    SUBJECT:  DART UPDATE ON AL MUTHANNA
    SENSITIVE BUT UNCLASSIFIED - PROTECT ACCORDINGLY

    -------
    SUMMARY
    -------

    ¶1.  (U) Health, security, water, and electricity conditions
    have improved in Samawah, Al Muthanna Governorate since the
    DART's last visit on 15 May, according to the deputy
    governor.  He said unemployment was now the largest
    problem.  The DART also visited with WFP, ACTED, and with
    CMOC staff.  WFP said it expected a relatively smooth June
    food distribution in the Al Muthanna and Al Qadisiyah
    Governorates.  End Summary.

    --------------------------------------------- ---------
    AL AL MUTHANNA, AL QADISIYAH FOOD DISTRIBUTION UPDATES
    --------------------------------------------- ---------

    ¶2.  (U) The DART met with U.N. World Food Program (WFP)
    staff in Samawah on 31 May to discuss the planned 1 June
    start date for the public distribution system (PDS).
    According to WFP, the Al Muthanna Governorate was prepared
    to begin distributions and there were no major issues
    affecting the PDS.

    ¶3.  (U) Flour distributions will begin on 1 June, followed
    by food commodity distributions on 2 June.  The civil-
    military operations center (CMOC) will deploy additional
    security patrols and will station teams at the distribution
    points to assist the Ministry of Trade (MOT) security
    personnel.  WFP mentioned that contracted workers were
    asking for an increase in salaries, posing a problem for off-
    loading trucks during distributions.

    ¶4.  (U) All MOT offices were functioning, and the DART
    witnessed the Ration Card Center (RCC) registering new
    beneficiaries.  As of 29 May, the grain silo had received
    3,194 metric tons (MT) of wheat grain with additional
    deliveries due on 31 May.  It had an additional storage
    capacity of approximately 7,000 MT.  WFP said an unknown
    quantity of lentils was expected on 31 May, but WFP was
    unsure if the deliveries planned for June would allow for a
    complete ration for all beneficiaries.  Milling is ongoing
    without any reported problems.

    ¶5.  (U) WFP reported difficulty in working with the MOT
    warehouse manager, particularly in identifying warehouse
    space for PDS commodities.  WFP staff stated that despite
    what it viewed as counterproductive management decisions by
    the warehouse manager, they would continue to work around
    the problem to avoid disruptions in June's distribution.

    ¶6.  (U) Management issues were also a concern in Ad
    Diwaniyah Governorate.  MOT management changes at the
    warehouse and the Grain Board were delaying the disbursement
    of emergency-payment funds to MOT employees and slowing the
    release of operating funds for necessary start-up costs and
    repairs.

    ¶7.  (U) Staff at MOT facilities reported they were receiving
    some operating supplies from Baghdad, but needed funds for
    fuel, furniture, payment of contracts, chemicals, and grain
    testing and office supplies.

    ¶8.  (U) According to the Ration Center Manager, the Ration
    Center has begun to serve beneficiaries and will register
    new arrivals from outside Iraq, as well as new arrivals from
    other governorates and those with lost or stolen
    identification or ration cards.  As of 29 May, the Ration
    Center has issued new ration cards for 15 families.

    --------------------------
    OTHER Al QADISIYAH UPDATES
    --------------------------

    --  CMOC has assisted in obtaining two air conditioners for
    the WFP and MOT offices at the warehouse and work has begun
    on installation.

    --  According to CMOC/Ad Diwaniyah, the flour distribution
    in Al Qadisiyah has begun and planned food distributions
    will begin the week of 1 Jun.

    --  Coalition forces have begun initial assessments of the
    repair requirements at MOT facilities. CMOC has informed the
    DART that repair projects will be developed for the Grain
    Board and the warehouse.

    --  WFP and MOT offices in Al Qadisiyah, Karbala, An Najaf,
    Al Muthanna, and Babil have not yet received instructions
    for the local purchase of grains.

    --  The DART has seen fake PDS item lists in Al Hillah and
    Samawah that are reportedly being sold on the local market
    for 250 dinars.  The DART assumes this may cause some
    confusion during June's distribution.

    ---------------------------
    IMPROVING PROTECTION ISSUES
    ---------------------------

    ¶9.   (U) The DART met on 31 May with the Deputy Governor of
        Al Muthanna and with the CMOC director.  Both indicated
        protection issues in town have improved since the DART's
        first visit to Samawah two weeks ago.  Coalition forces have
        begun training programs for a new Iraqi police force,
        thereby increasing the number of police on the streets and
        improving their basic policing procedures.  Community
        members have also gotten together and set up a neighborhood
        watch for many of the districts in town.  The deputy mayor
        is very happy with the support the community has received
        from Coalition forces on this matter.  The justice system is
        showing improved operations as well.  Police are properly
        arresting offenders, writing arrest reports, keeping track
        of evidence, and beginning to send cases to trial.  Judges
        have been vetted and the courthouse is being repaired with
        Department of Defense ODHACA funds.

    ¶10.  (U) In terms of reprisals, CMOC reported that there
    have not been any obvious cases of reprisals in Samawa.
    People tend to either go to Coalition forces or the
    authorities before taking matters into their own hands.
    Communities are well organized and come bearing petitions
    that request Coalition forces to investigate someone accused
    of corrupt dealings during the former regime.  However,
    there continues to be petty theft and incidents of looting,
    as well as tribal tensions.

    ¶11.  (U) According to the CMOC, there are three small mass
    graves near Samawa and one larger one between Samawa and Al
    Saman.  A Kuwaiti forensics team has traveled to that site
    to identify possible Kuwaiti citizens who were thought to be
    buried there.  The criminal investigation division is also
    becoming involved in the mass graves issues around town.

    -------------------------
    POTENTIAL REFUGEE RETURNS
    -------------------------

    ¶12.  (SBU)  There have been recent reports that
    approximately 5,200 refugees in Rafha refugee camp in Saudi
    Arabia will be voluntarily repatriated to Basra and Samawa
    in the next couple of weeks.  In preparation for possible
    repatriations to Samawa, the DART discussed refugee
    repatriation issues with the deputy governor, the Agency for
    Technical Cooperation and Development (ACTED), WFP, and the
    CMOC.  According to the deputy governor, there are between
    650,000 to 700,000 people in Al Muthanna Governorate. When
    asked if refugees would be easily accepted back into the
    community, he seemed supportive of returning Iraqis who had
    either been expatriates (he was an expatriate himself) or
    refugees, as long as they brought skills with them that
    could help Samawa build up and continue to develop.  (Note:
    this answer is generally shared by Iraqis when asked this
    same question.  End Note.)

    ¶13.  (U) On food rations, it seems as long as refugees have
    an identity card that identifies them as returned Iraqi
    citizens, they are able to register with the governorate's
    ration center for a ration card.  Overall, it appears most
    of the sectors are up and running in the city, including
    water, electricity, security, food, and health.  While many
    of the urban sectors in Samawa are functioning at pre-war
    levels, many rural areas continue to lack proper
    electricity, security, health, and water and sanitation.
    Therefore, it is critical to know the makeup of these
    returning refugees, such as the number of extremely
    vulnerable individuals, and the percentage of rural versus
    urban dwellers.

    -----------------------------------
    IMPROVING CONDITIONS IN AL MUTHANNA
    -----------------------------------

    ¶14.  (U) Since the DART last visited Samawah on 15 May,
    conditions have markedly improved, according to Al
    Muthanna's Deputy Governor.  "You can ask people if you want
    to confirm," he said.  In rural areas, 18 additional tankers
    have begun to distribute water, and in Samawah, power supply
    has increased to 50 megawatts (MW) from 10 MW following a
    "deal" the governor made with Samawah's source of power, An
    Nasariyah.  The Deputy Governor said the governorate
    requires 75 megawatts.

    ¶15.  (U) In health, the pediatric hospital recently
    installed or improved its air conditioning system, and the
    Coalition troops began providing better security at health
    facilities, according to the Deputy Governor.  One week ago,
    GOAL delivered a shipment of DART-funded drugs to the
    Ministry of Health.  On food, the Deputy Governor said
    residents had two to three months of food rations stored in
    their homes.

    ¶16.  (U) Problems remaining included "individual" security
    problems regarding thieves, and joblessness, especially
    among teenagers, according to the Deputy Governor.  He said
    youths were increasingly turning to drugs, particularly
    pharmaceuticals, such as Valium.  He also said that job
    prospects would improve once a central government in Baghdad
    was established.

    ¶17.  (U) The city council, selected by tribes and political
    parties, has ballooned to 60 members, none of whom are
    women.  The Deputy Governor said the Coalition would like
    that number reduced to 25 with members having sectoral
    expertise.  He said residents would welcome women on the
    council and said that many women served in the municipal
    government.   He suggested elections would take place upon
    the establishment of a central government.

    ¶18.  (U) The DART visited with ACTED on 31 May, a French
    agency that has been active in Al Muthanna since late
    April.  ACTED hopes to work on rural water and sanitation,
    and health activities in Al Muthanna, a governorate with one
    of the highest rural populations.  It is also interested in
    the agriculture sector.  ACTED calls water the greatest
    problem in rural Al Muthanna with many people drinking water
    straight from canals.  Most compact water units are not
    functioning, according to ACTED.  It proposes repairing or
    replacing water units, and improving the water-tanker
    distribution system.  ACTED has office space at the water
    treatment center, and will work on monitoring the water
    system with the water department.  ACTED called Al
    Muthanna's wheat yield among the lowest in the world.
    "Wheat is a disaster," it said.  ACTED blamed the problem on
    the intrusion of salty water, bad seeds, and possibly a lack
    of proper fertilizers.

    ¶19.  (U) The DART met with CMOC director and other CMOC
    representatives on 31 May in Samawah who confirmed the
    deputy governor's belief that the health sector had
    improved.  According to the CMOC director, there are
    currently no major health concerns, however oxygen is scarce
    and expensive.

    ¶20.  (U) The director also said that general fuel supplies
    were low and that prospects of replenishment were unclear.
    He said twenty tons of liquid petroleum gas (LPG) came into
    Samawah each of the last two days, providing 1,100 families
    with one bottle each.  Samawah has an estimated 150,000
    people.  The director also said that 24 tankers of benzene
    arrived last week, temporarily meeting benzene needs.
    Diesel fuel remained in short supply.  According to the
    director, the electrical supply should improve by late June
    when a third generator in An Nasariyah, Samawah's power
    source, goes into operation.
