Baghdad’s ‘Green Zone’ reopens
Also known as the International Zone, this area will now be open for Iraqis to pass through without checkpoints.
Getting around Baghdad will be a bit easier for everyone these days now that the International Zone is being handed over to Iraqi police.
The heavily fortified Zone has been a symbol of insecurity for years.
Now, security forces are effectively declaring the Iraqi capital safe by removing the checkpoints and barriers.
