The Iraq war drives front-page retrospectives this week, as The Independent stands firm in its opposition and brands the conflict a “march of folly”. War also looms in the Balkans, as the US warns Slobodan Milosevic to prepare for airstrikes amid escalating violence in Kosovo. A crisis of a different kind unfolds in a truly bizarre story involving the Italian mafia, where a tale of pollution and corruption threatens Europe’s mozzarella supply. Yet, moments of hope also define the week. Germany stands on the cusp of reunification as East Germans vote decisively for Helmut Kohl, and decades later, Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe finally walks free after the UK strikes a landmark deal with Iran. Explore a world in tumult across these front pages of The Independent.
