Reminded yesterday about the impending, if not current drought in Southern Iraq; alas that article is behind a pay-wall. Instead there is this BBC report after rioting in Basra:https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/world-...-in-basra-iraq

There are a couple of earlier reports too:https://www.aljazeera.com/news/middl...193258236.html and http://www.bayancenter.org/en/wp-con.../980987665.pdf
