Dictator's downfall is a disaster for Palestinians in Iraq.
(From South China Morning Post)
Byline: Sarah Smiles in Baghdad
Darweesh Fatayar, 64, sits downcast on a fraying sofa outside his new family home, a tent, in a Palestinian refugee camp in Baghdad.
"My whole life has been a struggle," says the gaunt man woefully, brushing flies away from his sun-blackened face. "I always felt I was worth nothing because I wasn't in my country, Palestine.
"Now I live in this castle," he says, gesturing to the tent that he shares with his wife and six teenage children, who spend the blazing hot nights together sleeping on the floor.
Mr Fatayar is one of hundreds of Palestinian refugees who have been made homeless since the fall of Saddam Hussein's regime. Only days after the war ended, their Iraqi landlords ordered them off the properties, some brandishing weapons.
In recent decades, the landlords had been forced by Mr Hussein's government to rent their properties cheaply to Palestinian refugees, often for less than US$1 a month. When the war ended many saw an opportunity to seize them back.
