Eye on the world: Healing division in Iraq
In “What defines victory for Iraq in Mosul” The Christian Science Monitor reports on the progress being made to heal the divisions in Iraq. “Some of the most welcome images coming out of the war against Islamic State (IS) have been pictures of Sunni civilians, especially children, flashing V signs at Iraqi Army soldiers during the ongoing liberation of Mosul, Iraq’s second-largest city. The soldiers are mainly Shiites yet they have acted with patriotic discipline as they steadily defeat the terrorist group, aid the city’s Sunni residents, and reunite Iraq. Iraq will need more examples of Shiite-Sunni reconciliation as it prepares for the fall of IS.…” The Monitor continues, “The political vacuum caused by religious competition must be filled with a common identity, one based on shared civic values and a dispersal of power under Iraq’s embrace of democracy.” Efforts toward reconciliations are defusing the distrust between Sunnis and Shiites, and divisions in parliament are on the mend.
