Shafaqna English– The human cost of Iraq’s prolonged history of conflict extends far beyond the ruins of destroyed cities. Since the 2003 USA’s invasion and through the terror unleashed by Daesh, Iraqis have faced decades of violence that continues to impact their daily lives.
The emotional and psychological wounds left behind are profound, etched into a society still living with the shadows of its past, while burdened by political instability, social fragmentation, and economic strain. As these pressures intensify, the nation’s mental well-being continues to fray.
Since its establishment in 1921, Iraq has endured five major conventional conflicts, each leaving deeper scars than the last. The 2003 invasion, in particular, shattered national security and opened the door to extremist groups, plunging the region into deeper turmoil.
