A Protective Wall To Encircle Baghdad
Baghdad which is the home to approximately five million residents, will need a concrete wall of enormous dimensions. It will be 112 kilometres long and 15 feet high.
The entry and exit to the city will be regulated at eight gates, which will be the only access points. This is likely to cause immense discomfort to the citizens, as it would take at least an hour to enter the city. The security will be extremely tight and a person who wants to enter the city will be thoroughly scanned.
“We want to stop the terrorist from sneaking in. With the wall it will be much easier," said Shatha al-Obeidi, an aide to Salah Abdul Razzaq, the Governor of Baghdad.
