US Occupation Cause Of Iraq Crisis: UN Coordinator

“The recent fighting in Fallujah, Ramadi and other towns is a clear result of the American invasion and occupation of Iraq,” Denis Halliday. 

Halliday said the United States has created sectarian divisions in Iraq since it invaded the country in 2003.

 “During that period they encouraged division between Sunni and Shia in Iraq, which had not been the case generally speaking prior to the American invasion.”

“the tragedy now is that the strife between religious interests in Iraq as in other parts of the region has become dangerous and life-threatening calamitous to Iraq, to Syria, to Lebanon as well.”

“Americans can be blamed, only the people of the Middle East can resolve this.”
