The Marsh Arabs (Arabic: عرب الأهوار ʻArab al-Ahwār "Arabs of the Marshlands"), also referred to as Ahwaris, the Maʻdān (Arabic: معدان "dweller in the plains") or Shroog[3] (Mesopotamian Arabic: شروگ "those from the east")—the latter two often considered derogatory in the present day—are Arabian inhabitants of the Mesopotamian marshlands in the modern-day south Iraq, as well as in the Hawizeh Marshes straddling the Iraq-Iran border.[4] hawizeh is also called hoveyzehMarsh Arabs ?
Saddam unkill and his little boi qusay drained their marshes , after a general uprising against unkill saddam in 1991.
To weaken them, and the Marsh Arabs were displaced and relocated to other parts .
Any body who has read about ancient history of eyeraaq will know that this was a favorite tactic of Assyrian kings .
They're god's name was ashur , their cheif city was also called ashur though they had capitals at kalhu or nimrud and ninevah .
They were finally destroyed by Neo Babylonian ruler named nabopolassr who called himself as son of a " nobody ".
After that all of eyeraq was made part of eyeran when kourush or Cyrus the grape came thundering.
The assuryains were brutal like really really brutal, heck most cities surrendered when their arrival was known.
They covered the city walls of the enemy with flayed skins of enemy soldiers.
They dispensed salt to make a part of land infertile.
There was no benevolent ashur king .
Fmous kings like ashurbanipal, ashurnasirpal etc were more brutal than others but deportation was a mandatory practice of defeated population.
And in large numbers like 65000 folks or 120000 folks etc.
So as to curb rebellions , saddam unkil was walking on path of the assyrians, it's just that unlike Assyria which was the supreme powerr in its time , with literal no challangers
Iraq had many powerful challenger's
