🇮🇶 Today is 20th anniversary of Iraqi freedom.

🪖 On March 20, 2003, an international military coalition made up of the United States, England, Poland, Australia, with the substantial participation of Kuwait, which made its bases available for the invasion from the south towards Basra, repaying Washington for its 1991 support with Operation Desert Storm began the full-scale invasion of Iraq. The Rumsfeld doctrine envisaged a low number of men for the attack and an enormous concentration of air forces, which will then lead to the application of the Shock and Awe tactic, approximately 150,000. Figure that was further increased during the invasion bringing it to 300,000 and raised again with the operation The Surge after the war since 2007.

🏴 The reasons were many: the threat of weapons of mass destruction in Saddam's hands, potential terrorist cells already present in the territory, such as Shia and Sunni insurgents including the Jamaat Ansar al-Sunna organization, the regime's violence against Kurdish and Shia forces , the democratization of Iraq which would lead to more freedom in the Middle East. The invasion, completed in a few weeks, triggered a period of great instability in the country.
Today Iraq, albeit with internal political difficulties and instability, is embarking on a process of democratization.
