The weapons Italian yes Iraq, humanitarian aid and development no. A boulder on the coherence of the government comes on the day of flying visit to Baghdad and Erbil’s premier Renzi urgent and interim ministers Mogherini and Pinotti on the case of convoys of weapons that within the week should leave Italy to come in Iraqi Kurdistan , the scene of the Isis violence. But it turns out that Italy interventionist and ready to load its C-130 machine guns has to deal with that until the day before had engaged in a systematic decommitment . Strabismus Italian does everything under the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Minister Mogherini: just as s’incendiava the conflict, “his” foreign ministry – which manages humanitarian aid and development aid – erased with a stroke of a pen from Iraq Italian priority .
Two months after the settlement of the minister, without a vote in Parliament, Iraq has disappeared from the radar of cooperation. The Directorate-General for Development Cooperation (DGDC) has updated the Guidelines and addresses of programming for the period 2014-2016 (read). Along with Guinea, Ecuador and Vietnam also Iraq was “ declassified “, by priority country in “ non-priority “. An exclusion that affects not formal but substantial, part of which have already occurred. The indication of priorities plays a pivotal role in the destination of humanitarian funds and development cooperation in the policies of aid credit, rescheduling and debt conversion. An area of intervention for 2014 has received an allocation equal to 385 700 000 , 64.3 more than in 2013.
Well, of this money in Iraq, according to the new schedule, will not even have the crumbs . A few days ago just the fattoquotidiano.it told the first effects of the new guide lines on the chessboard of aid. The sudden downgrading of some countries has led to an alteration in the allocation of resources provided by the last call for proposals for cooperation projects. At stake were 14500000 and € 173 proposals from NGOs. The final list contains 44 projects funded between the excluded and the variation in the course of work, there is also Iraq, the country in which today – a few months – is justified under the umbrella of humanitarian l ‘ sending C-130 loaded with obsolete weapons for the Italian army but good for the peshmerga. It was not a priority, however, the project “ A smile for children “, which organizes surgical missions to treat malformations in the face of the outcomes for children from burns and trauma of war. Thanks to 11 volunteer doctors from the NGO carries out this activity in Nasiriyah, Baghdad and smaller cities and has treated 960 children. He asked for 417 thousand euro to pursue its action in Iraqi hospitals. In the light of different priorities, the project is deemed “unsuitable” gets 55 points and ranks 82nd on the list. Priority has become, instead, arming the guerrillas .
The choice to exclude Iraq today is all the more serious in view of the resurgence of the fanatics in against civilians and non-Islamist international mobilization which Italy took part. But it is also in the light of the same criteria indicated by the Ministry for the establishment of new lines of action. On page 19 of the Guidelines criteria stand still “poverty, the serious humanitarian emergencies, the conflict and fragility in the path of democratization, the presence of minorities.” The portrait of Iraq for months now. But our country, that is disengaged militarily since 2006, has continued the work of disinvestment. While the Minister canceled Iraq from the priorities they took pictures of the money they had set aside the previous governments in the famous chords Bilateral 2007 , when the Italian government and Iraq agreed to a series of reconstruction aid and support economic development after the war. Italy had signed then a credit program for help from EUR 100 million for the purchase by the Iraqi Ministry of Agriculture tractors and Italian agricultural machinery . From 15 April, with a resolution of the DGDC, were revoked 60 million . Instead of tractors, send the weapons.
