Today, the world's attention is focused on Iraqis as they elect their first full-term government since the US-led invasion of March 2003. The world is waiting for the results that will determine the future of Iraq and the validity of US promises to bring democracy to the war-ravaged country as well as the entire region.
Voters are expected to cast their ballots along sectarian lines, emphasizing the division between Iraq's three main factions—Shiites, Sunni Arabs, and Kurds—each with its own interests and ambitions.
In keeping with our mission of covering diverse voices and perspectives on the Iraqi nation's prospects and challenges, we bring you the following selection of all-new and insightful material from a number of our contributors, exploring the various dimensions and implications of this momentous day.
IslamOnline.net's Muslim Affairs department has been committed to covering and analyzing unfolding events in Iraq since the very beginning of the crisis. In so doing, we have brought you groundbreaking coverage of Iraq's turbulent transformation. We've also selected a number of articles from our coverage of Iraq across the past two years, to provide greater context and meaning to today's events.
