An Average Iraqi

An Average Iraqi is just a fictional character whose....well, fictional. I will use this character to make a comparison between him and real human beings like myself or any one else.

Name:Hassan
Location:Baghdad, Iraq

My name is Hassan Kharrufa. I am a 20 year old Iraqi student. I study civil engineering at the Department of Building and Construction at Al-Jami3a Al-Taknologia (The Tecknology Univirsity), Baghdad, Iraq.

Less Posts for this Month

     Well, what can I say?. My mid-year exams are coming in two weeks. So my studies are taking more and more time from me. Hassan Kharrufa is a student before and after he is a blogger. Therefore, it is understandable that I will be making fewer posts on the coming days. Once a week maybe.


     Anyway, the big news in Baghdad these days are kidnapping of the daughter or sister of the Iraqi internal affairs minister, Bian Sola3`. The news are still vivid as it looks like they are trying to cover it. But with all those checkpoints around the city, it is obvious that something is wrong. One of my friends did ask them about the reason of all this. That is how I know. The city is looking just like it looked a few days before the elections, or maybe worse. There is a checkpoint in every main street. They reduce a 4-lane street to a single lane street, search the cars, and look at all the women in the cars. Looks like they are determined to find her. So far, the kidnappers have not attempted to contact the family, I think. However, they know that she has been kidnapped because the driver was found, shot.


     Most people say that the woman has been kidnapped as an extreme protest to the current fuel prizes. Although I do not think that, it is relevant. I think that if it was political, the kidnappers would have gone public with it, they have not.


     The result was, that I missed a good part of a lecture I should have attended. Great timing with the mid-year exams knocking on the doors.

Hi Hassan... it's a true story. Al Jazeera has video of her (the minister's sister) but will not show it, due to "professional and moral" reasons.

Here's a link to an article:

Iraq group sets conditions to free minister's sister

I'm not sure why Al Jazeera is holding the video instead of showing it, they show video of all the other hostages. The deamnds are apparrently the release of some dozen or so innsurgents who have been detained.

After the Exams, one has enough knowledge in their minds, to write a detailed paper on the soil analysis of Iraq. In 3 Volumes, including the mechanics.

Eid Mubarak!

Nice blog.

Iraqis are quite used to their dirt cheap gas. Is it still US subsidized to remain at 50 cents a gallon?

I hope Iraq is able to restore order in the not too distant future, and put an end to the kidnappings.

and good luck with exams, I just finished mine...good overall, but I'm still a bit disappointed.

Here is something good to read:
The Iraqi RoadMap: An Exit Plan

The bush administration should adopt this roadmap to assure giving Iraq back to Iraqis:
1- Issue a Public Apology and hold responsibility for the destruction of Iraq and the murder or Iraqis…
2- Announce A Schedule For Complete Military Pullout From Iraq: a full withdrawal that leaves no permanent bases behind…
3- Start fixing the mess caused by the war and occupation by both Paying Compensation And Bringing War Criminals To Justice…

If you're not sure if a game is compatible with your computer, use the "Can You Run It" site. The small download will determine whether your computer is setup to run a certain game. If you don't like downloading anything, Maple story 2 Mesos delete it when you are done.

If your child is using a console that has online capabilities, make sure you tweak the family settings before they have a chance to play. This allows you to protect your kids as they play buying MaplestoryM Mesos. In addition, you can set limits on chat to limit their contact with other people.

When it comes to video games, 2018 rolled over us like a tidal wave of nostalgia. Pokémon took us back to Kanto. A sequel for Shaq Fu was even announced. And for some of us, the biggest nostalgia news of all was that classic RuneScape popped back up, now on Android devices.
If completing fetch quests isn’t your ideal way to Buy OSRS Mobile Gold consider beating up on the right monsters, instead. The barren beach region north of Rellekka is home to the humble Rock Crab. These critters are equipped with tons of HP, but they’re not capable of doing much damage to you. You can bash them endlessly to earn combat XP.
If you take full advantage of these tips, you can get off to a faster, more enjoyable start in Old School RuneScape. Buff your stats, bully the Rock Crabs, and have fun! When you’re ready for bigger challenges and money-making ideas, take a peek at this video.
Have you suffered enough from lousy equipment and limited resources in Runescape that negligibly small to help you thrive in all competitions? Are you running out of time to farm and harvest due to the busy schedule? Well, here is the saviour for you to meet - MMOAH. MMOAH Runescape store provides the most resourceful products with reasonable low price and generally-30-minute delivery. If you look for buying OSRS Mobile Gold Highly recommend MMOAH Fortnite store. View more details or purchase now through clicking RS3 Golds or OSRS Golds for sale.

Which site is the best one you have ever used for Madden coins?

To tell you the truth, since playing Madden NFL 20, I have been acquiring a series of virtual currencies such as Madden Coins from GameMS. Because before that, I have already noticed other games on this website.

A great website that not only provides game item transactions to players, but also provides novice players with game experience and methods. This is not an accident, but a continuous output of content. This is what I appreciate GameMS very much.

As far as trading is concerned, it is well worth Buy Madden Coins on GameMS. First of all, the security guarantee is absolute, mainly because the price is very good, the time-limited promotion is very real, and it is worth waiting for five to six minutes. In short, it doesn't delay players from playing games.
