Iraqi Asylum Migrants in Jordan: Conditions, Religious Networks and the Smuggling Process

Géraldine Chatelard 1

(2005)

This chapter looks at the case of Iraqi forced migrants in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan. More particularly, it explores how the country's policy responses to this influx, which started with the 1991 Gulf War, had an impact on the migrants' decision merely to transit Jordan, their first host country, rather than to stay there long-term. In a context of extreme vulnerability, poverty and religious-based discrimination, it also looks at the support networks of migrants in Jordan, with a particular emphasis on religious ones. Finally, it documents the smuggling process as it takes place from Jordan.
