US walling - off Baghdad City with a fear of so called sectarian violence. Currently they have made this kind of first barrier, in Adhamiya district but have plan to seal off other districts like Doura.

Will this kind of heartlessness towards Iraqi nation divide their nationhood??? They seem to opt it anyway. divisions have always created problems rather solving it, similarly raising such isolation among citizens will only create vacuity to enhance sectarianism.... a clear division of land!.




Here, I am sharing you some of views from the Iraqi people, almost all annoyed by its presence.

Nuri al-Maliki, Iraq's prime minister: "I oppose the building of the wall and its construction will stop. There are other methods to protect neighborhoods."

Adnan Shuhab, a resident: "Firstly, they want to separate us and put sectarianism in our minds. Secondly, we are Iraqis and we have been unified for thousands of years."

Amer Najim, Baghdad resident, claimed the intention behind the walls was to isolate Iraqis: "By such a decision, they're trying to make sectarian provocation. When they isolate Adhamiyah from Sadr city or Ghazaliyah, they're officially trying to make provocation."

Um Haider: "I'm astonished by the way officials think. Is that reasonable? Protecting al-Adhamiyah by segregating it from adjacent neighbourhoods?
"Erecting concrete walls between neighbourhoods is not a solution to the collapse in security and the rampant violence. If so, Baghdadis would find themselves in a maze of high walls overnight."

Ahmed al-Dulaimi: "They are going to punish all of us because of a few terrorists here and there."
"We are in our fourth year of occupation and we are seeing the number of walls increasing day after day, suffocating the people more and more."

"The Americans will provoke more trouble with this," one resident, Arkan Saeed, told the BBC. "They're telling us the wall is to protect us from the Shia militia and they're telling the Shia they're protecting them from us.
”But it's the Americans who started all the sectarian violence in the first place."

Another resident, Mustafa, said: "I resent the barrier. It will make Adhamiya a big prison."
