Baghdad Nightlife Regains Its Luster
Lesson Brief
Al Sumaria
Baghdad's nights have gradually begun to regain their former luster. The increase of nightly activity is due in part to a government decision to lift the curfew. While the curfew has been lifted as well as concrete barriers, there is still a very high military and police presence on the streets in order to prevent a terrorist attack.
Look out for this phrase in the article that is heavy on Iraqi dialect.
من شالو الحظر التجوال شي حلو حسينة بحرية كلش قوية - (Roughly) When they lifted the curfew we felt freedom strongly.
