Iraq: 5 years of occupation

Al-Ahram Weekly marks five years since the unprovoked aggression by the US and UK against Iraq, despite worldwide opposition and the lack of authorisation by the UN Security Council. The results have been unimaginable suffering and uncountable crimes against humanity.

Messages to the people
On 20 March 2003, at 5.30am, the American army and its allies bombarded Baghdad. The war on Iraq had officially started. Blood and ink would flow in abundance.
