BASRA, IRAQ - JANUARY 28: A woman shows her mobile phone with a political SMS text message urging her to vote in the forthcoming poll on January 28, 2009 in Basra, Iraq. Many areas in Iraq are preparing for provincial elections which are being closely watched as a way of evaluating how peaceful and stable the country now is. British forces, who are restricting all vehicle movements during the election period, are due to withdraw from Iraq's second city Basra later this year and the results will also determine how quickly the number of US troops serving in Iraq can be brought down too.
