No full textSilahdar Kara Mustafa Pasha’s Basra Campaigns and the Reorganization of Basra Province (1667-1671):
This article deals with the particularities of the administration of Basra as one of the Ottoman provinces in its first two parts. After the conquest of Basra, Ottoman State introduced specific administrative and economic rules and regulations to govern the province better. However, several factors have prevented Ottoman governors from governing Basra effectively. Therefore, the Ottomans preferred turning over the management of Basra province to Afrasiyabs, a local noble family of the region, at the beginning of the seventeenth century. After the Afrasiyabs attempted to gain autonomy in Basra, the Ottomans decided to exercise direct control over the province for this purpose again. Accordingly, they organized several military campaigns under the command of the Baghdad governors. The third part of this article focuses on two Basra campaigns launched by Silahdar Kara Mustafa Pasha between 1667 and 1671. It evaluates his success in ending the Afrasiyab rule and making Basra one of the state-controlled provinces in the light of archival documents from the state archives

Profiles and Geotechnical Properties for some Basra Soils
No full textBasra province is known for its logistic location for trading activity and oil industry. By geological point of view, Basra areas are believed to consist mainly of alternation of (clay, silty clay, clayey silt, silt and sand) type of soil. Any development of industry in this area should be affected by the occurrence of the clay soil. That is why the investigation to the soil is more than necessary. In this case, a vast testing program was carried out by the author to evaluate the various formations constituting the of some Basra soils. An attempt to characterize and discuss the nature, minerals, engineering behavior and field properties of soil samples extracted from more than one thousand and one hundred boring liner meters of three sites was performed. The average values of various geotechnical design properties are calculated and plotted with depth. A preview of climate, geology, seismicity and earthquakes of the study area was conducted. Finally, the typical soil profiles were prepared

II. meşrutiyet döneminde basra vilayeti : (1908-1914)
No full textBu çalışmanın ana hedefini II. Meşrutiyet yönetimlerinin Arap vilayetlerine yönelik merkeziyetçilik politikalarının Basra vilayeti örnekleminde incelenmesi oluşturmaktadır. Bu noktadan hareketle Osmanlı devlet aygıtının II. Meşrutiyet dönemi Basrası’nda nasıl işlediği, devlet iktidarının nereye kadar uzanabildiği, yerel muteberan ve aşiret reislerinin bu müdahaleye nerede dur dediği mercek altına alınmış ve Basra vilayetinde devletle toplum arasında ne tür bir ilişkinin hakim olduğu göz önüne serilmeye çalışılmıştır. Bu çalışma, merkezden çevrenin nasıl göründüğünü, Basra vilayetinin problemlerine karşı hükümetlerin takındıkları tavırları ve aldıkları kararları incelediği gibi bunun yanı sıra çevrenin merkez algısını da yansıtmayı amaçlamakta ve vilayetteki yerel elitin bakış açısına ışık tutmaktadır. Bu çalışma sonuçları itibariyle II. Meşrutiyet dönemi merkezileşme siyasetinin Basra vilayetinde büyük oranda başarısız olduğunu göstermiştir. Basra vilayetinde merkezin atadığı memurlar vasıtasıyla kurulmaya çalışılan merkezileşme, bir çok zaman büyük rütbeli memurların yerel elitle işbirliğine gitmesine neden olmuştur. Bu dönemde yerel elitle ilişki kurma biçiminin değişmesi de, önce yerel eşraf ve muteberanın merkezi tehdit olarak algılamasına, akabinde ise bu algının çift taraflı bir hale gelmesine neden olmuştur. 1908 sonrası hükümetlerin aşiretlere yönelik toprağa bağlı siyasetlerini değiştirme ve merkezileşme teşebbüsleri ise kısmen etkili olabilmiş fakat son tahlilde vilayet kırsalında merkezin hedeflediği “asayiş ve huzur” sağlanamamış, aşiretler arası mücadelelere son verilememiştir. Merkezileşmenin yenilgiye uğradığı alanlardan bir diğeri de Basra vilayeti üzerindeki Osmanlı-İngiliz siyasi mücadele olmuştur. Gerek uluslararası konjonktürün etkisi, gerekse meşrutiyet sonrası yerel elite yönelik değişen politikalar, bölgede merkezileşmeden ziyade kopuşa yol açmış, bunun bir sonucu olarak Basra I. Dünya Savaşı sonrası Osmanlı İmparatorluğu’nun elinden çıkan ilk Arap toprağı olmuştur.

From this standpoint, the workings of the Ottoman state apparatus in a provincial setting, the kind of relations between state and society and the meaning of political practice of provincial actors trying to define such hegemony have been put under the spotlight. In the same way, the relations between the Ottoman state and Basra provincial society is sprawled into consideration. In this study, the way that periphery is seen from the center, the decisions taken by the governments and the attitude of the center to the problems of the Basra Province is examined. In addition, this work aims to reflect attitude and perceptions of the center to the provincial periphery and sheds light on the local elite’s perspective as well. The results reached in this study shows that centralization policy applied in second constitutional monarchy period at Basra province was largely unsuccessful. Centralization which had tried to be constructed via appointed officials at Basra, mostly has led to collaboration of high-ranking officials with the local elite. The change in the form of relationship building with the local elite in this period, has first led the local elite to percieve center as a threat, and subsequently cause this perception to become bilateral. Changing politics and centralization initiatives of governments after 1908 which were mainly based on the land towards tribal organisations is able to be partially effective. In the final analysis public order and peace aimed by the center in the rural parts of the provice could not be achieved and struggles between the tribes could not be put an end. One of the areas of defeat on the centralization policy in the Basra Province was the political struggle between Ottoman Empire and Great Britain. Both the impact of the international conjuncture, as well as changing policies after the second constitutional monarchy towards the local elite, has led to rupture in the region rather than centralization and as a consequence of this policy Basra became the first Arab land which was lost during the First World War. Key Words: Basra, Iraq, CUP, centralization, provincial periphery

No full textObjectives: This study aimed to report the incidence and pattern of various types of cancers and their distribution across various demographic groups in Basra, Iraq. Methods: Cancer cases recorded during 2017 at the Basra Cancer Control Centre, the Department of Pathology and Forensic Medicine, the Basra Oncology and Hematology Centre, the Basra Children’s Hospital and at private laboratories were included in the study. Patients’ records were analysed for information related to age, gender, residence and type of cancer. Incidences for different geographical regions and distribution of incidences across age groups were recorded as percentages. The mean age was recorded for patients of different genders and age groups. Incidence rates per 100,000 were calculated for different types of cancer. Results: A total of 2,163 cancer cases were identified of which 2,020 were in adults (93.4%) and 143 were in children (6.6%). Among adults, most cancers were found in females (59%). Patients’ mean age at diagnosis was 51.4 ± 19.6 years for adults and 6.4 ± 4.23 years for children. Cancer incidence rates per 100,000 people increased with age. Breast cancer was the most frequent cancer type found in adult females, with an incidence rate of 60.64 per 100,000 people. The most common types of cancer found in adult males were urinary bladder and lung and bronchus cancers; leukaemia was the most common cancer in children. Conclusion: The findings from this study can be used for predicting cancer epidemiology in Basra, Iraq, and to identify subsets of the population at high risk of cancer incidence.

Basra is burning: the protests in Basra Governorate, 2018–20
No full textBasra has always been known in recent Iraqi history as an epicentre of protest against authority. This explains why it is one of the cities that witnessed the most protests in Iraq in recent years against the authorities’ neglect of residents’ rights. For nearly two decades, Basra has been suffering from a noticeable deterioration of services, especially over the summer. The most obvious include the lack of safe drinking water, electricity, school buildings and roads, as well as widespread unemployment. These were amongst the important factors that prompted the demonstrations that have erupted since 2010. Service provision deteriorated over time, with poor quality leading to a comprehensive collapse, which was met with mass demonstrations that escalated into violence and calls for the overthrow of the political system. This paper provides a brief analysis of the protest movement that took place in Basra Governorate between 2018–2020 in order to discover the important factors that led to its recurrence, as well as the development of protest methods and the expansion of its demands. We also focus on how authorities dealt with protesters, the extent to which they responded to, or considered, their demands and how this affected the protest movement in the governorate
