Falluja

Falluja is a city in Iraq, located about 40 kilometers west of Baghdad. It gained international attention during the Iraq War, particularly in 2004, due to intense fighting between U.S. forces and insurgents. The city became a symbol of resistance, with significant battles resulting in heavy casualties and widespread destruction. Falluja's strategic location made it a key area for military operations. Post-war, the city faced challenges in rebuilding and addressing sectarian tensions. Today, Falluja is still recovering, with efforts focused on stabilization and development amidst the broader context of Iraq's political landscape.
