Operation : Adhamyia

As you may have heared what's been going on lately in Adhamyia, and
maybe you haven't because of the media mask from both the Americans and
the iraqi government.
Its been 3 days since the attack on the American patrol which ended up
killing 9 American soldiers and starving all the population of
Adhamyia.


Here comes what happened:
Day 1:
Thursday 10 am, an American tank gets bombed by a roadside bomb and 9 soldiers were dead, then huge battle starts between American soldiers and unknown (or as I may say no one), ending up on destroying the main underground water pipe which supplies the whole street, and destroying high tension electricity wires which went down laying on the street and electrifying the drowned street.After the shootings from the American side, while the American tank was still burning, two patrols of ING comes to back the American patrol against again "no one", and continue to shoot with them randomly and destroying more stuff and ruining the surrounding houses. pictures may speak up for themselves.







Then after about 30 continueous minutes of shooting arrives a fire
fighters team of the civil defense and extinguishs the burning tank.then shooting stops and silence finally is reached, two hours later the ING leaves, and the American patrol remains, I assumed they were still gathering the pieces of the blown up soldiers. finally at around 6 pm,
the American patrol leaves and the street was opened again, people went out and headed to the explosion scene to check out the damages. Some of the remaining piece of the dead soldiers were still there, Alqa`eda members diffuse to the street and gather around the scene and start to
take pictures of their achievement.
10 minutes later a huge number of American heavy tanks and hummers come back to the scene again and arrest all the people who were standing in the scene but bad luck as I heared alqa`eda members has already left the scene, as I heared the arrested individuals were driven to an
unknown destination and never been seen after the arressment.
Then Antar sequre (Gate of Adhamyia) gets blocked and no cars were allowed to get in or out of the neighbourhood, (my dad had to go somewhere else because he was not allowed to enter the area).


Day 2:
Waking up on the sound of American soldiers and hummers roaming the street, streets were all blocked and shops were all closed. A child lost his leg because of an American tank ran over him, and left him without help, he was discoverd by locals 2 hours after he was injured and they found his leg two meters away from him, he was taken into some house and his leg was put in a refrigerator, I don't know if he's still alive or dead.

Day 3:
The neighbourhood is still besieged and no cars are allowed to get in or out of the neighbourhood, but people were allowed to exit the neighbourhood on foot, my friends were leaving to Syria, they had to carry their luggage till anter sequre and then hired a taxi from there. A man who was pushing a carriage filled up with vegetables was stopped at Antar sequare by INGs and was not allowed to enter the neighbourhood with the carriage, the ING said to him "I have orders not to let any GoD DAMN thing to enter Adhamyia".
Day 4:
I had a final exam so I had to go to college, I went on foot to Antar sequare and took a taxi from over there to college and did the same thing when returning home. You can see in this vedio how empty and scary the street looks when I was walking to Antar sequare.









this is how it looks like from out side Antar sequare.


Anyway, this operation is just not doing both sides any good, if as they say they are after Alqa`eda and this operation is beneficial for the people of the neighbourhood, well I see no benefit gained of ending up dying due to starving or lack of medications.

I'm sorry for those 9 soldiers who has died due to the attack but I'm much more sorry for the innocent people of the neighbourhood who may die because of this siege.

Anyway: Where is the Iraqi government from all this?? huh?? or is Adhamyia not a part of Baghdad, and haven't Almaliki said no the siege will not be constructed and he ordered to stop working on it.well guess what prime minister of the green zone, the siege is complete and you may kiss your ass because it seems like no one follows your orders, you're just a crown puppet moved by Americans, Alhakiem, Alsistani and Muqtada Alsadr.
