BAGHDAD — Several hundred Iraqi refugees flew home from Egypt on Monday on the Iraqi prime minister’s plane, the first government-organized flight aimed at accelerating the return of Iraqis now that violence has waned.
Many of those returning on the free flight, however, said they had come back only because they were broke and that they still feared the dangers in their homeland.
The International Organization of Migration says about 13,000 Iraqis have returned from nations in the region — a tiny proportion of the estimated 2.5 million who fled after the 2003 U.S.-led invasion.
