Election day

today is the election day ..

in the past two months the most common conversations were about the election day as this is the most important event that we were waiting with hearts full of fear and some hope  ..

people were expecting more  violence,  Arrests for the innocents ,  blocked roads , curfew , etc

But , the situation was even worst ! villages were drowned completely to stop people of participating  , innocent guys were killed randomly, others were arrested in jails for no guilt ..  

I went today despite of everything,  Iraqis desperately want a new government , educated , strong, and loyal to IRAQ ..  

I saw interviews with people who were forced to leave their villages after their houses were drowned completely they said  " we are going to vote swimming", after swimming 

to their election stations outside the villages they found them closed !

from the early morning, Mortar fell on neighborhoods in Mosul, Salahaldeen, Baghdad and other cities ,  policemen and citizens were killed and injured ..

My family, relatives, friends and i voted today , we're determined to do whatever it takes to have a better future, we went for the sake of people who lost their houses, the people who couldn't reach their election stations, for the sake of widows , orphans , for  innocents in jails, for Iraqis that we lost since the invasion .. 

 for a better future (hopefully)  ..
