Iraq | Anti-WarPHOTOS OF MARCH 19TH PROTESTS IN BAGHDAD
Photos of a demonstration against the ocupation and for Iraqi unity in Baghdad.  security.jpg On the day before the anniversary of the US led invasion of Iraq, a demonstration took place in Baghdad in tandem with protests around the world against the violence of the occupation. The protest was also a powerful show of unity between Sunni and Shia muslims. The marches started with the Shia's in Khadamiya, and the Sunni's across the river in Adamiya. The two groups met just as the Shia's came over the bridge, and emotions were high as they merged into one. They then walked for together to a public square where speakers denounced the occupation and called for unity between all Iraqis.
