- Sit-in protests in northern #Basra began today near the oilfields. Residents are protesting against unemployment and dire living conditions. They also voiced their need for cancer treatment hospitals, schools, and paved roads—many of #Basrah’s roads remain unpaved. #BasraProtests
When residents of Basra demand basic human rights, what's your obligation as an American?
Maybe one thing you need to do is just to be aware. To make sure others are as well.
Maybe since our government started this illegal -- and ongoing -- war, we need to make a point to be aware of what's going on in Iraq.
The alternative is to live in your bubble.
