Iraq’s New Government: A Turning Point?
After nine months of disagreement and deadlock, Iraq has a new government. But is this a sign that the country will be able to move forward, or will the government descend into chaos while trying to appease all factions? Gabriel Gatehouse, reporting for our partner the BBC, gives us the latest news from Baghdad, and looks back on his year spent reporting from Iraq.
Gatehouse says wounds left from the violence in Iraq will be slow to heal, but there is optimism among locals that the new government is a step in the right direction.
