Shafaq
In the cafe we met with Hassan Murad Salim, who returned from exile two months …

after the fall of the former regime ...
Hassan Murad Salim said: (I have got six Martyrs of my family and my relatives who have been eliminated by the former regime, and yet nobody heeded to them and we are not able, to investigate their fate. Besides the misfortunes of the alive people from us mostly make us forget the tragedy of the dead).
Another citizen did not say his name for fear the reach of the silencers murderers and thieves said : (After  they had got us out of our home by force and threw us across the border, we came back today to retrace some of our rights, including our house which was taken over by a person who threatens to kill me in case I raise a lawsuit to get it back, and here I am today thinking that I would return with all members of my family to the Diaspora, what will be my reward from the house after killing all the members of my family ?)
The story of citizen Hamdia Ibrahim Mohammed and her husband, Mohammed Abdul Ali Salim is a model of faithfulness and sharing the suffering in the days of adversity.
Hamdia Ibrahim paints one aspect of the Faily tragedy by saying : (When the  former regime elements  came to displace my father and all my family members  they had asked my husband to divorce me on the pretext of my Iranian subjection while my husband was  bearing the Ottoman identity but he refused to divorce me . so they fired him from his job , for he worked in the Ministry of Interior  with a rank of corporal, and he accompanied me to exile,  sharing me the days of the ordeal that is remaining to this day, we came back to the homeland after the fall of the former regime, hoping in getting  the free and dignified lives, but our hopes have gone with the wind. My husband did not regain his job nor got the retirement right .He is sick and unable to work, All of that is as a result of negligence of successive Governments that govern Iraq after 2003, and you are aware of the difficult circumstances in which we live in this old house, which is full of humidity not to mention the value of the rent by $ 300 thousand dinars per month, I have six daughters and I, too, also no longer able to work. Enough talk of the paradise that the Faily Kurds promised after the change. We have no helper except God.
