’Iraq’s rebuilding pace remarkable’
BAGHDAD, Jan 22 : Against the odds, Iraq has rebuilt much of its shattered infrastructure at a pace few experts believed possible at the end of the Gulf War, reports Reuter.
Broken bridges have been patched, power stations are running, refineries produce cheap petrol. Oil pipelines, pumping station and storage tanks have been fixed and even Baghdad traffic Jams are back.
'No matter what you may think of the Iraqi government," says a third world diplomat, one has to admit the post-war reconstruction has been remarkable, given the difficulties.
The difficulties are United Nations sanctions which have cut off spare parts for Iraq's industries and denied It access to more than four billion dollar held in foreign bank accounts.
A United Nations team that visited Iraq 10 months ago described war damage to the economy as near apocalyptic.

At that time the country had no electricity, no motorised transport and no
telecommunications.
Baghdad residents were using buckets to draw water from the Tigris river. Horse-drawn carts replaced trucks and government ministries communicated by foot runner.
US experts were speaking In terms of two years, five years or more to repair the infrastructure.
In a rush-hour traffic Jam in Central Baghdad, those days are now hard to imagine. The pre-industrial era is clearly over — as President Saddam Hussein's government stresses.
Iraq Is back on its feet It was down but not out,' the official Baghdad Observer said in an editorial marking the anniversary of the Gulf Wars' start
One rebuilt facility or another has reopened almost every day in the past two weeks — bridges, telecommunications centres, a major oil terminal, and a dam.
Iraqi Airways began flying again on January 16 with a twice-daily service from Baghdad to Iraq's second city, Basra.
"Obviously, we are not back to normal and we won't be until we can start exporting oil again,' said a senior official.
