After Desert Storm: Baghdad, and the aftermath (Part 3)

In the final episode of our series on Operation Desert Storm, we are telling the story of the war in Baghdad, and where this military operation has left the region 30 years later. Has it all gone to ashes, or are there a few things that have survived? We speak with the people we met through this series to hear what they saw and felt during those tumultuous weeks of war, how it affects their lives today and impacted the region and the world.

Odai al-Najjar, Al Jazeera news editor; Salah Nasrawi, former Baghdad correspondent for The Associated Press; Nasser al-Hussainan, retired vice admiral of the Kuwaiti Navy; Abdulwahab al-Qassab, retired major general, Iraqi Armed Forces; Eric T Olson, retired admiral, US Special Operations Command; Kate Adie, former BBC chief correspondent.
