#Iraqvlog #marsharabs #Mesopotamia

Finally i got to The south of Iraq to the marshes! Def a must visit place when you go! there are actually inhabited homes and ive seen others go visit homes with families there living, but for some reason we went to an old abandoned marsh home, i have seen others go here and meet with local marsh families , but i didn;t get to meet any on my visit, which is the reason i love to travel, of course i met the Legend Abu Haider..one of the last of the singing Marsh Arabs! Quite some stories he had to tell. In the Saddam era, Saddam decided to drain the marshes to flush out the Shia Muslims from the area as he accused them all of Treachery during the war the 1980-88 war with Iran! He Dammed and drained the marshes to flush out the Rebels hiding in the reeds. i felt very Honored to meet Abu Hayder ( his name is spelled different everywhere i look so apologies if its wrong) Its crazy to think they lived this way for thousands of years!! Again, the history here is mid blowing!!!!
