<p>• عاجل :اغلاق الحرمين الشريفين على الزوار !  </p>
<p><a href="http://www.karbalanews.net/artc.php?id=3813" target="_blank">شبكة كربلاء للأنباء - « خاص » - 28/08/2007م</a>  </p>
<p><img style="margin: 10px 5px 5px 0px" src="http://www.karbalanews.net/showimg.php?id=1220" align="left" border="0"/>  </p>
<p>كربلاء المقدسة -&nbsp; قال مراسلنا في مدينة كربلاء ان قوات حماية الحرمين الشريفين قاموا باغلاق الحرمين على الزوار المتوافدين&nbsp;الى كربلاء بعد مواجهات يوم امس و التي اسفرت عن مقتل اربعة اشخاص على الاقل و اصابة عشرين آخرين .<br />و اضاف ان مواجهات وقعت اليوم&nbsp; في كربلاء لم يتسنى معرفة القتلى و المصابين حتى الساعة و ذكر ان حالة من القلق و التوتر تسود المدينة خوفا من اي عملا ارهابي يستهدف الزوار .  </p>
<p>هذا و قد ناشد مدير مكتب الصدر في كربلاء &#8220;الجميع&#8221; تهدئة الوضع وعدم إطلاق النار.&nbsp;وقال مدير مكتب الشهيد الصدر في كربلاء الشيخ عبد الهادي المحمداوي، خلال خطبة ألقاها في الصحن الحسيني الشريف&nbsp;&#8221; إننا ندعو إلى انسحاب الجميع من أماكنهم، وعدم إطلاق النار.&#8221;<br />وكان شهود عيان قالوا إن إشتباكات مسلحة إندلعت، مساء يوم امس ، في منطقة باب بغداد التي تبعد مائتي متر فقط شمال مرقد ابا الفضل&nbsp;العباس<img src="http://www.karbalanews.net/images/prefix/a2.gif"/> وسط كربلاء بين عناصر مسلحة وقوات الشرطة العراقية وأفراد حماية الحرمين، في وقت يتوافد فيه على المدينة أعداد كبيرة من الزوار لأداء الزيارة الشعبانية وإحياء ذكرى ولادة&nbsp; الامام المهدي (عجل الله تعالى فرجه الشريف).  </p>
<p>وأضاف المحمداوي &#8220;على الجميع أن يمتثل لأمر القائد مقتدى الصدر&#8230; الذي حرم دم المسلم على المسلم، وأن يعود الجميع إلى أماكنهم.&#8221;ودعا المسؤول الصدري في كلمته &#8220;المسؤولين في العتبتين إلى إعطاء الأمر إلى عناصر الحماية بعدم إطلاق النار، تحت أي ظرف كان.  </p>
<p>وأوضح أحد الشهود&nbsp; أن الإشتباكات إندلعت &#8220;عندما&nbsp;امتنعت مجموعة من الراجلين عن قيام قوات الشرطة بتفتيشهم عند&nbsp;إحدى نقاط&nbsp; السيطرة قرب باب بغداد و قيام احد افراد الشرطة برمي الرصاص في الهواء لتفريق المجموعة &#8220;.<br />وأضاف &#8221; تسببت الإشتباكات في مقتل&nbsp;اربعة اشخاص وجرح عدد من الزوار، هذا و قد أغلقت المنطقة من قبل&nbsp;الشرطة على الفور.&#8221;  </p>
<p>الى ذلك دعا مكتب المرجع الديني آية الله العظمى السيد محمد تقي المدرسي الى ضرورة التهدئة و ضبط النفس .<br />و من المرتقب صدور بيان من مكتب آية الله العظمى السيد علي السيستاني بهذا الصدد بعد ما شهدنا بيان التهدئة عقب تفجير سامراء .  </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Mosul people groan under bitter memory of occupation<br />By Ibrahim Zannun</p>
<p>Mosul, Apr. 8 (VOI) – Concrete barricades, abundant assassinations, unidentified bodies littering the streets here or there, rampant unemployment and a nightmarish vision are haunting Iraqis&#8217; minds on the 4th anniversary of the occupation of their country.</p>
<p>However, they are attaching badges of Iraqi flags and maps on their chests as students of Mosul University to mark the 4th anniversary of Iraq occupation in their own way to express their unity.</p>
<p>&#8220;We should call the spade a spade and we should not fool ourselves giving names to occupation. This is just an American stratagem that might by sold to the (American) people, but the people of Iraq will never buy this,&#8221; Ahmad Hilal of the Administration &amp; Economics College, Mosul University, told the independent news agency Voices of Iraq (VOI).</p>
<p>Hilal said despite all that blood, the Iraqis are still awake and would never replace the word occupation with liberation.</p>
<p>Khalid Fawwaz of the fine arts college said &#8220;when the walls of my city are draped in black banners and the soil turns red with blood, all the slogans brought about by the occupation forces go down the drain.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Today marks the fourth anniversary of the entry of foreign troops into Iraq and the collapse of the former regime. An opinion poll conducted in Samawa in the southern Iraqi province of Muthanna revealed different views on what has been achieved since the downfall of Saddam&#8217;s regime and what is to be expected in the coming period. </p>
<p>&#8220;Destruction, injustice, administrative corruption, the waste of public money and the destruction of the homeland and citizens,&#8221; said Ali Hussein Kadhem, 39, giving his opinion in a few words.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This posting is an update and supplement to <a href="http://gorillasguides.com/author/markfromireland/">markfromireland&#8217;s</a> posting <a href="http://gorillasguides.blogspot.com/2006/07/dividing-baghdad.html" target="_blank">Dividing Baghdad?</a> published on Saturday, July 22, 2006. In that posting Mark looked at the human and economic disruption dividing Baghdad would bring. As predicted the attacks on, and within, Baghdad have continued and intensified. These attacks are a combination of:</p>
<ul>
<li>Shatter attacks on the occupation strongholds.</li>
<li>Attacks aimed making the city ungovernorable.</li>
<li>Attacks that are part of the continuing siege of Baghdad.</li>
<li>Attacks that are part of the closing stages of a failed occupation - repeated battles for control of the capital.</li>
</ul>
<p>In his July 2006 posting Mark listed the various Baghdadi neighbourhoods and listed first by whether they were in Al Rassafa or Al Karkh and then by the primary activity carried on within them and their average income level. He summarised as follows:</p>
<dl>
<dt style="font-weight: bold">Summary:  </dt>
<dd>Baghdad is divided by the Tigris River into two main areas: the left bank of the river is known as Al Rassafa, the right bank as Al Karkh. As a rule of thumb:  </dd>
<dt style="font-weight: bold">Al Rassafa  </dt>
<dd>Highly commercialised, older, more run down, and the population is generally less prosperous (middle to low income.)  </dd>
<dt style="font-weight: bold">Al Karkh  </dt>
<dd>Less heavily commercialised and in general more prosperous (middle to high income.) The exception to the &#8220;less heavily commercialised&#8221; rule is Al Mansur.</dd>
</dl>
<h3>Baghdad&#8217;s Changing Sectarian Mix</h3>
<p>In this posting we look at the changing sectarian mix of much of Baghdad, the posting consists of a series of clickable screen-shots prepared by Um Thalit and is intended to provide readers with an overview of the changing nature of Baghdad society under the impact of the political war caused by the ongoing collapse of the American sponsored green zone government. Each clickable thumbnail will open in a new window or tab depending on how your browser is configured: <a href="http://gorillasguides.com/2007/04/09/dividing-baghdad-revisited/#more-945" class="more-link">(more&#8230;)</a></p>
