Assessment of Seven Years of Occupation

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

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.

Qui gagne les élections perd le gouvernement

Al-Quds Al-Arabi — 2010-11-12T11:14:00Z

Huit mois après les législatives, les partis irakiens sont arrivés à un accord pour former un gouvernement. Un partage du pouvoir qui a permis de mettre fin à un vide politique mais qui laisse une large place aux luttes intestines.
