New study on Iraq War effects

Issued on:

Iraq marks a sombre 10-year anniversary next week. It will be ten years since the start of the intervention led by the United States, which brought down President Saddam Hussein and his regime. The US pulled out its troops in 2011, but violence continues, in the capital and elsewhere. A new study on the consequences of the Iraq war estimates that over 100,000 Iraqi civilians died between 2003 and 2011, as well as almost 5,000 coalition troops. The co-author of the review article published in The Lancet medical journal with doctors Victor Sidel and Barry Levy argued that human and financial cost of that war was extremely high. Dr Barry Levy speaks to RFI.
