Iraqi Dinars

This was about the lifestyle and happenings in Kuwait from 1983 to 1990.Like any other Islamic country, Friday is observed as a rest day in State of Kuwait. People gathered in a particular location frequented by specific nationality. Each nationality had a place of rendezvous for their families, relatives, boyfriends, girlfriends or same nationality comrade. It was the place for them to meet, eat/dined, chat and had fun that was not against Islamic Laws. Most women wore lots of jewelries from necklaces, earrings, rings, brooches and other ornaments made of gold and diamond. They wore jewelries that were solid and heavy not to mention wearing them one on top of the others at the same time. Gold Souk or gold shops can be found pretty much adjacent to one another. You can find more gold souk than eating places. Since gold souk was everywhere in Kuwait, Wearing gold was like a fashion that everyone wore jewelries. Kuwait was a safe place before the war.

The safe and happy life in Kuwait ended when Saddam Hussain invaded Kuwait by surprised. It happened in the early morning of August 2, 1990. Residents were preparing to go to work when the news came in the morning on television set. There were soldiers shooting each other at the borders of Kuwait. There were hundreds of war tanks passing through the main road with thousands of Iraqi soldiers. Despite what was happening outside, expatriates tried to live as normal as they can. Most British, Americans and other European nationals fled the country via Saudi-Arabia and other possible route upon hearing the news. Others were caught by surprise and didn't make it to leave the country. Iraqi soldiers went into each and every hotel in Kuwait and asked for the list of guests staying in their respective hotels. Other businesses in Kuwait tried to operate normally as they used to and employees were paid in Iraqi Dinars for services.

After a week or two, groups of trucks and cars going from house to house loading furniture, electronics, clothes and others. Lots of cars were also left behind by the owners. There were lots of war atrocities during the Gulf War. The hotel had only 6 months supply of food from the storage. After two weeks, shortage of food was becoming apparent. The remaining group decided to leave Kuwait and had to pay 2,000 Iraqi Dinars just to drive out of Kuwait to Iraq. The driver was an Iraqi with an escort along side with him. Refugees took bars of soap and punched a hole and created a vacuum inside where jewelries were hidden, then patched the hole with same soap pieces. Others who had put their jewelries in shampoo bottles. were later on been discovered. Iraqi soldiers had two check points before reaching Bahgdad. Escapees were advised to bring blankets along to protect them from unpredictable weather. Most of the personal belongings were left behind except for blanket and a couple of clothes that were carried easily since there was no way of knowing what was going to happen upon leaving Kuwait. It took refugees more than 10 hours to reach Baghdad.

Today, it is a component of the Iraqi security forces tasked with assuming responsibility for all Iraqi landbased military operations following the 2003 invasion of Iraq. The Army was rebuilt along U.S. lines with enormous amounts of United States Army assistance at every level. Because of the ongoing Iraqi insurgency, the Iraqi Army is designed to be an objective counterinsurgency force for a period of time until the insurgency is diminished to a level that the police can handle. Thereafter, the Iraqi Army will undergo a modernization plan which includes purchasing more heavy equipment.

Iraqi Women $29.95 Nadje Al-Ali challenges the myths and misconceptions which have dominated debates about Iraqi women, bringing a much needed gender perspective to bear on the central political issue of our time. She traces the political history of Iraq from post-colonial independence, to the emergence of a women’s movement in the 1950s and Saddam Hussein’s early policy of state feminism. The book also discusses the increases in social conservatism, domestic violence and prostitution, and shows that, far from being passive victims, Iraqi women have been, and continue to be, key political actors. Following the invasion and occupation, Al-Ali analyses the impact of Islam on women’s lives and argues that US-led calls for liberation may in the long term serve to oppress the women of Iraq further.

The Iraqi Refugees $28 In the years since the US-led invasion of Iraq, over 4 million Iraqis have been forced to flee their homes, in what amounts to one of the largest people movements in modern times, far exceeding the Palestinian outflow after 1948. Despite media reports of an improved security situation in Iraq, the majority of refugees are still not prepared to return. The social, economic, political and security consequences of the Iraq refugee crisis are huge. In this rigorous and timely book, Joseph Sassoon explores the underlying trends of Iraq's refugee flow: which class, ethnic and sectarian groups have gone - and are continuing to go - where and how. Based on extensive original research, he examines the economic impact of this exodus on Iraq itself, and on the host countries of the region: Jordan, Syria and Lebanon. He analyses international policy on the refugee issue, and assesses the options for return and resettlement. 'The Iraqi Refugees' is both the first and the definitive guide to what will come to be seen as one of the most significant issues affecting the entire Middle East.

Iraqi Freedom $3.95 For almost half a century, the SEALs have answered their nation's call to battle. And now the Navy's best are going to war five-hundred miles from the nearest sea--to stem the rising tide of violent terror in a volatile desert land. The intel is sketchy; the battle lines nearly impossible to untangle. But a veteran SEAL team knows what its mission is in the remote mountains of Iraq: to diffuse a terrorist threat that is taking a savage toll in blood, both soldier and civilian. But, though allies and enemies are often indistinguishable in this nightmarish conflict, and even the most carefully planned strategies can explode without warning, the SEALs "will" prevail . . . or die fighting. And they will "never" leave a brother behind.

Iraqi Security Forces $103.56 Iraqi Security Forces (ISF) is the MultiNational ForceIraq umbrella name for military, paramilitary and civilian law enforcement entities that serve under the Government of Iraq. The armed forces are administered by the Ministry of Defence (MOD), and the Iraqi Police is administered by the Ministry of Interior (MOI). Since the toppling of the Saddam Hussein regime, the Iraqi Security Forces have been rebuilt with substantial assistance from MultiNational Security Transition Command Iraq. Since the implementation of the U.S.Iraq Status of Forces Agreement on January 1, 2009, the ISF are responsible for providing security and upholding law and order throughout Iraq de jure, with some MNFI support until late 2011. The Iraqi Army, in particular, is one of the most trusted national institutions of Iraq. While generally capable in a internal security role, ISF deficiencies have been identified in enabling functions, such as, e.g., logistics and intelligence. In highend conventional operations, ISF capabilities are currently limited by lack of fire support and air power. There are also concerns regarding corruption and sectarian agendas within the force.
