Baghdad Split Between Clerics and US Forces (2003)

A Tale of Two Cities (2003) - Sadr City in Northern Baghdad is now governed by Shi'ite clerics. It has become a virtual 'no-go' area for US troops.

In the back room of a Mosque in Baghdad, six members of the Fedayeen are being held prisoner. They have been severely beaten and are clearly frightened. But their captors are not coalition forces or policemen. They're being detained by the local Shi'ite cleric - Sheik Saeed. "Those Fedayeen who killed will be killed and those who didn't will be held to account," he proclaims. Saeed's supporters govern everything in Sadr City from the traffic flow to the hospitals and clinics. They were even able to persuade looters to return stolen goods. Now American troops no longer bother patrolling this area, preferring to concentrate on the middle class suburbs that house most of Saddam's former supporters. Baghdad has effectively been split into two cities.

[@Awakeningspirit20]

I remember growing up in those times, when I was 7, almost nostalgically thinking about the 'good' we must have been doing over there, waiting on the freedom we'd bring to Iraq. Two decades later, I'm 27 and still waiting and there's no freedom coming :(
