Iraq. Swamp dwelling Arabs (Madan) in the Hor, living in reed houses on artificial islands. The marshes between Euphrates and Tigris, the Hor, is a refuge for outcasts, rebels and undesirables since millenia, since Sumerian times in fact. Saddam Hussein drained the swamps for military and political reasons - an ecological disaster of the first magnitude. Since the ousting of Saddam it is attempted to bring the Hor back into its original state. (KEYSTONE/Georg Gerster)
