Iraq: More than 800 dead in violence in August, according to the UN

The violence in Iraq killed more than 800 people in August, the UN said Sunday, a report that raised fears of a return to the worst days of sectarian fighting in 2006 and 2007. The figures of 804 dead and 2,030 injured, although lower in the balance sheet in July 1057 showed that deaths, however, confirm the deteriorating security situation and a return to the level of violence five years ago. "The impact of violence on civilians is particularly high, with nearly 5,000 civilians killed and 12,000 wounded since the beginning of 2013," according to Jacqueline Badcock, the Deputy Special Representative of the UN in Iraq. According to UN figures, it is Baghdad that has seen the worst violence, but the regions mostly Sunni Salahuddin, Diyala, Ninewa and Anbar were also hard hit. Experts and diplomats called on the Iraqi government, controlled by Shiites to accept reforms to appease the anger of Sunnis in power under Saddam Hussein, accusing Baghdad to monopolize all the powers and carrying out arbitrary arrests.
