300 Nepalis trapped in Baghdad

Around three hundred Nepalis who reached Iraq lured by high-paying jobs are marooned in violence-wrecked capital Baghdad, reports Kantipur Daily.

Some 150 Nepalis from Myagdi, Nawalparasi, Chitwan, Jhapa, Syangja and Nuwakot districts who reached the war-torn country after being promised lucrative jobs by a Nepali agent working in Baghdad located Yartho Hotel and 135 more Nepalis who arrived here later to work in Global Security located in the city are not even given any lodging and proper food because of which they are forced to live in the streets with open sky as their roof nearby the highly unsafe Baghdad Airport, the daily said.

Among the stranded Nepalis one Harka Bahadur Thapa of Myagdi told Kantipur by phone that they have been given only one meal a day consisting of two breads from the past one week. He said their problem has been further compounded by the fact that there are no toilets and the Iraqi police guarding them don't even allow them to go to the nearby hotel for it.

The owner of Yartho Hotel has been saying that he won't employ the Nepali workers as per the contract until Nagendra Puri and Chiranjivi Sharma come and pay him $ 40,000 they owe to him.

After the Nepalis started to pelt stone at the hotel in rage, US army and Iraqi police rounded them up and barred their movement beyond the open street in front of the hotel.

Currently, around 40 Iraqi police are guarding the Nepalis.

"Please sir, we don't have money, we are stranded here and don't know what to do…we are dying of hunger…please rescue us," one another Nepali said calling from the same cell phone Thapa had used to call the paper. The paper said that he was crying as he was talking over the phone while confused noises accentuated with cries and hoarse scolding in Iraqi language could be heard from the background.

The victimised Nepalis said they paid upto Rs 3,00,000 to come to Iraq after the agents promised them of very high-paying jobs. They said that the Nepalis agents who had brought them here are out of contact. They have even been warned by the agents not to disclose their name and man-power agencies they work for or their throats will be slit. nepalnews.com ag July 09 08

this is very sad.  these agencies are sucking blood of poor nepali fellas.  I wonder why government never pays attention on these issues with so many such incidents in last few years.  we got to do something for them.  I dont know how i can be helpful.  I really appreciate the effort put by maddogg, bored and others.  lets keep this thread alive and share ideas to help our brothers.

Maddogg, on a previous occassion I too had contacted the UN at Nepal but they never responded to my emails and repeated reminders. So, I'm not sure why they did not respond?

MadDoGG bro, contact the Iraq Embassy in DC or Consulate in NYC and let them know of the dire situation our Nepali brethren are in.  Once something comes about, I'd be glad to contribute financially to their cause. 

Also, could we have the names of the human smugglers/coyotes/pseudo man-power agents who got them there in the first place?  And, why were these laborers stupid enough to go to a place like Iraq in the first place?  Damn, I pray for their safety but once they're all safely back in KTM, both the agent and the duped should all be imprisoned and ridiculed mercilessly.

Samsara thanks for your advice...I will try to contact the embassy. the people who are PART responsible for the Nepalese stranded in Iraq are mentioned in the aritcle too ...here it is.

The owner of Yartho Hotel has been saying that he won't employ the Nepali workers as per the contract until Nagendra Puri and Chiranjivi Sharma come and pay him $ 40,000 they owe to him.

well I wont stop writing to them......please dont stop too. Some of them must have sold everything to go there and some must have taken huge loans to get there so they would so hard to repay it all and still have some to provide a better life for their families. they risked their lives to go there and some SCUMB BAGS took advantage of their desperation and scammed them......THAT IS REAL SAD. I checked the world news and NADA nothing mentioned so far.........

I just called Iraq Embassy and Inquired about the situation, they have no clue about this incident ..I dont blame them because there anre many thinhs in their work load more important than attending to incidents of this nature BUT The guy was very nice and is going to let me know if he finds any information or even how true or legit this news is. He asked me for the source of the news and how reliable is the news. I told him that I read the news daily and its very reliable so far. well lets wait and see what happens ......Gusy I was in My store and it was loud music from the mall. Can someone call and inquire again with more clarity...please understand Im at work and customers all around and this lady (customer) was so rude at me for being at the phone while helping her.....LOL but guys please call and get more INFO  Iraq embassy # 202-742 1600
