Ine on Mo-magazine

Few days ago I got mail by Mo-magazine if they could feature some pics on their newly started photoblog.
So freshly on their blog: Iraq before the war (or Iraq under embargo, as you prefer.)

Info: back in april 2002, a friend journalist and I left for Iraq. Iraq was still ruled by Saddam back then (reminder: in March 2003 the US invaded Iraq again, and Saddam was captured)
In 2002, Iraq was suffering a worldwide UN embargo since 1990, and while this should have targeted Saddam, the big losers were the citizens of Iraq. Critics estimate that more than 500,000 Iraqi children died as a result of the sanctions (info).
