Please advise' is it safe working in Iraq at the moment

My name is Lydia Manga, currently working in Mombasa, Kenya.

I have a brother who has just got a job in iraq as an oil engineer. Am worried due to the news we get in TV'S here in Kenya that Iraq country isn't peaceful.Due to this i have been discouraging him to leave that Job and wait for another opening.

Can i continue discouraging him or advise him to go ahead and move on with his plans.

Kindly advise please.

Thanks and regards.
