The Al-Zafraniya area in southeastern Baghdad witnessed armed clashes and intense gunfire early this Monday, with conflicting information regarding the reasons behind the incident. Video clips showed strong clashes and ongoing gunfire, which local sources indicated were between the Federal Police and groups considered unlawful or armed factions. Uncontrolled militias attacked the Federal Police in Al-Zafraniya. Social media platforms reported the martyrdom of two Federal Police personnel and a significant number of injuries. Questions arise: how long will this unregulated weaponry continue to harvest the lives of civilians and security forces? How long will this recklessness persist?
