Mekhmur

We visited Mekhmur a couple of days ago for some purpose. In Mekhmur there is a refugee camp for refugees from northern Kurdistan. This camp has been subject to turkish propaganda. This led to that UNHCR after pressure from turkey shut down their office and their minimal help to the refugee camp. After a huge investigation by several parts, among them the Iraqi Army and the Americans nothing were found. It was prove that this is a civil refugee camp and no military camp. This investigation led to that UNHCR opened their office here again. Their life situation is however terrible and many get sick just by living in their houses.

This amphitheatre has been built by the people them selves.

Lot of kids packed in a small class room.

The houses have worlds poorest standard and many get diseases while living there.

These refugees from northern Kurdistan in Mekhmur camp has fled the genocide of the Kurds by turkey. Their villages were burnt down and the people were killed. Those who could fled and those with poorest possibilities ended up here and are now again object of turkish terrorism.

This is the guerilla Turkey is afraid of!
