Country Abbreviations

IRQ is the three-letter country code of Iraq, and IQ is the two-letter country code of Iraq. The two-letter suffix is used in top-level domains on the Internet as .iq.

Media

The political lines of conflict and religious loyalties are also reflected in the media landscape, so that there is hardly any independent reporting. Journalists are often intimidated, threatened or murdered. The autonomous region of Kurdistan has its own mass media. – Press: Most of the two dozen newspapers appear in Baghdad; they are often supported by political parties and religious communities. Important daily newspapers are the state-run Al-Sabah and Az-Zaman (London), Al-Mada, Al-Mashriq (both Baghdad) and Hawlati (Sulaimaniya). “Iraqi News” is an independent English-language online newspaper. – News agencies: National Iraqi News Agency (NINA), Aswat al-Iraq, Shafaq News. – broadcasting: A radio station (Republic of Iraq Radio) and a television station (Al-Iraqija TV) are operated under the umbrella of the state holding “Iraqi Media Network” (IMN). There are numerous other, mostly local radio stations, as well as private television stations, which are mostly received via satellite. This also includes channels in exile such as “Al-Hurra TV” (USA), channels from neighboring Arab countries (including Dubai, Qatar, Lebanon) and the Arabic-language programs of the BBC World Service. “Kurdistan TV” and “Kurdsat” are television stations in the Kurdish region.

Industry

If the focus of industrial development before the beginning of the 1st Gulf War was on the petrochemicals and the energy sector, projects relevant to the war were given special support in the period that followed. Important branches of industry are still the processing of agricultural products, the building materials and textile industries as well as the consumer goods industry. In the 2nd and 3rd Gulf War, most of the large companies in central and southern Iraq were badly damaged or destroyed. Craft and small businesses have taken the lead in production. Iraq is endeavoring – partly with international participation – to rebuild industrial companies mainly in the areas of infrastructure (water management, transport, energy supply, communication) and in the oil industry.

Tourism

Tourism has almost completely come to a standstill since the 2nd Gulf War, but the potential for the development of international travel is very great: the main attractions are the historical sites of ancient Mesopotamia such as Ur , Babylon and Nineveh , as well as buildings from the heyday of the Islamic period Middle Ages (Abbasids).

Transportation

The infrastructure suffered considerable damage during the Gulf Wars; the restoration is only gradually getting underway again in the south. A large part of the roads (especially bridges) were destroyed or badly damaged. The length of the paved road network is around 59 600 km. River navigation on the Euphrates and Tigris, once an important mode of transport, has lost much of its importance. Shipping is mainly handled via the only deep-water port, Umm Kasr, south of Basra. The railway network has a length of around 2,300 km. An important route is the end section of the Baghdad Railway from the Syrian border to Basra, or to Umm Kasr. Due to the poor condition, rail traffic has almost completely come to a standstill. International airports are located among others

Wildlife

Large animals have largely been exterminated as a result of the wars. Only in remote areas can you still find golden jackals, striped hyenas, gazelles, antelopes, wild boars and wild asses. Jerboa, lizards and snakes are widespread, as are numerous birds of prey such as eagles, vultures, buzzards, hawks and kites, as well as chicken birds such as stone and sand grouse. The population of many waders and water birds in Lower Iraq is seriously endangered by the drainage measures of the past decades.
