American resentment of the lack of seriousness of Baghdad to counter the threat of the Mosul Dam
translation Mady
Despite intensifying US pressure in order tosave Mosul dam from collapse, the Baghdad government has not done much to prepare Iraqis are likely to collapse, which could cause flooding up the capital and killed hundreds ofthousands of citizens.
There were government, last month, a contract worth $ 296 million with the Italian Trevi Inc. to strengthen the dam, but has not announced any plans to save the citizens in the event of breakdown or directing them on how to behave to avoid this disaster.
Prime Minister Haider al - Abadi told about the dam, which has not been up to all citizens, advised the millions of others who live in the potential flood path that they must move to higher ground but did not give a lot of details.
US officials said that Washington feels that the Baghdad government did not take the threat seriously.According to the summary report of the US government deploy late February that 500 thousand people out of 1.47 million Iraqis are living in endangered areas along the Tigris River , may not survive the flood unless theyare evacuated, where the water will wash away a lot of unexploded ordnance and chemicals and bodies and buildings . a
senior official at the US agency for international development, said that it is possible to save thousands oflives by providing advice to citizens on how to behave in the event of collapse, "when there is a big risk you have to make sure that the people who will be affected by this danger know what they are doing when it breaks."
but instead, the Iraqi authorities underestimate the threat , as happened last month when the Minister ofwater resources , said that the chance of the collapse of the dam does not exceed one per thousand , and this is happening in all the dams of the world.
in the history of 02.21.2016 Foreign Minister John Kerry met with Prime Minister al - Abadi in Davos / Switzerland, and handed him a confidential memo from President Obama asking him to take urgent action.This is the personal intervention of President Obama shows how the fragility of the dam at the forefront of the concerns of the United States in Iraq, and reflects the fear that the collapse would undermine seeking US efforts to stabilize the government of al - Abadi, and complicate the war on Daash. There are no signs of a near collapse of the dam, but the structure was built on the ground likened to a US official Swiss cheese.
A government source said that the evacuation of the 2006 plan was updated last year , it calls for the transfer of citizens to the southern provinces, and added that the humanitarian impact will serve as a logistical nightmare and the government create a life for them kits , whether occurring in summer or winter.
the government also planned to set up sirens warning system in risk - prone areas and the use of television and the media and text messages to inform people about what is expected and how to prepare it, but has yet to get something from this.
the source said the government has consulted with military commanders on how to evacuate millions ofpeople from their homes, but then decided to leave the task of informing them of the municipal authorities.He says , "I do not think he will be informed citizens unless there is an imminent danger that the dam would collapse at any moment."
The source added that the government feels that the threat has diminished as soon sign a contract to repair the dam and the fear that advance warning could raise citizens who are already facing a security threat concerns continues, " the government believes that the advance warning was unnecessary because it increases the security tensions."
said Paul Salem, vice president of the Middle East Institute in Washington, said that Baghdad 's position onthe dam can be interpreted from the cultural aspect, where " the American approach to disaster management said is the proverb , "to be better safe than to be remorseful," either approach is represented Arab proverb "Let Anthdt for this."
says Sami behind a shop owner in Baghdad , he said "citizens are not worried about the dam. Today citizens are concerned about the politics more than the dam, if it were a matter of collapse is correct there wouldhave been some advance warning. "
Just weeks before the agency of the United Nations Development began working with the Iraqi government develop an early warning using sirens alarm system and other mechanisms but is not ready yet.
He a senior diplomat in Baghdad , said the US government is concerned about slowing Baghdad in educating citizens about the potential collapse. He says , " you can not explain this slowdown, do you interpret that thegovernment is facing a crisis or whether it procrastinating?".
facing Iraq now is a political crisis where Abadi is under pressure to perform cabinet reshuffle in his government to dismantle the patronage networks that promote graft, or step down from power.
officials and Iraqi analysts say reform of the dam 's efforts are hampered as a result of the chaotic security situation in the country 's political divisions. as suggested by some officials in Iraq that the United States overstates the danger for the rhythm of the blame for the collapse of the dam on Daash after Washington failed to find a permanent solution during the years of its occupation of the country.
after several months of local media coverage, comments Prime Minister 's Office for the dam came late February. In a statement on its display Abadi overview on the status of the dam and the plans of his government to fix it , where he explained the possible scenario for the collapse of the dam , which will see awave height of 15 meters plunging parts of the city of Mosul , within four hours, and that the water will reach Tikrit the next day on the fourth day will wave height 10 meters to the capital Baghdad. The only guidance that was issued to civilians is to move away to a distance of 6 km from the river. from: Daily Star
