killed them off generation after generation? In a single
moment, hundreds have been lost - killed in genocide and buried alive. They've
been lost in sectarian conflicts fueled by tribal chiefs and the leaders of sects.
Many who returned after 2003 didn’t stay long, quickly returning to exile. They
left because the government's citizenship project for returnees, which the
exiles had dreamed of endlessly, turned out to be a fool's mission. The dreams
of thousands of returnees melted away just hours after they returned home.
The citizenship project was wiped
out by successive governments, who snapped at its body and the dream. Citizens were
no longer seen as individuals, just numbers to be added or subtracted from the
records (of the nation and the authorities). Senior leaders and leading politicians
may object to the detention of citizens (for political reasons), but entirely disregard
the number of its sons cut down by the crimes of killing, assassination and
burnings, and act as if to question this negligence is a form of harassment!!
Iraq's citizens are mere
spectators to these violations, because the safeguarding of their rights is inconsistent
with the goals of the authorities and political parties. Issues like these are
political footballs subject the quest for power and other changes dictated by the
deals and policy goals of self-seeking officials.

We therefore call for human rights
and a real citizenship, safeguarded according to the Constitution, its rules
and its values. Rights should not be protected at the whim of authorities guided
by a particular ideology, which is the cause of all of our calamities and
destruction.
