Iraqi officers protest over delayed housing land
Shafaq News – Baghdad Army officers in Baghdad staged a protest on Monday to demand long-promised housing plots, accusing the Officers' Housing Association of corruption and diverting land to investors. The demonstrators — a mix of retired and serving officers — gathered outside the association's headquarters, saying they have been paying monthly fees for four decades without receiving allocations. They estimate total contributions have exceeded 50B dinars ($38.2B). Protesters allege the association's leadership has stalled their demands while authorizing investment projects on land originally intended for members. Their complaints come as Iraqi authorities expand probes into real estate corruption. Earlier this month, the Integrity Commission in Mosul uncovered fraudulent sales of more than 4,000 plots worth an estimated 48B dinars ($38B), resulting in several arrests. Iraq continues to rank near the bottom of Transparency International's global corruption index, with property mismanagement among its most persistent problems.

Unrest looms in southern Iraq as crises deepen
Shafaq News - Babil A wave of unrest may be imminent in southern Iraq as worsening water shortages, power outages, and agricultural collapse threaten to ignite public anger, a senior Iraqi lawmaker warned on Monday. Thaer Mukheef, a member of the Parliamentary Committee on Agriculture and Water, said the growing strain on rural communities risks triggering mass protests if the government fails to intervene. 'Thirst, agricultural collapse, and electricity cuts are putting unbearable pressure on citizens,' he wrote. 'People's patience is not infinite.' His comments come amid an accelerating environmental and infrastructural breakdown in Iraq's southern provinces, where climate-driven drought, poor resource management, and failing public services have fueled displacement and despair. Iraq's rural areas are facing dramatic demographic shifts as families flee dying farmland and evaporating water sources. Livestock losses, soil degradation, and rising food insecurity are compounding the crisis, with water reserves currently at just 10B cubic meters—well below the 18B required to meet peak summer demand. A recent Forbes report ranked Iraq among the hardest-hit countries in the region, alongside Syria, Lebanon, and Jordan, warning that the drought may be the worst in centuries.
