Rain is falling in Baghdad as well as some provinces in Iraq. Rain is still falling while writing this blog. It
has been raining since the morning. Most Iraqi people don't want rain, though it means life and they do like it. Rain is so useful for plants, animals as well as human beings. Ifeel happy for it though it doesn't for many others.
In Iraq,
we have been suffering for the last few years from lacking rain and water. As a consequence farmers lost their crops. Thus, Iraq has become dependant on importing rather than exporting crops. The point I want to mention is that today's raining was harmful for most Iraqis in their point of view in the spots that it rained in. The power supply is off as the transformers of the electricity are blown up and some towers collapsed. The water flow in faucets is cut as it depends on electricity to be pumped, the cell phones connections are disconnected as the towers put by them depend on power supply and the streets are full with water as the waste holes are broken or blocked under the pavement.
Thanks Allah that this heavy rain falls today as it is a day off otherwise chaos will be more than this in other days.
People blame the ministries of municipalities, electricity, communication, and water resources for corruption, as the services that these ministries should supply the citizens with are not available or deficient.

At this special moment of wonderful waether we must forget blaming and enjoy by this great gift from the god that washes our homeland and removes the dust to return the green view of our land.So enjoy by these specail days like me من ارض السواد مع فائق احترامي
