Iraq is suffering some of the worst violence since the withdrawal of U.S. troops in 2011. The UN says more than 700 people were killed in Iraq last month alone. Clashes between security forces and Sunni protesters started in Kirkuk, sparking a wave of violence that quickly spread. Many Iraqis accuse the government of corruption and political unrest, and want the Prime Minister to resign. There are also now fears that sectarian tensions could escalate and see a return to full-blown war. RT's Lucy Kafanov examines the impact of national struggles on everyday life.
