Iraq's reconstruction and development

[Dizer]

Bro, once the Arabs stop being assholes - I'm coming to visit Iraq.

When I was a kid in Israel, my neighbour was Iraqi Jew.

Iraqi jews are the best .. seriously, I know a few in London, great people..very nationalistic and humble. Also from what I've seen online, Iraqi jews keep in touch with their Iraqi culture and traditions, they often get together, reminisce of the old days in Iraq and sing Iraqi songs.

damn the people who kicked them out..Iraq is their home no matter where they go. Our problem is not with the jews..it's with the zionist regime..the jewish Iraqis didn't deserve what happened.

Thanks for the vids Dizer. A bit sad that first one

Takes time to get used to new surroundings, especially when you're an old person who has only ever lived in one place.

Thanks for letting me glimpse of angle of something which is rarely shown on TV (too bad).
Seems like Iraqi people are vigorously rebuilding their country now that their fate is in their hands .

Any economical projects you are aware of? What is Iraq planning to base it's economy on, other than oil?
Any industry complexes being constructed?

Since I dunno enough about this, this from someone :

Domestic tourism, local farming over vast tracts as well as local production both in process industries as well as discrete industries (just as an example prior to 2008 not a single car had been assembled in Iraq and by 2012 over 140,000 cars are assembled there with facilities for production of a larger % of components in Iraq).

Iraq also has several very large infrastructural projects underway for reconstructing the country (and increase economic activity) including the FAW grand port and revamped railway links to europe to reduce freight times from asia-europe considerably and avoid going through red sea / Suez.

Baghdad metro system moves closer to realisation


Some important notes:

The first line will be 18 kilometres long and include 20 stops. It will start from Sadr City, which will serve as a main hub, and continue to Wathba Square in the centre of Baghdad and then branch northward to Antar Square in the Adhamiya district.

The second line will be 21 kilometres long and include 21 stations. It will start from Fath Square in the Masbah area and run northward to Wathba Square. From there, it will branch westward towards the Baghdad International Fairground, where it will split into two branches, the first running towards the Mansour area and the second towards the Bayya district.

The estimated cost of constructing the metro system is $3 billion. The system will have the capacity to transport a maximum of 45,000 passengers per hour and about one million passengers daily. Construction is expected to last between three and four years.
