Iraq splintering into three regions in 2015- Sunni, Shiite and Kurd
03/26/2015
The situation on the ground with the intolerance of the previous Maliki government in Baghdad, the rise of Islamic State, and the Kurdish state in the north, have created conditions on the ground that are leading ordinary Sunnis and Shiites in the 2.5 million plus refugees to see the division of the country between Shiite, Sunni, and Kurdish as permanent partition of the country. Beyond the partition is the wider sectarian conflict between Shiites and Sunnis that the conflict in Syria-Iraq has created, and its spread to other parts of the Middle East including Yemen., drawing a coalition of Arab states led by the Saudis and Turkey opposing Shiite Iran.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
