Baghdad/Al-Masala Al-Hadath: Political forces began making promises to end the issue of the displaced and close it completely, even though they realize that the political and security situation does not allow the issue of the displaced to be resolved despite the passage of 9 years, which began in the summer of 2014 when the terrorist organization “ISIS” invaded a number of Governorates of the country.
The government of Prime Minister Muhammad al-Sudani, through the Ministry of Migration and Displacement, set September 12 as the date for closing the displacement file in all governorates of the country, stressing that it will consider non-returning families integrated into the areas where they are located.
Field sources say that, despite the financial allocation, about 90 percent of the homes of the displaced in their original areas are unfit for living, according to what the Iraqi Parliament announced two months ago, due to the Sunni political forces’ seizure of a large portion of the funds.
The spokesman for the Ministry of Immigration, Ali Abbas Jhakir, said that his ministry “is working to voluntarily return all displaced persons to their original areas, especially the displaced from Sinjar, as it included the voluntary returnees with free rations of white oil, in addition to income-generating projects with the aim of improving their situation after their return to it.” “.
The return of the displaced in Iraq has become a political trade and electoral propaganda. Politicians have exploited this issue to achieve political gains and make false promises to the displaced, without taking any real measures for their return.
There are many examples of this. Before the recent Iraqi parliamentary elections in October 2021, many politicians from the component promised the return of displaced people to their areas of origin, but after the elections, no real measures were taken in this regard.
There are also many election campaigns that focus on the return of displaced people, with the aim of attracting votes from displaced voters. These campaigns often make empty promises and are not based on any realistic plans for the return of the displaced.
This situation causes frustration among the displaced, who feel that they are merely political tools to be used for partisan gains.
