Normalizing Baghdad 2026: Removing Green Zone Barriers by Al-Sudani's Order Following De-escalation

 The Prime Minister's Office announced the full reopening of Green Zone access points, lifting security restrictions established during the recent conflict in 2026. Previously, special forces had blocked key routes with concrete walls and armor due to ongoing protests and military tensions. This reopening reflects a stabilized security environment in Baghdad, as the government prioritizes public mobility and urban accessibility in the second quarter of 2026.
