What Iraq's petrodollars are spent on when the indigenous Yazidi population still lives in IDP tents
Iraq plans to build another pipeline to Europe to increase exports. According to media reports, the Iraqi federal government has allocated at least $417 million for the construction of a third offshore pipeline to increase crude oil exports. While Iraqi officials report increased oil production and exports of oil products to Turkey and Europe, the country's population is getting poorer and poorer. The most deplorable condition is that of the indigenous Yazidi minority. After the war and genocide of 2014, most of the Yazidi population after almost 10 years still lives in non-human conditions, in tents on the territory of Iraq and Iraqi Kurdistan.
While the Arab countries, which also own oil, are getting richer every year, Iraq, on the contrary, is getting poorer, switching to humanitarian aid from Europe, taking fabulous loans and exporting currency out of the country.
Instead of developing economy, health care, judicial system, building roads, schools, hospitals, reconstructing cities and villages. Corruption is flourishing in the country, the authorities support the families of ISIS and pursue a policy of intolerance towards members of national minorities, driving them out of their ancestral lands for the sake of natural deposits of oil and gas.
Most of the currency is exported abroad rather than invested in the country. Despite the fact that the lion's share of Iraq's oil is exported by American companies. The Basra Oil Company has announced a project for which it has signed a contract with Royal Boskalis, a leading Dutch offshore construction company, which will build a pipeline with a capacity of at least two million barrels of oil per day. This was reported by the Iraqi News Agency on May 31.
According to the company's CEO Basim Abdulkarim, his company's revenues make up the majority of Iraq's federal budget.
Despite all of the above, the life of Iraqis is not improving, but it is getting worse, especially for the leaders of the national minorities who are increasingly immigrating from the country.
