The Deportation of Iraqis refers to the forced or accidental displacement and ethnic targeting of Iraqi Arabs during and after the U.S.-led 2003 invasion of Iraq, involving various groups and militias, including actions such as expulsions, home demolitions, killings, and retaliatory violence against Arab civilians.
The Reversal of Arabisation
After the 2003 U.S.-led invasion of Iraq, many Iraqi Arabs who had been settled in northern areas like Kirkuk during the Ba'athist Arabization campaigns were forcefully displaced. Reports emerged of Kurdish groups reclaiming land, and described Arabs being pressured to leave, sometimes through home demolitions.[8][9]
For the Arab settler families, the war was a devastating blow, leaving them homeless, often after living for decades in the Arabized villages[10]
