run by sunnis. in paradise square opposite the royal mosque stands a concrete pedestal. here once to the absolute symbol of power a statue of saddam hussein. on april ninth two thousand and three it was torn to the ground and the united states believed it of wonder will. nine years have passed the square is a. and the city appears to be in a state of siege. always that our passenger alley theater director back from exile in paris waited for a long time to see his enemy fall and return to his native city. where i was thrown

in prison and when i got out i was given five days to leave baghdad and iraq jamie to. put folly the combat continues. and it through theatre that he hopes to win it is methodist to reinvest the public with a sense of resistance and a taste for life. i know that out. today i see a country filled with weapons the overriding color in the city is khaki the color of soldiers. i see young people with no future men and women deprived of any feeling of citizenship people have forgotten their rights and their duties. as if they were lost but i completely lost. not. more time to be doing the shoulder bit more than that. in baghdad no one knows who the enemy is anymore sunni's she is islamists christians

each with their armies and militia each fighting the other. not of us i know some of your guys who joined al qaeda just to get some money. so out of the hard. of several al qaeda gives them money whereas the government abandons them farther from jail for those. would have paid to kill here on that floor. michelle phillips so they've ruined their futures their lives and their families find out oh my while home. my for nothing. on october thirty first twenty ten a terrorist group claiming all kind of affiliation occupied the catholic cathedral

in baghdad. five suicide bombers activated their explosive belts fifty eight people were killed. in nine years of occupation of civil and religious wars and attacks of caused more than one hundred ten thousand victims essentially civilian. syriac khaldiyeh an orthodox and armenian churches have become choice targets. al qaeda assassins and sunni and shia fanatics agree on nothing except on a victim the christians they accuse of being western crusaders. baghdad is a raising its a loss tree as christian past. checkpoints

abound every hundred meters crossing baghdad is a permanent obstacle course. but i think iraq is a battlefield for an array of foreign forces. iran supports their shia brothers while saudi arabia age there is the sunnis. and as for the month i live in. a sunny district. in two thousand and six i was all for the it was addicted to rocket fire at least fifty rockets falling on us every day it never stopped i would. you know me the streets were filled with corpses and there was fighting everywhere to show how to you know their ideas revenue the battles rape. for seventy two hours in . the army the minutiae everyone was fighting. i battled and bodies became prey fit to be devoured by stray dogs that my little

girl saw dogs eating the dead which i had never seen before in my life packet which has left me ritual from just. living in baghdad ming surviving attacks but it's also an everyday battle. in the capital of the world's third biggest oil producer the electricity system works for just a few hours a day. the best business in town is selling generators. for khaled my driver a visit to the barber after ten days on the road should be a moment to relax a moment of peace but nothing is that simple. yes quite simply hell here sheer hell that out of. thousand of it's not a normal life like other people have around the world. may god act to improve

things what do you say to the good of will know for sure god is good that. i haven't. been. so hard she a school teacher she's invited us to dinner. i'm . going out of twenty years on. how do you go through it as a woman. i grew up in. and how first the war with iran and then the end. added to american intervention i see. a little but not my first in one thousand nine hundred and the second in two thousand and three. for the iran war my brother was arrested and there was just my dad to take care of the family

all those girls had no work my father ran a small business. we barely grown up when the embargo strangle the whole country can you imagine no fruit or vegetables meat we couldn't afford and fish even more so it's only today that i can buy but we lived in safety the women could move about without any problem we had peace but in poverty i think that the. son i was. among the saw one of my wife is different but as we have guests i can drink we may be poor but we still have a sense of hospitality. abdu and zara a sunni and a shia for the rest couple today war and religion have also imposed by hundreds on love. as the lights go out once again the neighborhoods back up generators take over i've. measured the.

none not one thing that we were hearing. on shia my husband a sunni must have had now after the war the two religions can't intermarry anymore and that's and it wasn't the case before and what was important was the people of the each other and what's the distinction between shia and sunni of sydney it's shameful treating people this way in iraq with all muslims muslim. and so what a muslim man asks for the hand of a muslim woman according to islamic tradition my friend that's all but i think how it was at the end of the war that this division appeared shia sunni. but yet now we've come to threats was headed how does a sunni bear marry a shiite is that we're seeing as we look at that what if the alternative is to get divorced or dalek you know if you don't agree to get divorced you risk death you

could think you're going to janish if not in our neighborhood they shot a woman in front of her husband and children for the unique reason she was shia and he was sunni said but you know she. this morning i'm not just leaving baghdad i'm fleeing baghdad. but the city gates the soldier who checks out passports tells us yet another attack a scar to the capital. was. another checkpoint on the right of babylon we present our passports and passes. a country apprehensive. the sky is like twilight i feel like i'm wandering in the kingdom of the dead it's raining sand.

prayers of punctuated each day on the road i sleep while he converses with his god . amidst the wind blown sand appears the mythical city of babylon. in his delusions of grandeur saddam hussein emerged himself to be its king the heir to the throne the president of the iraqi republic saddam was saying in one nine hundred eighty eight inaugurated the restored city of babylon first built by nebuchadnezzar between six o four and five sixty two b.c. . at the height of his power like the ancient kings before him. built his palace in the heart of the legendary city.

his tower of babel crashed down around him in the dust of pride and ambition. his memory has been left to the ravages of time and the insults of his survivors. plenty shinin free accreditation free transport charges free. range mention free. free studio tied free. download free broadcast quality video for your media projects and free media and on the hearty dot com you.

anytime anywhere. at the end of the road lies the mecca vatican and medina of the shia world. but something about the not al qaeda is the real enemy of iraq and even of all the arab regions i don't believe several terrorist organizations have been exported by neighboring countries but they are responsible for so many victims since baghdad fell. and i would stress that most of the attacks have targeted the shia community that's one of the. pilgrims are well protected here all the officers and soldiers are shia. several million faithful including many from iran come every year to visit the mosques in karbala

a boon for the holy city. religion is a river of gold as the saying goes. we don't know what it's obvious that when a country's native sons defend it things go better and they're always better than an occupier. and invader always has trouble understanding the country they occupy and as the air proverb says no one knows the roads of mecca better than its own inhabitants that shout i have it if i have it. this is. the main prayer takes place in the hussein most. the him i'm sermons a political resonance and a broadcast throughout iraq and the shia world and. the shias today are imposing their numbers and their power.

in the prayers always end with cries to the glory of the prophet hussein the son of ali allegedly designated by mohammed to be his only successor. never hurt them. but many on the underside a million she has been detained and many of them were assassinated and thrown into mass graves and center i myself your servant spent twelve years in iraqi jails my family only received news of me one or two years after i was released. i was even afraid of my own brother i thought he was an officer who come to interrogate me yes we suffered and the prisons were filled with shias for me when you be.

leaving kabbalah is like crossing a graveyard. everywhere all portraits of shia month has fallen for the glory of the prophet hussein mohammed's air. bus. on the baghdad best run highway in the middle of the desert a faithful taxi finally gives up the ghost. i feel suddenly vulnerable alone in the wilderness.

as if by magic a man appears from the sams to help us out perhaps this is the renowned desert hospitality. we had for a camp for the man who maintained the highway once they were all soldiers and saddam's army. when the americans came many deserted. and. without knowing who we are to make room for us to share that. with out of martin indyk iraqi army was hunger thirst and fatigue. a member of your family was taken hostage and she deserves it. you horrible new days when they caught people who ran away they were simply hanging in the thumb one on one of you and i spent seven years in the army and it was very tough. insana most days

a soldier was paid two thousand dinos less than the bank he was carrying was worth we can definitely say we were really miserable at the moment not right about sharing. the highway splits the desert and on each side of the road to bask in the vast oil fields of rumaylah and mushroom. more than half of iraqi production is pumped from this burning desert a treasure chest within a sound. b.p. exxon mobil and the chinese cineplex of already got their hands on the bulk of it. at last we reached bastrop but the euphrates and the tigris meet. travelers once

called the city the venice of the south. who comes to kill us and destroy our country and good it before we said it the americans but the americans have gone and now my general so who else is continuing the job. that nobody knows of there's no work in the situation is unlivable i say yes it was better before. conversely if we talk about security and civic respect we can say it was a hundred percent better under saddam saramago today there's no respect for the citizens as if we were no longer men that's the truth that's honestly what i feel for ya. we are less and less respected before in iraq you could walk with his head held high anywhere in the world and especially at home as long as the state was not affected or undermined things have changed a lot i can tell you that the situation was much better before.

the venice of the self was awash with detritus of all kinds half of the inhabitants are unemployed it's a humanitarian and social disaster area. here we have absolutely nothing. where we going but at that event in this oil rich country we can't find work. this is how we live the children of this country why is it fair does god accept this master is in the middle of all the country's oil wealth it's like the mother of oil but he doesn't seem to gain from it the inhabitants are poor and the streets are filled with the unemployed and it. was once one of the richest cities in iraq today it seems to have been forgotten by both god and mankind because of oil is cruel indeed.

and yet in the heart of the shantytowns is always given freely. and sweet offering . by our government isn't he and when it could i think government doesn't take care of the poor and is only there to save itself until its own pockets i do expect things to change while the focus of oh my god no minister has taken the trouble to come and see us to ask how we survived or ask us if we. need and i think we have nobody to talk to. and so since the americans left the poor and the powerless join the militia and the

terrorist groups who at least provide money and protection. everywhere in the city are portraits of the shia in mum and saddam his radical troops' feet on poverty. the road ends at our file on the banks of the persian gulf the end of our journey. this is the outback hoyle terminal rising from the water far from terrorist attacks and on a constant military surveillance where iraq's fortune oil flows in and out. the country's fortune and perhaps misfortune two. wars here have always been closed in the same color black.

and foul was at the mouth of the shuttle our best during where the tigris joins the euphrates forming the border with a ramp. on the iranian bank a gigantic portrait of the m.m. how many is there to taunt us a reminder that americans have gone leaving pandora's box wide open. been especially on me personally i never thought i know collaborated with the americans. which i would show i work i am and always have been a taxi driving us. i still can't cross the country no. to south gen from that hotel and follow all taxi i go wherever i can find work have that i don't hesitate god be praised all i want to still live my.

twenty days on the road perhaps one hundred checkpoints. with my friend khaled and we've crossed a country which is officially no longer at war but where peace is not being restored a country divided by sectarian shia sunni and kurd communities a country where tara is a daily issue. from zoho they'll be ill so their money or kook muscle to create for. baghdad bob alone kabbalah bastra as far as i'll file we've traveled

a road where danger is ever present. khaled was under the protection of his god and me maps of providence.
