Is it right to be importing workers?
Should the focus by the Iraq government be on getting the Iraqies back to work?


said Ganesh Kumar Bhagat, 22, “Nobody should come to Iraq.”

The migrant workers burst angrily on to the street yesterday morning to protest against a Kuwaiti-based catering company that they said had promised them work. They accused Najlaa International Catering Services – a subcontractor to Kellogg Brown and Root (KBR), a main service provider to the US Defence Department – of failing to pay their salaries and keeping them in inhumane conditions
.

The agents charge anyone looking for work a fee to transport them to Iraq, provide accommodation en route and an entry visa in return for a job.

Previous fears of human exploitation within this chain prompted the US military to issue an order in 2006, entitled Trafficking in Persons, which was designed to prevent any form of human-trafficking from taking place.
