Statement by UNICEF Iraq Representative, Peter Hawkins and UN
Special Representative of the Secretary General for Iraq, Ján Kubiš
Since the beginning of this year, 189 children have been killed and a 301 injured due to conflict in Iraq.
BAGHDAD, Iraq, 3 December 2015 - "The ongoing conflict in Iraq is taking a heavy toll on the country’s most vulnerable citizens – its children.
"In
one incident on 26 November, eight children were reportedly killed and
six injured during a military operation in Al Halabsa village, near the
city of Fallujah. Most children were under 10 years old. The incident
happened at night, when people were likely to be in their homes. The UN
is verifying an additional 15 incidents registered in October and
November of attacks on civilian areas in Fallujah, by all parties to the
conflict. UNAMI and UNICEF remain very concerned with the safety of
Iraq’s children who continue to suffer from the effects of hostilities
across the country. Ongoing operations in Ramadi, Mosul, Tala’afar and
other conflict-affected areas in Iraq raise the risk of additional grave
violations of child rights.
"Since the beginning of the year,
a total of 189 children have been confirmed killed and another 301
injured as a result of the conflict in Iraq. In addition, hundreds of
children in conflict-affected areas have been prevented to access basic
services, such as health or education due to attacks on schools and
hospitals. For instance, in Ramadi alone a total of 45 schools have been
destroyed or damaged as a result of conflict since last year.
"UNAMI
and UNICEF urge all parties to the conflict to abide by the principles
of proportionality and distinction in the course of military operations,
to protect children and other civilians from the effects of violence to
the maximum extent possible, and to respect the civilian nature of
schools and medical facilities.

We women of Tadhamun condemn the persisting practice of arbitrary arrests by the Iraqi security forces. We condemn their arrests of women in lieu of their men folk. These are 'inherited' practices. We are alarmed by credible media reports of the Green Zone government’s intentions of executing hundreds of Iraqi men and women.

Samarra Minrate built in 852 AD
Building of 1 500 massive police station !
From the angle of the photo, it is possible to calculate that the complex is being built at E 396388 N 3785995 (UTM Zone 38 North) or Lat. 34.209760° Long. 43.875325°, to the west of the Malwiya (Spiral Minaret), and behind the Spiral Cafe. While the point itself may not have more than Abbasid houses under the ground, it is adjacent to the palace of Sur Isa, the remains of which can be seen in the photo. While the initial construction might or might not touch the palace, accompanying activities will certainly spread over it.Sur Isa can be identified with the palace of al-Burj, built by the Abbasid Caliph al-Mutawakkil, probably in 852-3 (Northedge, Historical Topography of Samarra, pp 125-127, 240). The palace is said to have cost 33 million dirhams, and was luxurious. Details are given by al-Shabushti, Kitab al-Diyarat. Samarra was declared a World Heritage site by UNESCO at the end of June. The barracks could easily have been built elsewhere, off the archaeological site.-- Alastair Northedge Professeur d'Art et d'Archeologie Islamiques UFR d'Art et d'Archeologie Universite de Paris I (Pantheon-Sorbonne) 3, rue Michelet, 75006 Paris tel. 01 53 73 71 08 telecopie : 01 53 73 71 13 Email : Alastair.Northedge@univ-paris1.fr ou anorthedge@wanadoo.fr
