    Liberated provinces: we want to postpone the local elections 6 months to arrange our situation


     Baghdad / Wael Ne'ma 

    The provinces that have been under occupation are refusing to hold provincial elections before the return of the displaced and to provide a secure environment that guarantees the voter's freedom to vote.
    In accordance with the recent Federal Court decision to refuse to extend the date of the parliamentary elections, these provinces are obliged to accept constitutional timing, but are at least trying to delay the holding of local elections. 
    Most of the provinces that have just emerged from the organization's control have collected signatures demanding local elections at another date until the return of the displaced and the reconstruction of destroyed cities. 
    The government needed 19 months to return less than half of the displaced to their areas of origin, but has not compensated any of the injured so far. As are still intact 8 large cities announced by the House of Representatives areas of disaster, in which about 200 thousand homes for destruction. 
    The destruction and lack of financial support, coupled with security and clan tensions, have prevented more than 3 million displaced persons from returning more than 5 million to 700,000 civilians displaced since 2014, according to the Ministry of Displacement and Migration.
    The House of Representatives voted on Monday to hold the parliamentary elections on May 12 after the decision of the Federal Court. 
    "There are two options on the date of the provincial council elections, the first is not to intervene on time, and the second is to present two dates for this date or to postpone it for six months," parliament speaker Salim al-Jubouri said after the decision.

    The will of the voter 
    For his part , confirms Abnaan Jarba, a member of the Nineveh provincial council, that " the provincial council decided to postpone local elections while ensuring the return of displaced persons and the reconstruction of the cities." 
    More than 2 million and 122,000 Ninewa IDPs have not returned to their homes. 
    According to data from the Ministry of Immigration, there are more than 542 thousand returned to the province, out of more than 2 million and 665 thousand people, which means that the return rate is only 2%. 
    Al-Jarba believes that the process of returning the displaced will take several months. "It must be accompanied by the reconstruction of the destroyed cities," he said. 
    Nineveh officials estimate the destruction of 12,000 houses in the Old City alone, while the percentage of destruction in the city's right-hand side is more than 95 percent.
    As the local official asserts, without creating these conditions: "Elections can not be held, whether local or parliamentary, because they will confiscate the opinion of the voter who wronged the displacement." 
    More than 8,000 people are missing, according to Ninewa officials, and an estimated 10,000 people are killed in the province. 
    Ninewa officials estimate the province's need for more than $ 20 billion to rebuild destroyed cities and compensate people whose homes have been destroyed. 
    "We tried to postpone the parliamentary elections, but we failed," said Abnayan al-Jarba, a member of the Nahdha bloc that formed the Nineveh government in 2013. 
    Parliament called yesterday, according to deputies, the government to provide a safe environment for the elections and the return of displaced persons, and rely on electronic voting in all regions.
    Some lawmakers believe elections can be held in "IDP camps", but there are other problems related to co-existence between Arab and Yazidi villages in northern Mosul, which could hamper elections. 
    Three thousand Yezidi are missing in Ninewa, and some Yezidis accuse Arab tribes in the vicinity of Sinjar, in cooperation with "Daash."

    Abdel-Moneft 
    and Diyala, the provincial council confirmed several months ago that the province is not ready to hold elections in the near future because of the lack of a sound environment that guarantees the voter's freedom to participate in the ballot. 
    "There are large numbers of displaced people and weapons that have been smuggled into the hands of gangs and groups claiming to belong to the popular crowd," Ammar Muzahim al-Jubouri, a member of the Diyala Forces Alliance, told al-Mada. 
    More than 342,000 people have fled Diyala in 2014, more than 175,000 of whom have so far returned, leaving more than 167,000 displaced. 
    "It is ironic to ask a displaced person living in a tent and destroying his house to go to elections," he said. 
    Officials estimate that there are 4,000 families in their homes completely destroyed, in addition to thousands of houses that have been subjected to varying degrees of destruction.
    Officials stress that the federal government has not compensated the affected people who are also suffering from water and electricity crisis in many areas. The parliament voted last October to consider the Jaloula area in eastern Diyala a disaster area. 
    "The process of updating voter records in Diyala does not mean that the citizen will go to vote, but for fear of cutting his salary," said Ammar al-Jubouri, the brother of MP Salah al-Jubouri, head of the parliamentary power coalition. 
    An official letter recently issued by the Secretariat of the Council of Ministers, before Prime Minister Haider Abadi to investigate, has confirmed that the staff will not receive their salaries unless they show the voter card. 
    "The next elections will not be fair in the province, unless the government fulfills the four conditions that it announced to abide by months ago.
    The government said at the end of last October that it would provide a safe environment for the elections, the return of displaced persons to their areas, the adoption of electronic voting, and the parties that are running the elections armed wings.

    Cities are unstable and the 
    same conditions The head of the reconstruction committee in Anbar, Taha Abdul Ghani al-Hazimawi, the difficulty of holding elections in the province. 
    "If the government can return the displaced and compensate the affected people, we need time to prepare the voter psychologically and morally, which takes a long time," Hazimawi said in an interview with Al-Mada. 
    Anbar has displaced more than 1 million and 461 civilians since 2014, of which more than 928,000 have so far returned, and more than 533,000 displaced people have not returned to the province, according to statistics from the Ministry of Immigration. 
    According to estimates by officials in Anbar province, there are 100 thousand houses destroyed throughout the province, 20 thousand in Ramadi, and 25 thousand in Fallujah. 
    The local official confirms that Anbar has announced more than once, that with the postponement of the elections.
    Hassan Mullah Kermiani, a member of the Salah al-Din Provincial Council, told Al-Mada yesterday that he had collected signatures to postpone the elections in the governorate because of the non-return of the displaced and the destruction of cities. 
    According to the Ministry of Immigration, there are more than 732 thousand displaced from Salah al-Din, so far returned more than 682 thousand, leaving only 50 thousand displaced. 
    In addition, 116 villages were severely damaged in Hawija, southwest of Kirkuk, during a period of occupation, and it is impossible to return the population, according to officials in the province. 
    In addition to the destruction of 1267 houses in 7 villages surrounding Tuz and Kamrli completely because of military operations. 
    "How can we expect a displaced person who lives under unusual circumstances to vote?" Asks Karamani. "There is a state of instability in the Tuz that could affect the conduct of the voting process."
