Iraq

Gerold visited Iraq for the first time in 2025. I spent a total of seven days in Baghdad, Babylon, Samarra and Fallujah. Much of the country was still in ruins after the war. Above all, the people were still traumatised. Corruption is the biggest obstacle to rebuilding the country. I was impressed by the young people who are so eager and hopeful to develop their country in freedom and justice. I doubt that they will succeed, but I don't say anything about it.
