LIVE stream tonight: Iraq – A Fragile Sovereignty

Talk

You can now what the event here. 
The future of Iraq is up for debate tonight at the Frontline Club with a great panel. If you can’t make it to the club in Paddington, please join in online on the Frontline Club livestream channel where you can register to chat and join in the debate. The main question we’ll be discussing tonight is,

What are the possible outcomes and the details of the agreements determining the US long-term commitments to Iraq as well as the divisions within Iraq itself. Are these agreements an excuse for the US to legitimise a long-term occupation of Iraq or are the Iraqis on their way towards a real, if fragile, sovereignty? livestream link and more info here
