Farmers in the Islamic State (IS) controlled parts of Iraq, concerned about the militant group’s activities, are unwilling or unable to plant as much wheat as in past years, according to a special report from Reuters.
Several farmers told Reuters “they had not planted the normal amount of seed, because they could not access their land, did not have the proper fertilizers or adequate fuel, or because they had no guarantees that Islamic State would buy their crop as Baghdad normally does.”
许多当时不支持努里·马利基 (Nouri al-Maliki) 领导的前政府的农民现在表示更喜欢这位前领导人。还有人担心，IS 不会在收割时向少数种植政府的农民提供政府税率。结果是成千上万的伊拉克人可能会挨饿。
