This has broken me down to the core' I have no words but prayers for them all... " what ever you do to people good or bad finds its way back to you. My prayers are with you Iraq, Syria , Palestine & all muslims.

[@antzontoast]

As Salaam alaikum. I'm ashamed to be a 'white' European.

[@antzontoast]

What has that got to do with the price of eggs?

[@chandinimohan2795]

antzontoast western invaders and european colonists are the main problem of peoples(asia africa or middle east) suffering so just dont show off your whiteness

[@antzontoast]

That was my point: I'm acknowledging I'm a product of Colonialism, a child of Apartheid and yet you attack my 'whiteness'. What does that make you; a racist?? You seem to be everything you hate!

[@chandinimohan2795]

antzontoast thank you for your insight very kind white european male

[@internationaldirector2917]

So sad what I can offer but prayers. God bless all of you affected by Iraq and Syria civil war.

[@naurafaiz8291]

I wish Iraq would go back to what it was years ago,also Syria.

[@naurafaiz8291]

[@carocarochan]

+Naura Faiz westerners are bastards! they ruin everywhere they go those sick fucks!

[@muzzammir1987]

[@debasishmukherjee6866]

America is liable for all these. Where are the WMD?

[@burtonl7239]

They executed the WMD. Its name was Saddam Hussein.

[@chandinimohan2795]

Burton L saddam was an evil guy the problem was he cultivated an evil socitey and removing the later was not an act but a process which the us was not prepared for

[@sajidrhm]

May Allah help them ......................... really I felt sad for some time

[@praguhbis]

I am so sorry for them :-( . I know how difficult it is.

[@asiahassan6401]

i know how war is like. that night the war happened i didn't sleep because i live in Mogadishu when the war happened. i know how children , woman and elderly suffered

[@MrBagabwa]

a very heart wrenching documentary!! Tks to Aljazeera for this eye opener,which dispels all the notions that Iraqis are now living in better conditions than during Saddams regime...and to crown it, the hypocrisy of that oath right at the end,smh

[@EternallyGod]

Hakim Balala Change doesnt happen overnight, it seems crazy that there is no one that can run a country in Iraq...like the people there that had the jobs before actually didnt know how to do them at all. You cant blame anyone for them not knowing anything, it is their fault for being leaches.

[@SirajulIslam-ux5og]

***** your translation is the same🙉🙉🙉

[@georgep1358]

breaks my heart hearing all these evil happenings

[@sarahsarah5445]

[@muzzammir1987]

I am not arab but I feel that they want to finish the arab sunnis

[@EternallyGod]

m If they wanted to finish them then they would all be dead by now. The rest of the world doesnt ride around on donkeys with sticks.

[@rubakamya5983]

Kirk Wilson What's wrong with riding around on donkeys?

[@ismadhibto3774]

indeed :(

[@411tiff]

All very sad, but these ppl need to be a little more grateful that they are not living in tents in some refugee camp slum w/o even the basics...they need to leave the idea and memories of their previous privileged lives behind and consider themselves lucky to be receiving the help they get from the NGO's and that they and their family are still alive even if they don't have all that they had before...

[@kaseemdeenshazkasim8466]

Bismillah, Inshaa'Allah, Somebody should these SISTERs and Students and the SENIORS, TOOSAD, I wish all well, Salaam, Sukhran, Khuda Hafiz, Aameen in Aramaic as in the LORD's PRAYER, ToOnCAD

[@sawaii4964]

remember this name Nayirah al-Ṣabaḥ (نيره الصباح‎) and find out yourself who she is.

[@lilypotpot4241]

where are this people now? How can we reach them?

[@MariaHarshana]

it's very sad but I have to agree with +ElizaUK Samad & +Vannuge Jiiko there should be birth control specially when they already have son & daughter..I pray all the wars be over & peace all over the world aamiin

[@taqwamahdawi7785]

Maria Haringan Sanah Birth control! Is this a solution for their misry life?

[@MariaHarshana]

Taqwa Mh I'll pray for you too

[@Mystic2504]

A lot of Natural resources, thats all America need

[@sixtyfivewatts65]

America.

[@neuralvibes]

Their hardships seem mostly to revolve around the fact that they lost their husbands in a culture and society where women need to have male guardians in order to do even the most trivial things, such as get a passport. That's really the sad part about this documentary, their hardships as such are otherwise not much different from what millions of their compatriots are experiencing...

[@faisalf1736]

Their hardships are caused by the Coalition invasion, they all reiterated that several times. Even the husbands are facing the same hardships, what do you have to say about that ?

[@nesrinemilian8432]

The fact that this was the only thing you got from the video shows just how entrenched in stereotypes your thinking is- stereotypes that you obviously developed from your western culture which is the reason that this chaos started in the first place. Their hardships are because of American Colonialism. Period! Not to mention the fact that the men are also facing the same hardships. It has nothing to do with not having a male guardian and everything to do with the fact that Americans exploit other countries and peoples, then turn the blame on someone else. check your privilege and refrain from being so ignorant.

[@JENNiE1225]

I hope these innocent people should not be discriminated just because of the country where they belong.

[@vannugejiiko1067]

I can see the life there it's too hard but why can't they stop having more kids I see the lil boy their still sexual active if I am not wrong.

[@janiceimnochefgetmeoutofhe4418]

+Vannuge Jiiko People living in poverty have little or no access to family planning and birth control and i think it is daft to think that poor people should not or are not going to have sex

[@chestersabajo8744]

Europe 2050

[@strongboi5966]

You can thank the US for that.

[@sajithkumar6934]

The People have to suffer, you have a great leader before, but you guys fight for that leader with western people.... so sad to see this documentary, my pray with you. But the world has to think what the America and the new Iraqi government give to the people... still the people is unsafe..

[@klinkof]

One of those womans husband looks having happy time being idle smoking and chilling while sending his own wife for low paid job

[@abbyanwar781]

If watch the program properly you would have saw that this man's family members were murdered that's why he's depressed traumatised and sad like she said that he didn't want to get married when she asked him first because he had lost his family she begged him so he can help her to look after the son she left behind in Iraq get your facts straight .

[@rahamsaid2936]

MAY GOD ALMIGHTY MAKE THEIR LIVES AS TERRIBLE & FULL OF TROUBLES WHO DID WRONG TO THEZ POOR.

[@burtonl7239]

Life is pretty sweet in the US. The stores are always stocked and if you work hard, you can always enjoy life. It is as if Allah blesses America itself. Why else do they keep winning?

[@indian2003]

Why cant she just pray to her god?

[@minigogoli2114]

I just dont understand why the poor keep having kids!!!!

[@hichamsaadelhadi8781]

the american F**** dream

[@dyrstyrer]

who were they before the war in iraq? they had a kitchen bigger than their new intire apartment, so i assume they vere some kind of hussain sympatisers where the husbond in the family had done some Questinalble jobs, thats is how you get to be well payed in a diktatorial state.

[@adityabaskar2743]

+martin pedersen this is the attitude that makes europeans and americans the most hated people in middle east mind your business your country has enough problems

[@dyrstyrer]

i dont disagree Denmark have problems, but would you say that Denmark has more problems? if you do then you are just stupid, we have corruption and crime like any other place on this damned planet. but if you say they had nothign to do with anything in iraq, then you are either naive or stupid.

[@nabil399]

+martin pedersen you simply ignorant

[@FatimaKhan-ix1hn]

The main problems are Islamic countries are not united no one helps no one wile the rich Arab countries live in glamour and there Arab brothers and sisters around the world are suffering they are such hypocrites

[@acevintura5102]

Birth control

[@hfgmhhgsh2121]

America after Trump.

[@EmmaAmandaMilli]

Less kids = less trouble people have to be wise instead open legs and say oh god helps then when no help comes they start moaning out if you cannot look after yourself how will someone cope with that much kids

[@puzzai]

Emma Amanda Milli " when you don't know nothing about their pain it's very easy to throw around opinions like candy" My God your general compassion needs a lot of work 🙈

[@TDOTEMPIRE]

Emma Amanda Milli No point in replying... But remember that they had all their kids when they had money. So chill

[@ajaykumar-fc9tx]

emma u r right
