IRAQ TODAY.  A new magazine for an emerging nation.

Something extraordinary is happening in Iraq. New oil wealth is powering one of the biggest national building programmes in modern history. Iraq is exporting almost 3 million barrels of oil a day boosting federal coffers by 7 billion US dollars a month. This new magazine seeks to report what is really going on delivering the stories overlooked by world media outlets.

Our cover story features an exclusive look at Basrah Sports City – built at a cost of half a billion US dollars this new stadium is one of the biggest in the world and will host the Gulf Cup in 2015.

Other stories focus on Shell Iraq’s massive mine clearance operation at Al Majnoon – once a major battle site in the Iran Iraq war but now producing a million barrels of oil a day

We also look at the dynamic telecoms market in Iraq which is one of the fastest growing in the world

We feature exclusive interviews with senior Iraqi politicians and investigate why a million Iraqis are short of food despite living in potentially one of the richest nations on the planet

In our sports section football expert Barnaby Wilson looks at the performance of the Iraqi national squad and poses this question: “will the Lions roar again?”

There are restaurant and book reviews in our lifestyle section and fitness guru Graham Fairley writes exclusively for us.

IRAQ TODAY is a world first: a realistic attempt to highlight what is really happening in nation emerging from decades of conflict and war.
