The Marsh Arabs, or Maʻdān, lived for centuries in the wetlands of southern Iraq, building reed houses and living off the rivers. After the 1991 Gulf War, many supported uprisings against Saddam Hussein. In retaliation, Saddam’s regime drained the marshes, diverting the Tigris and Euphrates to destroy their homeland and cut off rebel support.

Marsh Arabs, or Maʻdān, are an indigenous people of southern Mesopotamia who have lived for millennia in Iraq’s vast marshlands, relying on reed houses, fishing, and water buffalo herding. In the 1990s, Saddam Hussein ordered the marshes drained as punishment for uprisings, destroying their ecosystem and displacing most of the population. Human rights groups estimate 40,000 to 100,000 were killed through executions, starvation, and the collapse of their way of life. #Iraq | The Bearded Backpacke
