In Iraq today, militias speak loudly about resistance while practicing the politics of fear. They launch drones and missiles toward neighboring countries and threaten regional stability. At the same time, they have turned their weapons inward, attacking and intimidating people inside their own country.
These groups answer neither to the Iraqi people nor even to the Iraqi state. They attack government buildings, defy state authority and act as if the law does not apply to them, behaving in many parts of Iraq as though the country belongs to them.
Yet, when an Iraqi woman is assassinated in Baghdad, the world barely notices.
That woman was Yanar Mohammed. Her assassination is not just a tragedy. It is a brutal reminder of what Iraq has become.
