Iraq, 20 years on: Fallujah bears brunt of legacy of a brutal war • FRANCE 24 English

- Опубликовано: 16 мар 2023
- #Fallujah is one of the cities that has paid the highest price for the #US-led invasion of #Iraq two decades ago. A stronghold of support for former dictator Saddam Hussein, it quickly became the scene of brutal guerrilla warfare. The instability created by the conflict produced long-lasting effects. In particular, it laid the foundations for jihadism, giving birth to al Qaeda in Iraq, which later evolved into the Islamic State group. FRANCE 24's Lucile Wassermann reports.

Now Nato lecturing us about illegal invasions and democracy 😂🤡
the usa didnt invade iraq because they hate the existence of iraqis and want to exterminate them.....
Well, stop breeding in other countries, try that….
I wish the people of Iraq peace and prosperity in the future.
America should be held accountable for war crimes.
I don't doubt that Russia would not be doing what it is today if it wasn't emboldened by the US blindly following Bush and Blair's lies into war.
Nope
@@jonfee5081why not?
@@jonfee5081 GO SEEK HELP!!!!
@@jonfee5081 why not? Amerixa should face sanctions
It's beautiful to see the people of Fallujah recovering after the a lot of painful years. 💔
(2003-2017) 14 years
My everything Iraqi people and Iraqi blessed land😢 love from Pakistan Faisal (pashtoon ) pathaan
Where are the war crimes tribunals for the Bush Administration
Is the ICC going to Charge Bush and Blair and Poland as well?
ICC western lap dog
No..why?
Will never happen. We will never charge our Allies. They’ll probably die first before their legacy goes to crap. Same with Hillary.
They wanted to, some years back, but the US threatened the ICC, so they withdrew the investigation.
Why poland ?
Where is the ICC hiding this time?
They are busy covering for Zelenskyy
Never found one trace of weapons of mass destruction
yes they did
@@ProjecthuntanFish source?
@@yansideabacoa6257 Go google it ! The found small amounts of WMDs and that is a fact! Also Saddam shipped most of his WMDs to Syria right before the invasion and that is a FACT as well.
@@ProjecthuntanFish source?
Trust me bro@@yansideabacoa6257
Absolutely excellent work. And really good access.
What weapons........ exactly, a lie.
Still no Arrest Warrant for Bush & Blair
For what? Ending a brutal dictatorship, killing terrorists, or removing coward terrorists from the face of the planet
@@mathewhosier9739 brainwashed, the imperialist dogs have no place on the other side of the planet
Who is the terrorist, if you Ask Iraqi and Afghan people, the reply of course will be America and it is true,
For Palestinian it will be different,,
As a Afghan Pashtoon I solute to my Iraqi martyrs brothers sisters,May theirs souls be in peace and blessings of Allah.we pay tribute for their courageous gallantry to Beat the Intruders, Invaders, Respect and love for all those still alive resisted the Invaders
Push them out of the holy soils Of Iraq and Afghanistan.Indeed we also suffered alot while beating the enemies day night across Afghanistan particularly in Hellmond Mosa Qala,Marja,Herat,Kandahaar,konar,
Nooristaan and other regions of Great Afghanistan.we thought them such a lesson they would remember for ever before invading into other Gallant Nations lands.
You know half the insurgents in Fallujah switched sides when they saw the evil they had brought about with their "resistance"? It was called the Anbar Awakening. The rest stayed behind to form ISIS.
Insurgents were terroists
Two war criminals should be tried and put in prison
They did their job, they annihilated a ruthless dictator, mission accomplished
@@mathewhosier9739 they illegally invaded country that was minding its own busines. USA terrorists murdered 1,8milion civilians, stole everything that wasn't nailed down, raped at will, tortured innocent people and created multiple terror groups in the process.
Mission complete fail and every single soldier that served there should be tried for warcrimes.
@@mathewhosier9739 Troll, go collect your 50 cent.
I don't know why we invaded Iraq. Sorry to the people of Iraq.😥
I believe that story’s timeline begins in 1956, with the Suez Crisis.
We will not forgive you
didnot Forget abu greb crime and abeer al janabi and other crimes
Bush wanted blood
@@albarsalan3611 This very day, 15 years ago, a carbomb detonated at a restaraunt Iraq killing 19 people. But you've already forgotten about that, just like all the others murders that were committed every day by the terrorists America was trying to kill and capture.
Don't forget the role Colin Powell took in the big lie, to the face of the entire world.
Get these war criminals to jail asap
Still US military personnel who deployed committed suiside becus they did wrong...we believed in karma . One day US will pay heavy price.
We're already suffering now, believe me.
@@callmekirkland8 not nearly enough
@@yansideabacoa6257 no, I think it's more than you imagine.
@@callmekirkland8na dude. The worst has yet to come. And what I can see are truly one of the worst things that are coming for the US.
The Anti-Terrorism Service and the Special Forces that appeared at the beginning of the video cannot arrest the Shiite militias loyal to Iran, but rather work with them and receive their accounts from the treasury of the Iraqi state, unfortunately.
Fortunately! GLORY IRAN !!
thank you for this piece. no one explains that the US armed forces invaded the city twice and basically leveled it
Well look at what they did to those Americans, what did they expect? Animals should be treated as such
@@mathewhosier9739 what were those pigs doing on the other side of the world? makes you wonder for what reason they were made to face the peoples’ justice. a handful of white US lives seem to be worth more than the lives of 300,000 iraqis.
Dragged burned bodies through streets.
@@patrickt6642 makes you wonder why
@@mathewhosier9739 WTF is WRONG with you? When you invade a country, YOU ARE THE TERRORISTS.
Love Fallujah💕💕 love Basra 💕💕
No war,no occupation.....No jahadis.
Murica invades: "We're bringing freedom and democracy"
Russia invaders: "That's a brutal and unjustified invasion against the sovereign republic!"
One the US didn't annex Iraq like Russia did to Crimea.. two Iraq wasn't a Republic.... Third all large scale operations were finished by 2005 ..
@@deleon3139 Doesn't make it right lmfao
@@deleon3139 Republic was declared in 1958
Maybe because the US actually installed a democracy. Who do you think elected the Iraqi government? Do you think it was America's idea to put Sadrists in parliament?
@@Dennis-nc3vw did millions of dead Iraqi wanted to suffer or die for your democracy?
What lessons have world politicians learned from illegal invasion of Iraq? What lessons have the world main media learned?
they don't care. They lined their pockets and don't have care in the world 20 years later
Nothing!
Have workd learned anything from any past wars, some much worse then Iraq.
We learned that USA is above the law
now a beautiful city that has come out of the darkness
“War is a racket”. -Marine General Smedley Butler.
i hate to see innocent children have to suffer all those things
WHAT weapons of mass distruction?????
Business as usual.
Nobody knows how bad Falujjah was more than Jeremy Dewitte
Fallujah 🖤🖤🖤🇸🇾
actually sad
cannot wait for the uneducated comments
Fallujah glad to see you recover..greetings from California ✌🏼💯
its time these UK Reporters stop preech Gloom And Doom over Iraq and leave these people Alone. iraq is rebuilding beautifully and is going to be ok
who is responsible for this disaster?
America and Iran
Americans and NATO
@@theonly6359 can't say NATO
Bush
😢☝️❤️🌍🙏
INformative
Saddam Hussein Time was iraq Good Condition And Now Bad Condition....
Saddam was Bad and Brutal But now Iraq is a Disaster Of multiples Of Mercenaries and warlord from the elites from the middle east
Operation briefs are not like this and it's done several times. This is just an act...
Proudly from fallujah ❤ my great city

City of Hero’s.
If by heroes you mean insurgents, half of them joined the US in the Anbar Awakening after realizing the evil they were fighting for, and the other half stayed behind to form The Islamic States of Iraq, precursor to ISIS.
@@Dennis-nc3vw you know one side of the story just like a lot westerners these people were defending there land iraqi land Americans cross the ocean to go kill these people for some oil and gold .
@@Dennis-nc3vw The Anbar awakening was defense against Alqaida who makes the real fighters look bad
@@calizonawildtv5695 How many thousands of deaths could have been avoided if the insurgents cooperated with the US in the first place, or at least let us do our jobs instead of shooting at us?
The Last Disastrous Wars of the American Empire
The battle of Falluja was the most humiliating battle for the Americans. Americans lost hundreds of soldiers, just like the battle of Marjah in Afghanistan when the Afghan people destroyed the American Invaders.
Not sure about that...the city fell to the Americans and the insurgents suffered large casualties.
I don't support the Americans doing this btw. Just the Americans razed the whole city
@@oliverbird6914 "razed" compare 2023 Bakmut to 2004 Fallujah. One is way more intact than the other.
@@belluh-1huey102 Well of course, the Americans took Fallujah in just 6 weeks. The shelling of Bakhmut is almost a year old.
Liar. The US only suffered less than 60 kia but the insurgents lost over a thousand personnel (kia).
this is the craziest cope ive ever seen
Operation Durka Durka Jihad complete.
Fallujah
Nope not even gonna watch this 10 seconds in no no
Poets & artist are the way.
Boooo hoooo
Thanks USA
Yea thanks to those fools destroyed the place.
Your welcome!🇺🇸🇺🇸
You are welcome
For killing 1 million civillians including children.
@@Melissa-h The US military and terrorism are two sides of the same coin
Is Falluja any better than Halabja that was gassed by the brutal regime these people supported
Yes both are evil and enemies of the people.
The invasion was illegal and a total disaster for Iraq
whats your source that the people of Fallujah had anything to do with it? prove your claim and stop acting like a kurdish victim
@@Adam-gf3jg Kalil Al-Duleimi was Saddam's lawyer and he is from Sunni triangle. After Saddam's execution he claimed the moon was crying for Saddam while showing photo of a crying moon on Aljazeera TV. This is example of their distorted blind loyalty.
@@kakhaval you expect them to care of halabja after what the americans did? what fantasy world are you living?
@@juamu1132 Looking at it now, they should, as Mahdi wound up controlling the government.
