"Those who advocate solely for destroying Hamas offer no solution about how to reduce the violence at the roots of this conflict, and will significantly exacerbate that violence in the process" Read our latest from @CH_MENAP on how ignoring the roots of violence challenges peace.

Doug is right, 20 years later, Baghdad has become a haven for money laundering projects. Political elite have flooded the city with such projects as they are benefitting from #Iraq 's budget. While in other areas, people struggle to get paved roads, water and electricity.
