identity of the medals east. >> they prayed for peace. most are not sure they will ever enjoy it in this part of the world. >> my children have been out of school and college for two years. their future is over. we feel we are alive just to breathe and eat. we have nothing to do except wait. >> the persecution of iraq's christians began well before isil appeared. >> that's why most here in jordan insist they never want to go back. they say iraq is a hopeless place for christians. they want to leave this region all together. they are here to apply for asylum in western countries. and the process of resettlement could take years. >> that's why most refugees who have found sanctuary in jordan's churches are frustrated. the halls ofs churches have been partitioned with walls to house several families. habib says he cannot move on until he is receipt settled in a country he can call home. >> we are psychologically exhausted. a return to iraq is impossible because the government can't

let's go to haiti where voting has finished after elections marred by violence. after nearly 4 years of disagreements. several police stations were shut down early because of fighting among voters. thely is a test ahead of a presidential vote in october. from the capital port au prince, rob reynolds reports. >> in the haitian countryside, life is hard. money is scarce and government services are nearly non-existent. people here in the village of tomazo fetch drifting water from the samestream their animals wade in. ramon has six children with a 7th on the way. the family scrapes by on the meager earnings of her husband, a day laborer. >> government doesn't provide any services for us. >> the head of the government that leaves her to fend for

herself, president michelle marteli was holding a political rally nearby making promises and asking tomazo residents for votes. >> decades of misrule, krupping, foreign intervention have left haiti a hollowed-out state with functions like the military, healthcare and education largely run by outsiders, u.n. agencies and non-governmental organizations or ngos maybe haitians resent this. >> the international community, the way they take it, those guys, they are not themselves, let's help them. but they always want to fix for us, to design for us, to do things for us. >> haiti's prime minister admits there is a problem. >> we are conscious of how it has affected the sovereignty of our country. it's a consequence of a long, continuous crisis of instability. >> reporter: this university student said haiti would be better off on its own.

>> i think they should go. they have brought us cholerra. they caused more misery. without foreign help like these volunteers with doctors without borders working alongside haitian physicians, the health system would get worse. education, too, depends upon outsiders. ninety percent of schools are operated by foreign organizations. one sprite spot is pleasing. the head of the u.n. police operations says the haitian national police or hnp is doing the job of law and order. >> it's a myth to think that the hnp is not doing it now because i can tell you, i see it every day. my officers are not involved in managing at a time security across the country as much as the hnc is. >> officials say sunday's elections, if successful, will be a major step for haiti toward reclaiming its sovereignty. >> we can speak to rob reynolds live.

he is in port au prince for us. polls have just closed. do we have any indication, any exit polls or even indication of the final turnout? >> not yet, barbara. there really aren't any exit polls in this country. the turnout was expected to be low, but the provisional electoral commission will make some announcement probably tonight or tomorrow about how many people did get out and vote. everything is closed here at this place, polling place. the police kicked all of the remaining voters out some time ago, and i think they want to kick us out as well pretty soon. but what's happening behind me here is that the electoral council workers are holding up the ballots and showing each of the observers from outside agencies and the representatives of the various political parties all of the ballots with the names and stithe signatures and

xs marked off next to the pictures of the candidates and that's to try to ensure that everyone is reasonably certain that there is no fraud being committed here now, the significance of these elections goes beyond just filling some empty seats in parliament, although that, in itself, is important. political stability is the goal. without political stability, there will be little inclination by businesses or other countries to invest in haiti, to create enterprises and jobs in haiti, and there will be very little -- it will i can make it more difficult, i should say, for the existing projects in healthcare, sanitation, child welfare and a whole broad array of projects that are being done under the autz pieces of non-governmental aus -- auspices of non-goovment agencies if there is chronic i want stability. >> that's the underlying importance of thisly.

just to recap, this is the first phase. there will be a run-off in october. no same month of o the first voting for the next president will take place and then finally, in december, the final run-off for choosing the president of haiti will take place. >> will end this electoral cycle. >> i guess the haitian people are going to have to wait quite awhile before finding out who their leaders are even though they have been waiting for nearly five years. rob, it was very important that the democratic process -- >> right. >> -- was seen to function properly, and there have been cases of violence earlier in the day, and in the run-up to the election. over all, though, how would you say this election went? how prevalent was the violence in your opinion? >> reporter: well, reporter: well, there were

problems. it all went reasonably well. just getting back to your original question, barbara, the electoral commission told us a couple of days ago that because of the logistics here, it's a country that doesn't have a very well developed road system to say the least. there are a lot of remote areas. all of those ballots have to be carried by hand back to port au prince and counted by hand. that's going to take awhile. yes probably won't know who actually won in this round for six to 10 days after the final votes were cast.

what do you make of that reaction? it applause to a lot of popular sentiments. you have these positions with a large amount of money, a huge bodyguard contingent. when you look at the people in place, their very prominent leaders within the iraqi sfooes sphere. most of these positions are considered honorary positions and not really jobs that get things done on the ground. when you look at iraq and corruption, it is really off of any indices that measure anything. assuming these go through, are these symbolic measures or do you think they would achieve somethi something from what you have seen, are these the first steps toward eradicating corruption in

iraq? the cynical view is usually the more realistic one. i hate to say this. abati is trying to build on popular sentiment and build up a core for himself in terms of acting upon it you are parties dominating certain feels and trying to use force to take control of things they want. it doesn't really look all that good. but, you know, you do hope he can crack down on some things. >> there seems to be a momentum against corruption building. just a few days ago, iraq.

corruption, iraq starting anywhere is always a good start. >> thank you forb having joined us here. >> activists in syria have told al jazeera the strategy againstils isn't working and it might end up backfiring. they have lost some territory but it still firmly controls the city that calls -- that it calls its capitol, raqqa. thighs men are from is ill's capital for almost two years. they hide identities to protect colleagues back home. some have been killed. their information suggestions airstrikes have done little damage to is ill inside the city. these activists tell us the
