2 million Iraqis go hungry as oil output hits 30 year high To see more go to www.youtube.com Follow us on Facebook (goo.gl or Twitter (www.twitter.com Since the US pulled out of Iraq, the country has been chaotic. Contrary to what the US are saying, mass poverty, clashes between Sunnis and Shiites and political corruption are tearing the nation apart. Despite Iraq's oil wealth, one fifth of the population live in poverty. It is a situation compounded by the corruption and violence that has consumed the country. As Majid Tofan, editor in chief of alMehda newspaper, explains, "Corruption is a huge problem in Iraq and many terror operations are financed by corruption." Both of these problems feed out of the ethnic struggles that still dominate the country. Worse still, it seems that Iran may be starting to flex its muscles amongst the Shiite minority, now that the US troops have gone. Something the US denies: "Iran certainly doesn't control events in Iraq more than any country does." What is certain is that Iraq is a country in deep trouble and there seems little hope among the people that the current political class can lift them out of it, "People do not trust the politicians".

Ian Welch was on his first combat tour in Iraq, waiting to storm across the Diyala Bridge and seize Baghdad, when an artillery round exploded behind him--changing his life forever.

Seven years after the invasion of Baghdad, the Iraqi people are experiencing a devastating legacy. Babies are being born with severe deformities and cancer at a rate, which makes the effects of Hiroshima look tame. "Here look at her. So many things are wrong with her. It's all because of the fighting", says one stricken grandmother. The baby she clutches in a little pink towel has a cleft lip, a deformed arm, six fingers on one hand, and a kidney that bulges through her abdomen. Yet the doctors in this children's hospital in Baghdad are unfazed. "We see multiple cases like this", they say. Like all of the parents whose babies lie under the gravestones in the 'Childrens Graveyard', the doctors suspect that the cause may be the depleted uranium weapons used by US forces during the war. However they don't have the resources to provide much-needed data on what they describe as an "alarming increase". The Ministry of Health may refuse to comment on the problem due to suspected "pressure from the American Forces". Yet walking through the pock-marked centre of Baghdad wearing radioactive suits, workers from the Environment Ministry let the readings speak for themselves. Their clean-up may be ongoing, but whilst the Ministry of Health keep their silence, parents living in the areas around Baghdad say they are "too scared" to have more children. SBS (less)

CHICAGO -- US veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars threw their medals towards the site of the NATO Summit May 20 in what was called the most dramatic antiwar action by ex-GIs since Vietnam. One-by-one, 45 service members from all branches of the military took to the stage to tell their stories while thousands of anti-NATO protesters listened and cheered. (less)

Despite the US's declared withdrawal of its military personnel and contractors out of Iraq, Washington has prepared to control the country's rich oil reserves in any case, shared Ranjit Singh Kalha, former India's ambassador to Iraq in the 1990s. Having spent $3 trillion in Iraq, a country with harsh weather conditions (+50 C most of the time) and absolutely nothing valuable but oil reserves, the Americans simply cannot give up the plentiful and very high quality oil they went there for. "It takes $1.50 to take out this oil that's just below the surface. Anybody who has access to this oil can be a game changer -- as far as the politics of oil is concerned," Ranjit Singh Kalha concluded. The problem Americans encountered in Iraq is that once given "some symbols" of democracy, the Iraqi voted for a Shia-led government. The headache is that the Shia traditionally have close links with Iran, the core territory of this affiliation. "That is the present dilemma. If you withdraw from Iraq completely, you leave this vast oil wealth of Iraq in the hands of Shia (Iran-oriented) government. And therefore it upsets the political balance in the Middle East," Ranjit Singh Kalha explained. He said that to counter such adverse developments the US will have almost 20000-strong embassy in Baghdad (the largest US embassy in the world) and consulates in Basra, Kerkuk and in northern Kurd-inhabited territory, each consulate 1000-strong. "Americans cannot afford to be completely absent from ... (less)

The ancient city of Babylon in southern Iraq is considered to be one of the Seven Wonders of the World. But that prestigious title doesn't seem to bother the country's booming oil industry. The country's government has built a pipeline through the archaeological site, claiming nothing historic has been put at risk. Middle East expert Deepak Tripathi warns that the pipeline may sooner or later destroy the historic site.

The last US military convoy has left Iraq's territory on Sunday, finalizing the pullout. The motorcade of 110 armored vehicles carrying 500 officers and soldiers, accompanied by a helicopter patrol, has crossed into Kuwait. The nine-year war and occupation cost 4500 American lives and 500 of the lives of their allies. The death toll for the Iraqis is estimated between 100 and 150000, while some 1.75 million people fled the country. RT on Twitter twitter.com RT on Facebook www.facebook.com (less)

DemocracyNow.org - Democracy Now! broadcasts from Chicago, site of the largest NATO summit in the organization's six-decade history. On Sunday, veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, as well as members of Afghans For Peace, led a peace march of thousands of people. Iraq Veterans Against the War held a ceremony where nearly 50 veterans discarded their war medals by hurling them down the street in the direction of the NATO summit. We hear the soldiers' voices as they return their medals one by one from the stage. "I am giving back my global war on terror service medal in solidarity with the people of Iraq and Afghanistan," said Jason Heard, a former combat medic who spent 10 years in the US Army. "I am deeply sorry for the destruction that we have caused in these countries and around the globe."

Iraq sees surge in bombings after US withdrawal To see more go to www.youtube.com Follow us on Facebook (goo.gl or Twitter (www.twitter.com As Sunni-led violence returns to Iraq we take a look at life in the Sunni heartland of Tikrit. The population are deeply unhappy with the Shia government and are blaming their troubles on its rampant corruption. Iraq may be safer but not much has changed since the country became democratic. Underdevelopment is evident throughout the country. A fifth of the population cannot read or write and many are unemployed. "We don't produce anything. We need private investors from other countries for development", says one man. Tax revenues barely exist and much of the money disappears through corruption: "no one trusts the government". Al Qaeda remains a threat and lack of funding means that security forces are stretched to the limit. In al Alam, people want more autonomy and independence from the Shiite-dominated government in Baghdad. The mistrust is partly because the Sunnis are degraded from power and with US troops now out of the country this political-sectarian conflict may again escalate into violence. The Iraqi government has also been unable to deliver any progress, despite billions of dollars in foreign aid. For Yasim al Juburi, the chairman of the al Alam municipal council, the situation is bleak. "What has Iraq achieved? The answer is nothing". January 2012 (less)

Nine years after the war and with billions of US dollars spent, electricity is still in short supply in Iraq. The government is looking to use electricity-generating ships to meet the expected uptick in demand in the coming summer months. In electricity-strapped provinces like Basra, where the power generated by a Turkish 'floating electricity plant' is diverted to the national grid, there is an especially high need.

Iraq's Kurdish government has stopped all oil exports to Baghdad following a payment dispute. It is just one issue in the past weeks that is causing tensions between the Kurds in the north and the central authority. There are concerns that a push to sell crude oil to Kurdish markets from what is considered to be one of the last great unexplored oil regions in the world, could persuade Erbil to seek more independence from Baghdad.
