Daesh and the Corruption:
two faces for the devil
ISIS (Daesh) and the corruptions in Iraq are vicious cycle
leading to each other. Since 2003
following the downfall of Saddam Hussein regime and the US occupation of Iraq until
now corruption became endemic and multiple.
Hundred of billions of dollars disappeared due to the corruption
according to reports by the international organization such as the TransparencyInternational.
The corruption become so endemically widespread in all
aspect of the government and private sectors.
Bribery and similar become usual practice in the land registration,
certifications, police, security forces,
oil, and other services. It crippled
the country’s already damaged services such as the electricity, health and
education. No single services escaped
the corruption including the existed anti-corruption body itself which is under
the influence and pressure of the political parties and even the role of law and
courts.
The political parties are themselves indulged in corruption by
many different ways. This corruption
killed more people that the ISIS war as a result of lack of services, lack of road
safety, and absence of safety measures where it needed.
Corruption in Iraq made the state very fragile and weaken
the government. It needs multiple wars much
more difficult than the ISIS war to clear it.
This war needs transparency and should start sooner otherwise more
decline will result. Even the money
paid for constructions by international organization and states were lost.
The Iraqi government should use neutral international
investigators with the help of the UN so as to avoid pressures from the big
heads of the corruptions on any internal investigation bodies. It should start with these big heads who were
on the top of power. It has been said
that the Iraqi PM got at least now 300 files of major corruption in front of
him.
