Iraq

With bombings and indiscriminate killings still continuing on a day-to-day basis, various tensions between different ethno-religious sects have been clashing, resulting in the deaths of up to 100,000 civilians since the 2003 US invasion.

A lull in the violence began around September 2007. However, dozens of civilians continue to be killed on a daily basis, and widespread mass atrocities are still ongoing throughout the country.

More than 2 million Iraqis have been displaced within the country as a result of the violence with yet another 2.2 million having fled to neighboring countries.
