Desperation, corruption, and foreign influence are turning young Iraqis into cannon fodder for Russia’s army, dying in a war that has nothing to do with them.
This is appalling. In so many Arab countries, there seem to be very poor prospects for youth, unless they are well connected, even qualified youth. It's a depressing situation. You're lucky if you can get a menial job that pays very little. It's good that IBB is trying to help address that with start-up support, etc. I know that the dysfunction of many economies in the Middle East is multifactorial, but a lot could change if they could be made to work. Since they don't, this is the result.
