| In Iraq, centuries-old black community still on the margins |
| 2022-06-03 |
| [Rudaw] Adnan Abdelrahman shows off the drums he learned to play at age 12. He belongs to Iraq's centuries-old black minority, guardians of musical traditions but relegated to the margins of society. Here comes the Reparations Train! Centred in the city of Zubair, near Basra in the far south of Iraq, the community has its origins in East Africa. Like other remote parts of Iraq, Zubair is a place of poverty and decaying public services, where dusty roads are lined with simple cement houses. |

| #4 Yes, I doubt we would be reading about it unless it involved some sort of monetary commitment. BTW. I spent a little time over there. Don't remember seeing any of those people or hearing about them either. |

| #3 Are we allowed to send them some type of pandering reparations to assuage our collective guilt over people we knew nothing about, or do we only owe that to the transgender ones? |
