Marshlands
A thin wet sky, that yellows at the rim, And meets with sun-lost lip the marsh’s brim.
The pools low lying, dank with moss and mould, Glint through their mildews like large cups of gold.
Among the wild rice in the still lagoon, In monotone the lizard shrills his tune.
The wild goose, homing, seeks a sheltering, Where rushes grow, and oozing lichens cling.
Late cranes with heavy wing, and lazy flight, Sail up the silence with the nearing night.
And like a spirit, swathed in some soft veil, Steals twilight and its shadows o’er the swale.
Hushed lie the sedges, and the vapours creep, Thick, grey and humid, while the marshes sleep.
Emily Pauline Johnson

Today, April 21st, marks the 32nd anniversary of the Ahwari Genocide
Tumblr media
Ahwaris (more commonly known as Marsh Arabs) are the indigenous peoples of the marshlands. Their lineage goes back to the Sumerians (the world's earliest known civilization).
In 1992 the Ba'ath party in Iraq, led by Saddam Hussein, initiated a series of attacks and aggressions against the Ahwari people to quench the 1991 uprising that started in southern city against Saddam Hussein and his party.
Drainage, desiccation and destruction of the marshlands. Murdering & kidnapping 50 thousand people. Exclusion of Ahwari people from society and branding them as 'savages' that know nothing.
All that is not to say it started with Saddam, it began at least a century before that, wthen the marshes were divided into two parts by the Sykes-Picot Agreement.
The genocide of the Ahwari people is still ongoing till this day by the current government, with severe drainage and desiccation that Al-Hawizeh Marshes (Iraq's 2nd largest Marshelands) are facing since 2021.

It’s been quite a while since I’ve been on here! I can’t guarantee I’ll stick around, but I thought I would share my new read while I’m here - Marshlands by Matthew Olshan. It’s the first book I’ve ever read that was written entirely from the main characters perspective. It’s also a pretty short read, only around 200 pages I think, which I have recently discovered is the best length of book for me.
