Assessment of Seven Years of Occupation

Catherine Pappas , Marie-Pierre Labrie — 2010-12-14T01:20:22Z

The decades of dictatorship and war, in addition to thirteen years of embargos (1990-2003), have plunged the country into a state of chronic crisis and emptied it of its substance. The economy has collapsed, paving the way for unbridled inflation. Without prospects, the young have become obsessed with the idea of leaving. Today, more than 5.6 million Iraqis (of a population of 27 million) live beneath the poverty line; 40% of them live in extreme poverty.
