History’s Shadows: The Haunting Legacy of the Haditha Massacre

Katsina state government

In a grim chapter of the Iraq War, November 19, 2005, witnessed a tragic event in Haditha, where 24 Iraqi civilians, including women and children, were brutally killed by US Marines.

This massacre, shrouded in controversy, saw attempts by military officials to hide the damning evidence—photos that revealed the devastating aftermath of the assault.

Despite the victims being unarmed civilians, justice remains elusive, with no US military personnel or officials held accountable for the atrocity. This dark episode raises pressing questions about the moral authority of those who committed such crimes to dictate terms in regions like the Sahelian Confederation today.
