In just a few weeks, the United Nations' special mission to Iraq will leave the country for good. The UN Assistance Mission for Iraq, known as UNAMI, has been in the country for 22 years and was set up shortly after the US invasion of Iraq back in 2003. UNAMI's exit marks "the start of a new chapter rooted in Iraq's leadership of its own future," UNAMI boss Mohamed al-Hassan said earlier this week, as he delivered the organization's final briefing.
