The truth about Iraq

"What I found in Iraq after eight years abroad shocked me"

In the first of a series of interviews, Timothy Bancroft-Hinchey speaks to Houzan Mahmoud, member of the political bureau of the Worker Communist Party of Iraq (WCPI), a cofounder of the Iraq Freedom Congress (IFC) and representative of the Organization for Women's Freedom in Iraq.

What are your aims?

We have three main aims. To end occupation, to end the rule of Islamism, which is political Islam and to create a provisional government based on the will of the people expressed through their direct power.

But doesn't Iraq already have a government that was elected democratically?

In reality this government is just an assembly of the most right-wing reactionary sectarian Islamist groups. Its members were picked in advance of the invasion and in no way can it represent the people. This government is being based on ethnic and religious divisions, not on the bases on the concept of equal citizenship. In no way can it solve any of the problems of Iraq because it is part of the problem and part of the chaos, being part of the US agenda.

...

Two years after the invasion, what is the real situation today in Iraq?

What I found in Iraq after eight years abroad shocked me. In two years, the American invasion force and the puppet government has sent the country and Iraqi society back one century.

I entered through Syria because Baghdad airport is too dangerous, out of control, and there are armed groups of men everywhere, all over the country. There are hardly any women and the ones you see are forced to wear veils.

I had to travel around with a bodyguard because of being a woman and I refused to wear the veil. The country is in chaos. Nothing works. The infrastructures were targeted by the American military, they were destroyed and the state has collapsed.

...
So, you are anti-Saddam, anti-resistance and against the puppet US-led regime. And what do you defend?

We defend the rights of workers, women and people in general; we are against the oppression of people. We built our own progressive front in Iraq. Through the Iraqi Freedom Congress we are trying to organize an international dimension for our movement to bring freedom to all Iraqis. We are trying to mobilize all those who can make a difference around the world and in Iraq.

We want women to be free to work, study, and walk around without being told what to wear.

We want to present a provisional government which represents the rights of Iraqi workers, women and human rights and which will restore civil society, guaranteeing freedom and equality for all.
