Fahwad Al-Khadoumi (nsnbc) : Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi visited the city of Fallujah on Sunday. The city has been declared as fully liberated from the self-proclaimed Islamic State. Fallujah City Council reports that some thirty percent of the city lays in ruins. Fallujah is one of the Iraqi cities that has been worst affected by congenital malformations after the United States’ use of depleted uranium weapons in the 2003 Gulf War.
PM al-Abadi visited Fallujah on Sunday, in his function as Prime Minister and Supreme Commander of the armed forces of Iraq.
Al-Abadi raised the Iraqi flag near Fallujah Hospital in the central part of the city, vowing that he also soon would raise the flag in Mosul. Speaking in a televised speech, al-Abadi said:
“The ISIS fighters and those who supported them from their associates attempted to stop the march towards Fallujah and made false rumors. However, our armed forces managed to thwart them and achieve victory in the city,” adding, “Our heroic forces liberated Fallujah, and as we promised, we raised the Iraqi flag over it and so we will raise the Iraqi flag in Mosul.”
Also this latest round of conflict has destroyed large parts of the city. Fallujah City Council reported on Sunday that some 30 percent of the city had been damaged during recent military operations.

The Council stressed that the city government would do what it can to remove the ruins and remnants of the war and to prepare the city for the return of displaced citizens. Fallujah City Council spokesman Salam Ajami al-Halbusi issued a statement to the press, saying:
“The percentage of damage in several areas of Fallujah, after they have been liberated from ISIS control, has been estimated to be around 30 per cent. The damages were caused during the organized terrorist operations. … ISIS used thousands of IEDs and hundreds of booby-trapped vehicles. ..
ISIS also booby-trapped the houses of the army and police members, tribal leaders and everyone who objected the terrorist organization ideology. Anbar government and Fallujah council will work to remove the remnants of war that were left by ISIS, as well as dismantling IEDs and booby-trapped houses in Fallujah in order to prepare the city for the return of displaced people.”
Iraq is suffering from an epidemic rise in congenital malformations since the Gulf War and the widespread use of depleted uranium weapons.
Large parts of Fallujah have repeatedly been destroyed since the US/UK-led “Coalition of the Willing” launched an illegal war against Iraq under the false pretext of “weapons of mass destruction” in 2003.
Fallujah is one of the cities that has been most affected by the United States’ use of depleted uranium munitions, causing an unprecedented increase in congenital malformations among newborn children; So much that staff at Fallujah Hospital recommended newly wed not to produce any children.
In 2012 an MD from Fallujah Hospital told nsnbc that awaiting parents, before the 2003 war, would ask if it would be a boy or a girl. “Today, distraught parents merely ask ´Is it normal`”.
Several sociologists have noted that this victimization, the large number of childless young people and other associated factors played significant roles in creating a recruitment potential for organizations such as the Islamic State.
The city has been liberated from the Islamic State (a.k.a. ISIS, ISIL, Daesh) and their despotic Islamist regime of terror. It must be noted that ISIS has many former Iraqi soldiers and officers among its ranks. Soldiers who were marginalized and lost their work as a result of the United States’ failed de-Baathization project in Iraq.
While ISIS has been removed from Fallujah and the city council tries to prepare the city so it can receive returning displaced residents, the genocidal effects of the use of depleted uranium in Fallujah and other cities in Iraq and their impact on the social fabric and the politics of the country will be lingering on, neglected by most media.
