30% Of Iraqis Displaced From Anbar Province Have Returned In The Last Two Months
Amazing…
Anbar, Dec 8, (VOI) – In a stunning turnaround that has left all local and national leaders “shocked”, according to Baghdad interior ministry spokesman, 30% of the displaced families in the Sunni Anbar province returned home over the past two months alone, a spokesman for Anbar’s tribal awakening council said on Saturday.
Until this Spring, Al Anbar was ruled by Al Qaeda group Islamic State Of Iraq, and it’s capital, Ramadi, was known to the press as both “the most evil” and “the most dangerous” city in the world.
“Many displaced families returned to their homes in the cities of Ramadi, Falluja, Hit, Haditha, and Aana over the past two months because of the improvements in the security situation,” Sheikh Falih Abu Risha told the independent news agency Voices of Iraq (VOI).
“Efforts are underway to provide all returnees with their needs and ensure a normal life for them,” Abu Risha indicated, calling on those still displaced to return to their cities of origin in the province.
