A group of unknown armed men attacked Dr Mohammad Jasim Al-Juboury, a faculty member at Imam Adham College in Mosul, 2nd of July, 2012. The armed group opened fire on Dr Al-Juboury near his house in Mosul city, killed him on the spot and run away.
The Association of Muslim Scholars in Iraq condemned this crime in a press release and considered the action as a hideous crime.
Targeting and assassinations of Iraq's intellectuals and scientists have been started with the American occupation of Iraq in 2003 and never stopped. This criminal ( Educide) is still going on, bleeding Iraq’s future and destiny.

Not many of you might have heard about "International Journal of Contemporary Iraqi Studies". It was established few years ago and it is "a peer-reviewed, tri- annual, academic publication devoted to the study of modern Iraq." It used to be edited by Prof Jaqueline Ismael and Prof Tareq Ismael. It is now edited by William Haddad and Ibrahim Aouda.

One of the problems which Iraqi academics face is the impossible task of accessing academic Journals.
Intellect publishers of academic journals has started to offer FREE ONLINE ACCESS to scholars in some countries including Iraq. To claim free online access e-mail: journals@intellectbooks.com stating institution and country. Intellect will then send a short form for completion by her/ his librarian.

El Ministro de Educación Superior y de Investigación Científica de Iraq promulgó un decreto con el fin de cambiar el currículo de estudios islámicos en las facultades de historia de las universidades públicas de Iraq. El cambio contiene mucha carga política ya que reaviva un conflicto político que se remonta catorce siglos atrás. Lo último que Iraq necesita en este momento. Los académicos debaten sobre todo tipo de cuestiones, no hay nada malo en eso, de hecho, es un sano ejercicio, pero imponer una cierta lectura de antiguos textos históricos bastante sensibles es otro tema que no sirve más que para echar más leña al fuego y contribuye a crear una división más profunda entre los iraquíes. La pregunta es ¿a qué interés obedece este cambio y por qué el gobierno iraquí lo quiere implementar en este momento? Un momento en el que las universidades iraquíes carecen de recursos, los libros y el material de estudio está agotado, no hay equipamientos en los laboratorios, asesinan, amenazan, detienen y acallan a los profesores que, por lo tanto, huyen del país, y encima de todo el gobierno crea otro gran problema.

BAQOUBA, Iraq (AP) — Outside the crumbling elementary school, goats feed on trash strewn across the front yard. Inside, the ceiling is rotting, toilets don’t work and students scrunch hip-to-hip behind narrow desks.
Millions of dollars in international aid to build and repair Iraq’s dilapidated schools have for years gone unspent. Now, Iraq’s government risks losing the funding as the World Bank weighs whether some of it would be better used elsewhere.

The Sunni academic community in Iraq faces discrimination by the Shiite-led government, according to allegations published on a website endorsed by Ghent University in Belgium.

The Iraqi government is accused of restricting students’ enrolment for postgraduate studies, locking Sunnis out of key jobs at universities, requiring academics to retire against their will, and replacing experienced professors with people with party affiliations or fake university qualifications.

The General Inspector in the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research Nassir Al-Juboury declared that thousands of forged certificates and documents have been issued since 2004.

The Minister of Higher Education and Scientific Studies in Iraq issued a decree changing the curriculum of Islamic studies in the history colleges of the public universities in Iraq. The change is highly politicized; reviving political conflict that goes back more than 14 centuries ago, the last thing Iraq needs now. Academics argue about all kinds of things, there is no problem with that, in fact it is a healthy phenomenon. But imposing a certain reading of ancient historical events that are highly sensitive is another matter; it aims at nothing else other than adding more fuel to fire, and contributes to creating and deepening divisions among the Iraqi people. The question remains in whose interest that is, and why the Iraqi government is doing it now. While Iraqi universities suffer from lack of sources, books and documents are drained, labs are empty of equipments, professors are assassinated, threatened, arrested, and hushed thus fleeing the country, and on top of all that the government creates yet another big problem.

Ali Al Adeeb is still not satisfied and continues the destruction of what's left of Higher Education in Iraq.
Still no condemnation from UNESCO. This man is a fraud, has a forged diploma but he doesn't care. Subservient US & UK universities treat him with the greatest respect. Here's his latest achievement

Este es el testimonio de un profesor que ha pasado casi cuatro décadas en una de las universidades públicas de Bagdad y que ha accedido a escribir su testimonio con una condición: que sea publicado bajo pseudónimo. Cuando insistí en el por qué, la respuesta fue: “porque no quiero que me detengan bajo el artículo 4 (de apoyo al terrorismo) y porque no quiero que me obliguen a marcharme de Iraq”. Por lo tanto, he tenido que anular toda indicación sobre quién, dónde, cuándo y qué especialización tiene el testigo."

ادانة بوش وشركاؤه بجرائم التعذيب
ترجمة: د سعاد ناجي العزاوي

KUALA LUMPUR, 11 May 2012 - The five-panel tribunal unanimously delivered a guilty verdict against former United States President George W. Bush and his associates at the Kuala Lumpur War Crimes Tribunal hearing that had started on Monday.

LO QUE TRAS NUEVE AÑOS DE OCUPACIÓN SIGUEN PADECIENDO LOS ACADÉMICOS IRAQUÍES. MAYO DE 2012
Hoy el EDUCIDIO es todavía una durísima realidad en Iraq, por lo que seguiremos insistiendo en la introducción de este vocablo en los diccionarios de crímenes internacionales. Educidio es una palabra compuesta por las palabras «educación» y «genocidio» para referirnos al genocidio de los segmentos profesionales de la sociedad iraquí. Sólo queda esperar que tanto la Corte Internacional de Justicia y la Corte Penal Internacional juzguen la cuestión de un posible educidio en Iraq.

As we already wrote, there seems no end to EDUCIDE in Iraq.
On May 3rd , 2012 Special Security Forces arrested Dr Abdul Aziz Shaaban , former dean of Law College in Diyala University and acting faculty member in the college currently.

الاميّون يسيطرون على التعليم في العراق

شهادة استاذ في احدى الجامعات العراقية الحكومية امضى مايقارب اربعة قرون في الوسط الجامعي طالبا واستاذا ، وقد وافق على الادلاء بشهادته على شرط ان لا يتم كشف اسمه. وعندما الححت بالسؤال عن سبب ذلك كان جوابه : " لا اريد ان يعتقلوني وفق المادة الرابعة (دعم الارهاب)، ولانني لا اريد ان جبر على مغادرة العراق". ولذلك فأن اية اشارة الى مكان وزمان وشخصية الشاهد او اختصاصه قد تم حذفها.

KUALA LUMPUR, 9 May 2012 - The third day of the Kuala Lumpur war crimes tribunal hearing saw the prosecution present its submission to establish that the accused parties are indeed guilty as charged for the Crime of Torture and Crimes Against Humanity.

EDUCATION IN IRAQ IS CONTROLLED BY THE IGNORANT
This is a testimony of a professor who has spent almost four decades in one of Baghdad public universities, and who agreed to write the testimony on one condition: that it is published under a pseudonym. When I insisted why that is, the answer was: “because I do not want to be arrested under article 4 (supporting terrorism), and because I do not want to be forced to leave Iraq. As such, I had to delete any indication of who, where, when, what specialization of the witness are.

KUALA LUMPUR, 8 May 2012 - The Kuala Lumpur War Crimes Tribunal heard the testimony of the prosecution’s third witness Jameelah Abbas Hameedi, who used to be the Head Chief of the Cooperation Unions in Kirkuk. The 57-year-old Iraqi told of her torture in the Baghdad Airport and Abu Ghraib prisons in 2004.

KUALA LUMPUR, 7 May 2012 - The Kuala Lumpur War Crimes Tribunal commenced hearing the second charge of Crime of Torture and War Crimes against former U.S. President George W. Bush and his associates namely Richard Cheney, former U.S. Vice President, Donald Rumsfeld, former Defence Secretary, Alberto Gonzales, then Counsel to President Bush, David Addington, then General Counsel to the Vice-President, William Haynes II, then General Counsel to Secretary of Defense, Jay Bybee, then Assistant Attorney General, and John Choon Yoo, former Deputy Assistant Attorney-General.

WHAT THE PROMINENT IRAQI ACADEMICS ARE STILL GOING THROUGH AFTER NINE YEARS OF OCCUPATION - MAY 2012
Today the EDUCIDE is still a harsh reality in Iraq. Therefore we will continue to insist upon the introduction of this word in the international dictionary of crimes. EDUCIDE is a composite of education and genocide to refer to the genocide of the educated segments of the Iraqi society. It can only be hoped that both the International Court of Justice and the International Criminal Court will pursue the question of possible educide in Iraq.

First of all Iraq is still under American-Iranian occupation. The situation is getting worse inside Iraq. I am sure you have heard about the ten thousand young men who were taken into custody by Malikis thugs as precautionary measure the week of the Arab Summit Meeting in Baghdad.

During the nineteenth session of the Human Rights Council in Geneva, the BRussells Tribunal got the chance to read a statement about the situation of Iraqi children (With many thanks to Naji Haraj for giving us the chance to defend the Iraqi people, in this case the most vulnerable segment of society: the children.)

While Arab and international media dedicate countless hours of airtime to Arab uprisings from Tunisia to Syria, Iraq's movement for change is almost completely ignored. Nevertheless, the push for Iraq's freedom and independence amid increasingly corrupt and sectarian forces has managed to survive.
