The Iraqi Finance Ministry said Tuesday (August 7th) it started compensating citizens affected by terrorist operations that hit the country in the past three months.
"The ministry finished auditing the files of citizens who endured human and material losses because of terrorist crimes," Finance Minister Rafie al-Issawi told Al-Shorfa.
"At the beginning of next week, banks will compensate the families of all those who fell victims of terrorism," he said.
People whose homes, shops or cars were destroyed will also be compensated.
"Compensation will be determined based on the extent of property damages, while the families of victims will be given no less than 10 million Iraqi dinars ($8,600)," al-Issawi said.

The terrorist operations that are occurring on the territory of the State of Iraq have caused many economic damages. Numerous bombings that have occurred on the territory of the State of Iraq need the Iraqi Government’s compensation to pay whether for the dead people’s families who died during the bombing incident or compensate the injured in the despicable explosions. It is a fair compensation to have a decent treatment in order to get a quick recovery. Also, the Iraqi State and its government should bear all the material burdens to quickly rebuild such important public buildings which are serving thousands of citizens daily. Thus, these procedures will be a very large burden on the State of Iraq especially since it is going through severe economic crises for which it is not ready yet to experience such calamities. Therefore, such bombings when it hit the governmental buildings in general caused a lot of harm and damage to the Iraqi citizen. We stress on how important it is to get rid of all these terrorist movements and the extremist groups, as well as eliminate their presence in the State Iraq through our valiant and heroic Iraqi Forces and the government that could adopt many ways to get rid of these terrorist movements which are not all necessarily the solutions in which the armed forces are used. However, we can fight terrorism and extremism by using the soft power that will change the culture of the Iraqi people and the culture of many extremists who are convinced that just like that they are achieving the interest of the State of Iraq when they are actually doing anything but harming and damaging the State of Iraq and causing the country all the kinds of harm .

A sectarian government that has no goodness in it! The proof is the poverty, need, diseases and lack of services.
