the remaining residents of ,camp ,ashraf
 from ,iraq that ,the successful        
implementation of this initiative has   
also been assisted by the residents'    
commitment1 despite difficulties1 to    
meeting the bulk of the associated      
costs1 particularly for long term       
support of all residents relocated out  
of ,iraq who have no access to          
state-sponsored assistance42 ,whereas   
the residents' commitment to pay for    
their expenses was based on the         

assumption that they would be able to   
sell their properties in ,camps ,ashraf 
and ,liberty in order to finance their  
relocation1 day-to-day living costs1 and
 long-term accommodations2 and ,whereas

prevented the residents from selling    
their properties1 subsequently seized by
