Finally, the army is lifting the concrete barriers from the green entrances

 

Baghdad / Mohammed Dahi

 

 

After midday, military vehicles began removing concrete barriers from some streets leading to the Green Zone, declaring a "partial opening" of the closed zone since US forces entered Iraq in 2003.

The streets of the capital saw Marwa garrison, while trucks stood queues at the entrance to the government area since yesterday morning. 
He called on Prime Minister Adel Abdul Mahdi since taking office to open the Green Zone, and refused to start his work from them, but chose a government site in the area of Alawi, near the center of the capital. 
The move is closer to the steps taken by his predecessor Haidar Abadi in 2015 but did not succeed in the end. 
According to the story of the Iraqi Tamara Dagestani did not have the US forces any plan for the place of concentration in the capital two days before the fall of the statue of Saddam Hussein famous in the courtyard of Paradise in central Baghdad.
"They put the Baghdad map on the table and asked me where all these thousands of Americans would be buried," she said in televised remarks a year after the US forces left Iraq. "I told them that the only place they could go was the central Baghdad area that she had set for them on the map, the green Zone". The term was then invented by some US security personnel to classify it as the safe zone, while the areas outside were described as the "red zone". 
Al-Khadraa lies on the west bank of the Tigris River on the Karkh side. Its borders extend from Al-Qadisiya, Al-Kindi, Al-Harithiya, and Al-Zorra bridge to the north and the Tigris River from the east and south. Facilities. The Al-Rasheed Hotel is located within the Green Zone and crosses its borders alongside Rusafa, which controls the surrounding part of the suspended bridge in the eastern Karrada district.
The Green Zone occupies 10 square kilometers in the heart of Baghdad and is surrounded by a 17-foot-high steel fence topped by barbed wire that runs several kilometers. The area has four ports, protected by special forces. 
And on the roads covered by the lifting of the bulbs, the Baghdad Operations Command said in a statement that the engineering effort continues to prepare the opening of Abu Nwas road towards the Hotel Babylon and the area of Jadiriya, where work is continuing to lift the blocks of concrete (1700) block. 
She also said that the engineering effort continues to work lifting the concrete blocks for the purpose of making the road to the area of seven palaces with two corridors back and forth. Other areas are slated to be lifted over the next two days. 
In the past few days activists on social media (Facebook Twitter) have addressed the issue of delayed opening of the fortified area.
"The postponement of the opening is to prevent a lot of traffic within the Green Zone," said the MP from the Baghdad-based coalition of Sabah al-Ukaili. 
He added that "the process must take longer and be in accordance with plans are considered not urgent," but "the goal of this urgency is to promote a media victory for the new government." 
"It is not important to open the Green Zone. One street may be opened around the green and not the whole area," he said. 
Activists on social networking sites and news websites reported that Americans were refusing to open the Green Zone for fear of possible attacks. 
However, the MP in the coalition of Souron said that "there are no American pressure, even if there were pressures or American refusal to reject this step from the beginning, especially that the streets to be opened very far from the embassy and government offices."
"The process of opening the Green Zone is an ill-conceived step," said Saad al-Muttalibi, a member of the security committee in Baghdad's provincial council. "We are with the opening of the area, but the issue must be studied. "We have to repair the transportation network in Baghdad, before we make the Green Zone rife with wheels such as Rashid Street and Abu Nwas Street and other streets of the capital." 
He added that "the postponement of the opening of the Green Zone, has nothing to do with the US embassy, the subject is not properly planned, especially that former Prime Minister Haider Abadi wanted to open the area But his project failed a few days later. "
A member of the Security Committee in the Baghdad Provincial Council said that "the government area in the green for human waves is not true, there may be intrusions as happened previously, and may differ parties power and return the issue of demonstrations and threats to storm the green .. The people may not agree to parliament and re-enter. 
He added that "the political risks are those who pushed to postpone the opening of the Green Zone and not the security risks, and even if the region opens in the coming days, the opening will not be true, as Abadi previously did."

After 15 Years, Baghdad's Green Zone Begins To Reopen

The Iraqi government began to reopen the heavily-fortified area of Baghdad that's been closed since the U.S. invasion.

By Audrey Esther | December 10, 2018

More than 15 years after the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq, parts of a heavily-fortified area of the capital city reopened to the public. 

On Monday, the Iraqi government partially reopened Baghdad's so-called Green Zone, according to the office of Prime Minister Adel Abdul Mahdi. Monday also marked the one year anniversary of Iraq declaring victory over ISIS. 

The United States established the Green Zone in 2003. It houses embassies, Iraqi government offices, multinational companies and some residences.

The area will reportedly gradually reopen to the public over the next two weeks.

Baghdad gives a special reading to warn the US travel: Embassy fire

Baghdad gives a special reading to warn the US travel: Embassy fire



 Twilight News    
 2 hours ago

Saad Al-Muttalibi, a member of the security committee in the Baghdad Provincial Council, said on Tuesday that the US Embassy in the Iraqi capital issued a warning to its citizens to travel to Iraq linked to the partial opening of the Green Zone in Baghdad. 
"The US warning is a diplomatic message because of the opening of the fortified Green Zone in the center of the capital Baghdad," he said, noting that "the US embassy in Baghdad says that green opening is a new headache." 
He pointed out that "after the opening of the Green Zone will be targeting the US embassy easier by terrorist groups or some armed factions, it will be close to the range of fire," and expected that "the American side may be pressing not to open the embassy in the Green Zone."

The Green Zone is the common name of Baghdad's international neighborhood, established by the US-led coalition forces after the overthrow of Saddam Hussein in 2003. 
The region is one of the most militarized sites in Iraq, including government and military headquarters, the US Embassy, Governmental and foreign countries. 
Iraqi Prime Minister Adel Abdul Mahdi has announced on several occasions his intention to open the Green Zone, in reference to the improvement of the security situation. 
The partial conquest of the Green Zone coincides with the celebration of the defeat of the Dahesh organization, which controlled more than a third of the country's territory in 2014, and made the city of Mosul akin to its capital, before Iraqi forces could defeat it on December 10, 2017.
