#5: Reverberating Effects: The Aftermath of Hawija

The Civilian Protection Podcast

In June 2015, Dutch F-16s carried out an airstrike on an ISIS ammunition factory in the Iraqi town of Hawija, causing considerable harm beyond what was anticipated. In this episode, Mohammed Abdulkareem Khthar, Head of Programs at Iraqi NGO Al-Ghad, and Dutch journalist Judit Neurink explain the impact of the airstrike on the people in Hawija, both in the immediate aftermath of the strike and in the years that followed, and why they think it's time for acknowledgement from the Dutch government.

Guests:

  • Mohammed Abdulkareem Khthar (Head of Programs, Al-Ghad) 
  • Dutch journalist Judit Neurink 

Co-hosts: 

  • Saba Azeem (Project Lead Human Security Survey Iraq, PAX)
