Justice for Iraq

Haifa Zangana, eminent Iraqi writer, artist and activist was in Delhi on the invitation of her Indian publisher, Women Unlimited. Haifa spoke on 'Accountability and Justice for Iraq' at the School of International Studies, Jawaharlal Nehru University. She says the US invasion of Iraq has impacted every aspect of the daily life of people. They were subjected to immense burdens. The invasion broke the back of the Iraqi economy. The US and Britain, under the garb of democracy have resorted to double standards on many issues. Rampant corruption prevails. The resistance to the forces of invasion has galvanized the movement demanding them to leave the country. Zangana actually believes the Arab Spring started with the resistance movement in Fallujah, with a series of demonstrations against US invasion.
