Women have adopted building them as a kind of liberation movement - there had been a rigid taboo against a woman relieving herself in the daytime - so although we thought we'd have about 10,000 latrines, we've passed 340,000.

After the parade, al Rubaie sat comfortably as the head guest of Sattar's brother, Sheik Ahmed Abu Risha, who took over the Awakening movement after Sattar's death. Older and rounder than his warrior brother, Ahmed seemed more like a middle-aged businessman.
