Iraq has been in conflict since April 2003
and, increasingly, is trapped in a spiral of
catastrophic violence and turmoil. To
everyone’s dismay the planned
reconstruction and rehabilitation of the
country’s physical infrastructure and
economy has not materialised, due in large
part to continued country wide insecurity. This
has evolved into political instability and a real
humanitarian crisis; millions of Iraqis live in
terror and despair.
After three years of efforts to stabilise the
country and establish democracy, the reality
is that in 2006 a total of 16,521 civilians were
killed. This figure is according to government
sources, although UN agencies put the
figures even higher at some 35,000 people.
This statistical data per se may not capture
one's attention unless one attempts to put a
face on each of the deceased as well as the
widows and orphans left behind; people
whose lives have gone from bad to worse.
