Another batch of over 500 Ugandan youths, most of them university graduates, have been recruited to take up jobs in the war-torn Iraq, local media reported on Thursday.

The youths are camped at Askar security service's offices, a private firm, for training ahead of their deployment, the reports said.

A training officer, Vincent, said they want 700 people for posts in Iraq and the United States of America. snip

Askar Security Service said last year that it would recruit 3, 000 people in intervals of three months. The youths are said to be on demand by companies that won multi-billion-dollar rebuilding contracts in the oil-rich Arab country.

The bulk of security contract workers in Iraq is made of former army and marine corps from the United States and Britain, but because of the increasing demand recruitment expanded to South Africa and Uganda.

Askar was last year sub-contracted by Bob Kasango's company, Hall and Partners, to recruit Ugandans for work in Iraq.

Iraq war illegal, says Annan

The United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan has told the BBC the US-led invasion of Iraq was an illegal act that contravened the UN charter.

He said the decision to take action in Iraq should have been made by the Security Council, not unilaterally.


Plus if having a job makes a persons status in a country legal we wouldn't have any illegal immigrants in this country as some suggest. Most of them are working too.
