When I said seven years Iraqi people need somebody like Saddam you didn't believe me, Let me tell you my little story about my seven years in Iraq working three years in Al-mansour Melia Hotel and four years in Al-Rasheed Hotel all those hotels was five stars and international. I came to Bagdad in 5/1988 young under age southern boy running from war in my home land Sudan to another war in gulf, if you ask me why? there was no other way out, war between Iran and Iraq was very bad, three months later Qumaini 0f Iran Stop the war that was in 8/8/88.To make very long story short some mouths later I got a job in Al mansour Hotel as a steward one mouth transfer as bellboy infant office, to work as bellboy you meet every kind of people most of them Iragi VIP, in 1990 Saddam went to Kuwait after he saw prince of Kuwait saying in T V he is going to make Iraqi women to be sleep by Kuwaiti men for one Dinar I saw it myself, at that time If it was me I will do the same thing, I will go to Kuwait and kick the hell out of their King, that is what they call it you insult something to do with dignity. Saddam was in Kuwait kicking the hell out of them every body who was living in Kuwait have to go to their country though Iraq but not American or western, they were prisoner in Al-Media Hotel where I was working as a bellboy it became home for 400 of them with their families they became about 450-500, Al-Media hotel was closed to receive anybody from out. I got to know many westerns ambassadors whom were in Kuwait I remembered Spain's ambassador asked me to where I was from when I told him from south Sudan he asked if there is North Sudan, I said no Sudan is one country but there is religion war in Sudan, then he said I am ambassador I know the problem of Sudan very well, if you are going to stay in Iraq you will die because they are going to bomb even this Hotel, I told him I don't have any money to go home better for me to die here he said if it is about money here is money go home he gave 1000 US dollars that was good man, the next morning when I got to hotel I went to his Room he was not there as ambassador they realist him left for Jordan. I knew there will be war before Iraqi themselves Saddam were telling Iraqi people there will not be war and if there is war it will be mother of war they will be the winner, then reals all westerns. I was sleeping on seven floor of Al-mansour's staff building at 2:00 when F16 came to destroy Al-Rasheed Post office on Alrasheed st. which was 100m from Melia's staff building, Iragi didn't know what is call night the light went off it was hell coalitions are bombing Bagdad the night turn to day light, I remembered the ambassador words asking myself why I did go now I am a dead man walking, at morning I went to hotel to get some food or gas mask which they gave to us and trained us to use it if there going to be comical. I can see building bombing and hear the sound of war plane but I never saw signal one with my nicked eyes, from bellboy I became like receptionist, every Iragi guy have to go to war just me in reception and girls. and got a room in hotel. after two weeks American bomb the radio station which was 100m from hotel at said I got a room I became deaf, I couldn't hear for three days Bagdad became dark black of oil's smoke Iragi barn it Kuwait, I have good contact with former Iraqi's Ambassador in Tunis and laler andandlaleterter Germany his name was Abudlajabar Aldurri, at that time he became Saddam's Adviser living in Hotel with his family I asked him he is living hotel he told me that because American can bomb every building Iraq but they never bomb the hotels I asked him why he said because they know all internationals journalists are live in those hotels, thats why he is here with his family, I felt good at that day never go out from hotet and never tell anybody else, after someday when he find-out I am living in hotel too he his body gurd to the my room for his brother's family, now I have to get safe place for myself I put in my mind I will never get out of hotel I can sleep even in WC then getting out of hotel, now every VIP started bring their families to hotel plus Tariq Aziz family,now I am not allow to be in Hotel after job or WC, the war was very bad outside there, I went to my friends whom are working in Al-rasheed Hotel and slept there the next morning on my way out of hotel security asked me if I am working in Al-rasheed hotel when they found-out I am not, I got message not go there again, I went to my work it was dark gass smoke every were very difficult to breath then I got something like Azma, I went to Abudlajabar to help me to find safe place to sleep he gave me a letter to go to Al amiria shelter so I get place there Iraq was out of telephones I went to Al.amiria shelter gave a letter to the boss then get a bad in Alamiria shelter free food fresh ear-conditions four days from work to Alamiria shelter feeling good,freshgurd at the last day I came to find-out that they changed the securities and put republican gourd they don't want to talk to me ether some of them I used to see in Hotel one of them knew me telling his friend this is the boy working in Melia hotel it night now we let him tomorrow the guy say no I started to cry
two minutes trying my best at I got strong message from him that if I am not going to disappear in one minute he is going to put me in the place I will never like to be in Iraqi langauge, I left the place working on foot about two hour to get to hotel I went to sleep in music room, wneverfromminumunitthen weak up at morning to hear the news that American bombed the Al amria shelter and killed all 400 families were there then I knew I am will not die in Iraq again I deiced to go back to staff building to my room on seven floor and slept for rest of two weeks war I can open my window try to see f16 bombing...If I ask how does the earth and our bodies work? How is it that people just appeared out of no where? Why do people have verginity? Why do we dream at night? Why are women weaker than men but can cook and take care of kids better and know how to do housework? If you can answer these questions with sense. Maybe you should go to Iraq and live there for a little while...when you see crazy things, maybe then you'll have second thoughts. If you have guts, you'll put my email on your page so other's can read it and think more. Trees and figures are not proof, you have to experience it. So my people this is little part of my story of seven years in Iraq.
