Security official reveals: Green will not open for this reason
BAGHDA
D / A security official revealed on Sunday why he did not open the “fortified” Green Zone in front of citizens, while stressing that this decision will not see the light.
“The decision to open the Green Zone is not deliberate, and was rushed by Prime Minister Adel Abdul-Mahdi, and this decision will not be published during the coming period for many reasons,” the official told Iraq News.
“For these reasons, the Green Zone can not be adequately protected, especially if there are popular demonstrations. There is fear that demonstrators will enter the state institutions in the region if the streets are opened,” the official said, asking not to be named.
The security official added that “the decision to stop the opening of parts of the streets of the Green Zone, came after the warnings of high security authorities to put the security zone in particular, which includes important government institutions, and other embassies and international missions.”
