One in three children in Iraq lack access to safe drinking water, while climate change is intensifying pressure on the country's already strained water resources, UNICEF's representative in Iraq told Rudaw on Friday.
The former head of Baghdad’s correctional facilities recounted to Rudaw the final moments of high-ranking Ba’athist leaders before their executions - including Ali Hassan al-Majid, who held key security posts under the former regime and commanded the genocidal Anfal campaign against the Kurds in the late 1980s as well as the brutal suppression of the 1991 Shiite uprising.
Walid entered the world in 1981 just as his mother took her last breath. Her limp body fell to the ground from the gallows as she lay lifeless on the cold, hard ground. She was executed by the toppled Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein’s half-brother, Barzan al-Tikriti despite pleas to delay the sentence until after delivery.
A Neanderthal whose 75,000-year-old remains were discovered in the Kurdistan Region’s Shanidar cave likely died from a wooden spear wound after surviving a severe facial injury, a British archaeologist told Rudaw, saying the findings offer rare insights into violence, care and burial practices among prehistoric humans.
Former Deputy Assistant to the US President and Senior Adviser for Energy and Investment Amos Hochstein called for a more rational US policy toward the Middle East, stating that the ongoing war with Iran has placed both Washington and the region at greater risk.
