The leaders of nine Zharawa villages continued to work on their plan for building a new cooperative village.  One of the challenges they faced was deciding which families would be part of this project, since some villagers who were displaced years ago and more recently displaced villagers all wanted to be in on the new village.  Another challenge was the disparaging comments of a few local officials, who did not take seriously the danger of the current attacks in their village areas.  One said, “This idea was too much like what Saddam did in the past.  Saddam brought people from different villages and made a collective town.”  Another said, “ If we give them money to build a new village, other people in the conflict zone will ask the same thing,” or “ Some people have two places for two wives so they do not qualify as IDPs (Internally Displaced Persons).”
