“The level of violence reached its lowest level in 2011, with 2,771 people killed, according to UN figures. But it is once again on the rise, fuelled by widespread Sunni discontent with the Shiite-led government, and fanned by the civil war in neighbouring Syria. ‘A lot of the radical groups are getting oxygen from what is going on there,’ Motta said of Syria. ‘The more people die (in Iraq), the greater the chance of counter-reaction and the greater chance it has to spiral out of control,’ he said. ‘If the casualties keep going at this rate it will be well over 5,000 at the end of the year, so we’re looking back at figures of 2008,’ he said.”
