Sami Ramadani‘s speech at the conference “The First Casualty? War, Truth and the Media Today”, held last month by Media Workers Against the War.

For four years, Britain and the US have aimed to encourage sectarianism, but ultimately they will fail to divide the country.

With assassination a daily threat, Iraq’s academy is collapsing. It desperately needs support.

Haditha is in the spotlight. But such an atrocity is unexceptional in occupied Iraq.

The popular response to Iraq’s latest atrocities has been to blame the occupation, not rival sects.

The deception that launched the invasion of Iraq now increasingly shapes media coverage of the occupation.

It is not withdrawal that threatens Iraq with civil war, but occupation.
