The United Nations Secretary-General’s Special Representative for Iraq, Jenin Hennes-Blachart, has outraged Iraqis for talking about material losses in Iraq without mentioning the violence that has claimed dozens of victims in anti-corruption demonstrations.

“The disruption of critical infrastructure is also a serious concern. Protecting public utilities is everyone’s responsibility,” she said on Twitter.

“Threats or road closures to oil installations are causing billions of losses,” she added. “This damages the economy of Iraq and undermines the legitimate demands of the demonstrators.”

Disruption of critical infrastructure also of grave concern. Responsibility of all to protect public facilities. Threats/closures of roads to oil installations, ports causing billions in losses. Detrimental to #Iraq’s economy, undermines fulfilling protesters’ legitimate demands.

Blachart’s tweet was met with thousands of angry responses, ranging from the publication of videos about the oppression of Iraqis, to denouncing what she said, and some tweeting to the point of demanding her dismissal.

In a previous tweet, the UN official noted the grave abuses suffered by Iraqi protesters by retweeting the report of the UNAMI Human Rights Office.

But her recent tweet, which made no mention of the dead and wounded in the demonstrations, focusing only on oil losses, infuriated her Twitter followers.

“Mako is the homeland of Mako Oil,” one tweet said.

“That’s right. Oil is more important than blood.”

“How much does Iraqi blood cost?” Asked Lubna Janabi.

The number of angry responses to the UN envoy’s tweet reached more than 4,000 within hours.
