Baghdad Green Zone set to open around the clock
Baghdad’s high-security Green Zone, home to the Iraqi parliament and US embassy, will be opened to traffic around the clock from today, the government said.
“From the first day of Eid al-Fitr” marking the end of the Muslim month of fasting for Ramadan, “the Green Zone will be completely open”, Prime Minister Adel Abdel Mahdi’s office said in a statement.
“By doing this, we are showing that we are convinced the security situation is better” in Baghdad, Abdel Mahdi told a news conference on Monday evening
