Iraq reopens central Green Zone in Baghdad after situation ‘stabilized’
Iraq has reopened the central Green Zone in Baghdad,
two days after temporarily sealing it off and suspending internet services, the
Iraqi News Agency reported on Tuesday.
Citing their correspondent, the news agency reported
that the fortified Green Zone opened after the “situation stabilized and life
returned to normal.”
They added that the move came after the success of
negotiations between the prime minister’s office and demonstrators, where the
government is working toward meeting the protesters’ demands.
The fortified Green Zone houses government buildings
and foreign embassies in the Iraqi capital.
On Saturday, Prime Minister Adil Abdul Mahdi
announced a series of reforms in response to protesters’ demands, including
allowing low-income residents to apply for residential land, will be enforced.
