The Village of Barnun
When the former Iraqi president Saddam Hussain ordered the marshlands to be dry in the late 80s, many people of the marshlands were affected and were forced to find a new home. Some of them found their new home in the village of Barnun, located on the bank of Shatt al-Hillah about 100 KM south of Baghdad. The people of Barnun adapted very well to their new homes and their water buffaloes thrived in this new home.
