US walls-off more Baghdad districts
Published by Hossam el-Hamalawy April 22nd, 2007 in Amreeka, Iraq, MilitaryFrom Al-Jazeera…
The US military has said it is extending its scheme of erecting concrete barriers around districts in Baghdad in an attempt to quell sectarian violence.
US troops began placing six-tonne sections of wall around Adhamiyah, a mainly Sunni Arab area surrounded on three sides by Shia communities in east Baghdad, two weeks ago.
Residents have reacted angrily, saying the move will isolate them and worsen sectarian tensions.
US officials in Baghdad said on Sunday that four more neighbourhoods will become so-called “gated communities”.
According to reports, the districts of Amiriya, Khadra, and East and West Rashid will be included in the controversial scheme.
