Khatla lived through Saddam Hussein's quarter century in
power, when Iraq fought wars with neighbouring Iran and
Kuwait and endured a decade of devastating sanctions. That
was followed by a U.S.-led invasion which toppled Saddam
and led to years of sectarian war across the country.
"Even under the Saddam era, we were afraid because of the
atrocities and the people killed," she said. "But nothing is
compared to this phase".
