- This video is a tribute to analysts who claim that Iraq’s national budget is not enough to solve the country’s problems. These men cut the oil pipe—watch how the black gold (oil) is robbed, while people in #Basra drink poisoned water. #IraqProtests #البصرة_قضيتنا #البصرة_تستغيث
- A powerful video illustrating the story of #Basra, its wealth, living conditions, corruption, protests, government violence, toxic water, poison cases...and the talent of the Iraqi youth (I am proud of you Ahmad Alsaad). #IraqProtests #انقذوا_البصرة #البصرة_تستغيث #البصرة_قضيتنا
- CC: @AdelaAlaboudi, This woman from #Basra has a message for you. She called you a thieve. Protesters gathered money to buy medication for a fellow protester poisoned by the water the @IraqiGovt delivers to residents. #IraqProtests #البصرة_تستغيث #انقذوا_البصرة #البصرة_قضيتنا
- Activists from #Baghdad delivered water bottles to #Basra residents and protesters. People from #Fallujah plan to join the humble initiative to aid the people of Basra. #IraqProtests #انقذوا_البصرة #البصرة_تستغيث #البصرة_تحتضر #البصره_تنتفض #البصرة_مدينة_منكوبة
- Activists traveled from #Baghdad to #Basra to cover the protests and living conditions in the province. They were arrested, beaten, and denied travel to return home. Can @UNIraq help? #IraqProtests #انقذوا_البصرة #البصره_تنتفض #البصرة_تستغيث #البصرة_تحتضر #البصرة_منكوبة
- This man claims to have tested water delivered to residents and bottled water in #Basra. The lab results indicate that water contains human remains, toxins, and cancerous poison. Can @UNIraq confirm or deny? #IraqProtests #انقذوا_البصرة #البصرة_تستغيث #البصرة_تحتضر #البصرة_منكوبة
- This young man broke down in tears & ripped his shirt off in mourning for lower turn out in protesters. He called on people to protest against toxic water in #Basra, lack of electricity & employment. His friend was shot while protesting. #IraqProtests #انقذو_البصرة #البصرة_تستغيث
- “I be tryna laugh with the bros 'bout the opps** that we know But they can't take a joke, 'cause it's not one” (Aubrey Drake Graham, 2018). ——— **Opps is short for opposition.
- This is how children in #Basra celebrated Eid with their families—their “amusement park” is staged next to a landfill. Where is the @IraqiGovt from all of this? How about @UNIraq? #IraqProtests #البصره_تنتفض #البصرة_تستغيث #البصرة_منكوبة #البصرة_تحتضر #البصرة_تموت #البصره_تباد
- This is another river in Abu Alkhaseeb area—Iraq’s southern farmlands. Rivers turned pink from toxins and pollution. In case the @IraqiGovt doesn’t know what’s happening in the south, I hope this video is educational. #IraqProtests #البصرة_تستغيث #البصرة_تحتضر #البصرة_منكوبة
- This is a river in Abu Alkhaseeb area in #Basra, known for its farmlands. Rivers turned pink/red from toxins. This man stated that this is all happening under the watchful eye of @IraqiGovt & no one is doing anything to save the people.#IraqProtests #البصرة_منكوبة #البصرة_تستغيث
- CC: @Mu_AlSadr, This man has a message for you. He said that you either join the people on the streets or stay at home and represent your father there. He also asked, “how do you speak aganist the @IraqiGovt and then you sit with them?” #IraqProtests #العراق_ينتفض_ضد_الفاسدين
- [Political] “Parties are ISIS,” protesters chanted in #Basra, adding “He who doesn’t protest, should wear his woman’s scarf,” in an attempt to call on men to join the protests. #IraqProtests #البصره_تنتفض #البصرة_مدينة_منكوبة #البصرة_تحتضر #البصرة_تستغيث #البصرة_منكوبة #البصرة
- CC: @HaiderAlAbadi; @Mu_AlSadr; @nourialmalikiiq: This woman from #Basra has a message for you. She told Abadi to leave; called you thieves; and called on more men to join the anti-corruption protests. She sustains her orphans with government flour filled with lice.#البصرة_تستغيث
- Look at the bacteria living inside the water pipes in #Basra, Iraq’s richest oil province. @UNIraq, @IraqiGovt, and @HaiderAlAbadi, would you drink it? #IraqProtests #البصره_منكوبه #البصرة_تستغيث #البصره_تباد #البصرة_تموت
- #Basra residents state that the government is pumping water directly from Shat-al-Arab to their homes and that the water contains bacteria and cannot be used. #IraqProtests #البصرة_تحتظر #البصرة_تستغيث #البصرة_منكوبة #البصره_تباد #البصرة_تموت #البصرة
- This man says, “In case you ask ‘why do you protest?’ This is the answer,” while cleaning his water tank. The dirt is the left over residue of the water once stored in the tank. #IraqProtests #البصرة_تحتظر #البصره_منكوبه #البصرة_تستغيث #البصره_تباد #البصرة_تموت
- More water from #Basra. @HaiderAlAbadi if you ever visit Basra again, I dare you to drink from the same water you expect the residents of Basra to drink. @IraqiGovt where are Basra’s petrodollars? #IraqProtests #البصره_منكوبه #البصرة_تستغيث #البصره_تباد #البصرة_تموت #البصرة_تحتظر
- Animals in #Basra are dying. Some are getting sick from the water, while others refuse to drink it altogether. This is the same water delivered to and shared with humans. #IraqProtests #البصره_منكوبه #البصرة_تستغيث #البصره_تباد #البصره_تنتفض #البصرة_تموت #البصرة
- The @IraqiGovt is delivering water to #Basra residents containing dirt, bacteria, and salt. When the people protest, the government fires live bullets. #IraqProtests #البصره_منكوبه #البصرة_تستغيث #البصره_تباد #البصره_تنتفض #البصرة_تموت #العراق
The Third Estate Sunday Review focuses on politics and culture. We're an online magazine. We don't play nice and we don't kiss butt. In the words of Tuesday Weld: "I do not ever want to be a huge star. Do you think I want a success? I refused "Bonnie and Clyde" because I was nursing at the time but also because deep down I knew that it was going to be a huge success. The same was true of "Bob and Carol and Fred and Sue" or whatever it was called. It reeked of success."

US and puppet government betray the Iraqi people
Iraq's US-installed puppet government is betraying the Iraqi people and providing them with water unfit for humans and animals.
