This is an account of Iraq’s devastation as a nation following the punishing economic sanctions imposed on it by the United Nations in August 1990. Over a million people died and thousands more suffered unspeakable horrors of injuries and debilitating diseases caused by famine, malnutrition and lack of medicinal care. In March 2000, Tun Dr Siti Hasmah Mohd Ali led a humanitarian mission to Baghdad to witness the scale and extend of the catastrophe which befell Iraq. Her mission’s report impelled the Malaysian government to stand up against the sanctions along with some other nations. “Speaking of Mass Destruction...” is a documentation of these narratives.
