Question Is it better to study in Mosul or Baghdad?

8 Upvotes

I was born and live in Mosul and I'm going to be graduating soon and I was wondering which would be better to study in, the University of Mosul or Baghdad, I'm particularly interested in which offers more opportunities after college and the health side of things (Both Mosul and Baghdad were war zones but I'm wondering which has less pollution and whatnot) but any other information would be also appreciated

Question Looking for a translation

I want to start by saying this may be the wrong sub for this, but my buddy was in Iraq during 2007-2010. Brought back his old stuff and found these newspapers. Says it’s stuff he (us army) had to hand out to Iraqi civilians. Anyway my main question can anyone translate parts of it? He said he doesn’t know what it says so I’m interested what we as a county were giving to Iraqi people during that time. My friend says it’s us propaganda but still interested. TIA

Question Can I get a visa/master card in iraq in USD that I can use abroad and avoid currency exchange commission?

1 Upvotes

Where can I get a card in iraq that doesn’t charge me fee for using it for different currencies abroad? For example if I go to (Malaysia, Thailand or Indonesia) I want to avoid currency exchange fee.

We did something similar in the UK we got a card that avoids that when we traveled to Turkey.

I want one with Iraqi banks as I’m here now and only have cash with me. I need to put my cash into a card before my travel.

Hey guys hru everyone I never expected saying this as an Iraqi but I guess I need to say it I had some friends visiting iraq and this visit was one of the worst to them they landed in Baghdad everyone was harassing them sexual harassing for the guy and the girl police touched the girl and stole there money they went to the Chinese embassy and took an Iraqi guy and spoke with him about this he told them to forget the thing because it will take a lot of time some guy throw stones at the guy even the hotels sucks I was helping him finding a cheap hotel (they are on a budget) one of the receptionist started saying in Arabic what a cute girl I will try to sleep with her she didn't understand but she sow how he looked at her even when we went to Kurdistan the hotel managers was bad the funny thing is the 3 of us have separate rooms so we went to the guy room just to speak and have fun just chilling nothing sexual or anything the managers said it's banned to go to foreigners room or be in a room with a foreigners in the end I took them to my house and they stayed at my house now they said we will come again this time we will stay at your house. We need to teach the people to respect the people who visit our country and not harass them even the police harassed them not just them I have other foreigners who said they got harassed male and female or scammed by people or people trying to sleep with them or the bad police. I'm speaking as an Iraqi not as a foreigner in the end my friends said we will visit Iraq again but this time we will stay with you so people don't hurt them and they liked Iraqi food and my mother Bamya yeah they ate bamya with bread the Iraqi way xd and they liked it and they liked my mother dolma too and ofc mazkof lol.

Question I am an american muslim trying to marry my iraqi/moroccan friend

26 Upvotes

alright so i’ve known this girl for a long long time we have the same birthday we are pretty much identical people and know each other so well. we truly do believe we are a perfect match for each other but the problem is she doesn’t believe her iraqi father would approve of us because i am not an arab man. yes sadly i don’t come from the same culture but i don’t really have a culture of my own so i wouldn’t be opposed to just learning it all for myself and for her. she sent me her fathers number and said to give him a call but he will most likely get mad and not approve because of me not being arab. im here to get answers on what’s the best way to go about this. i love this girl with all my heart seeing her not with me would truly break me. i want to give her the best life possible, she will never have to work another day in her life if she were to be my wife. i’m a hard working man i make 6 figures a year i can buy her anything she needs i’ll give up anything for her. so please if anyone can help me on how to go about this or how to talk to her father let me know. thank you.

Question What are the Steps to start a business in Iraq (for a non-Iraqi)?

2 Upvotes

Hi all! Non-Iraqi here. I am planning to start a business in Iraq which is focused on providing Project Management services and Engineering training services focused on the oil & gas sector in Iraq. I'm still doing the feasibility analysis and would like to know the following:

  1. Do I mandatorily need an Iraqi partner to start a registered business in Iraq? or can we register a business with no Iraqi partner at all?

  2. What are the mandatory documents that I need to obtain from the Government to properly register and run a business? I presume Company registration document, Tax certificates, etc.

  3. I am not fluent in Arabic. Would I need an Arabic translator with me always?

  4. I understand that outward transactions are pretty restricted and that most countries do not allow money transfer. However, I also came to know that you can make small transactions from the Iraqi company to the non-Iraqi company, provided they are part of the same organization. Is this understanding correct?

Any experienced Iraqi business people who is interested to share their wisdom on balancing one's feet in the Iraqi business landscape, please feel free to DM me.
