Nearly two million Iraqis who fled to Syria and Jordan are not willing to return to their homes. Recently the Iraqi government has arranged a bus from Damascus to Baghdad to to bring Iraqis back. But most of the people who returned to Baghdad, not because it was safer but because they didn’t had other place to move. They had no money in Syria or their visas had expired. The exiled Iraqi know it well that it’s hard to find job, build their homes and mixing in the community. To be very sure, the misery of the refugees is social and economic in nature. The Iraqis who have came back to Iraq are normally left with no permanent housing, no reliable livelihood, no community support, and no government aid.
Mohammed Salman al-Dlaimi, Sunni man had been tortured by National Guards in 2007, only because he is a Sunni. There are plenty of stories of violence, sorrow, death threats, suicide bombings and tortures against the Sunni Muslims who dared to come back in Iraq. The most tragic part of this story is that the refugees who have left Iraq now face a miserable life, as Syria and other neighboring countries are exhausted to manage them and seek to expel many of them. And for those who are seeking shelter within Iraq can face rejection from the host communities whose residents may themselves be threatened with displacement.
