The encyclopedia project has it's office in the Department of Antiquities building which is part of the Slemani Museum complex. This museum is the second largest in Iraq (after Baghdad) and as such we have the best protection. No little skinny security guards here, but we have the Asiagh which is the Kurdish equivalent to the SAS and they are very professional and experienced. We have one guy (in the photo) at the side gate and another three at the entrance to the museum.Of course like everyone here they love their photo taken :)
We have a lot of staff here. First there is an older woman who opens up and cleans the office every morning.In addition to the soldiers, we have a doorman, two drivers and a nice man who just makes tea all day. By the front door is a sort of waiting room and it is usually occupied by 5 or 6 men just sitting about and I have no idea who that are!
