Good News - Iraq: Economic Progress

Economic Hopes Soar in Ninawa Province

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) is working hard to assist Ninawa Province in becoming a major commercial center in northern Iraq.

I actually have mixed feelings about this one. Because the area is not yet quite ready, they are using a Turkish company and Turkish workers. Ideally, even the construction would be bringing jobs and money to the area. However, the airport should bring in more investment which will hopefully eventually mean an improvement in the local eonomy.
