Sadr City (Arabic: مدينة الصدر - Madinat aṣ-Ṣadr) formerly known as الثورة and Saddam City, is a suburb district of the city of Baghdad, Iraq. It was built in 1959 by Prime Minister Abdul Karim Qassim and later unofficially renamed Sadr City after Ayatollah Mohammad Mohammad Sadeq al-Sadr.
Sadr City (or more accurately Thawra District — Arabic: حيّ الثورة - ħayy ath-Thawra) is one of nine administrative districts in Baghdad. A public housing project neglected by Saddam Hussein, Sadr City holds around 1 million residents.
Sadr City was built in Iraq in 1959 by Prime Minister Abdul Karim Qassim in response to grave housing shortages in Baghdad. At the time named Revolution City (مدينة الثورة "Al-Thawra"), it provided housing for Baghdad's urban poor, many of whom had come from the countryside and who had until then lived in appalling conditions. It quickly became a stronghold of the Iraqi Communist Party, and resistance to the Baathist-led coup of 1963 was strong there.
In 1982, the district was renamed Saddam City. After the foreign occupation of Baghdad in April 2003, the district was unofficially renamed Sadr City after deceased shiite leader Mohammad Mohammad Sadeq al-Sadr.

Corb Lund debuts his new album Things That Can't Be Undone at a CBC Music First Play Live. Subscribe for new videos: http://bit.ly/cbcmusicYT The name Corb Lund sounds like it was hewn from the majestic Rocky Mountains and thrust out onto the Alberta prairie. Being a fourth-generation cattleman, Lund also has the aura of a man who's comfortable on the ranch. Some of the best songs on his new album, Things That Can't Be Undone, capture the essence of the modern rancher. "S Lazy H" is a heartbreaking song about losing the family ranch, while "Weight of the Gun" takes an obvious metaphor to sublime corners of the acreage. The album closes with "Sunbeam," a tribute to Lund's young niece who tragically died recently. Lund was reluctant to include the tender tribute because it's so personal, bu...
May 2003 Sadr City in Northern Baghdad is now governed by Shi'ite clerics. It has become a virtual 'no-go' area for US troops. In the back room of a Mosque in Baghdad, six members of the Fedayeen are being held prisoner. They have been severely beaten and are clearly frightened. But their captors are not coalition forces or policemen. They're being detained by the local Shi'ite cleric -- Sheik Saeed. "Those Fedayeen who killed will be killed and those who didn't will be held to account," he proclaims. Saeed's supporters govern everything in Sadr City from the traffic flow to the hospitals and clinics. They were even able to persuade looters to return stolen goods. Now American troops no longer bother patrolling this area, preferring to concentrate on the middle class suburbs that hous...

On April 6, 2008, the Iraqi National Security Council released a statement calling on all political parties to disband their militias if they want to participate in the elections later in the year. The statement was seen to be directed at Muqtada al-Sadr, who derives most of his support from Sadr City. On the same day, a joint U.S. and Iraqi military force (Iraqi elements drawn from the 11th Division) moved into the southern suburbs of Sadr City, provoking heavy street fighting as militiamen opened fire with RPGs and automatic weapons. U.S. Apache helicopters provided air support during the battle, launching Hellfire missiles at militiamen and their vehicles...The raid was a part of an attempt to stop mortar and rocket fire on the Green Zone by seizing neighborhoods in Sadr City use...
In what can only be described as a giant monument to the U.S. military's failure to quell the violence in Iraq and unite the country, they have given up and are attempting to wall off the entire town of Sadr City, the home of the greatest concentration of insurgents in Iraq. Think of this the next time they tell you "The Surge is working!"

Just a sample of pics and videos from B. Co 1/2 SCR's deployment from 07-09 I made this video one month after the battle was over, so some of the "quotes" may or may not be completely accurate, but the fact remains that BULL Company kicked major ass and we were a key player in this epic battle. Sadr City was part of our battle space for quite some time before everything kicked off in March 08, Before that time, B.CO 1/2 SCR was conducting kill/capture missions inside the city. go to www.strykerbook.com to find out more. Not all videos were taken by B.co 1/2 scr or were in Sadr city but the majority of them were.
October 2007 A rare look at life inside Iraq's most notorious slum. Sadr City, Baghdad, has become a breeding ground for radicalism. Many of its three million citizens depend on Muqtada al-Sadr for support. "We are a republic of widows and orphans", one school teacher explains. "The mosques don't have enough coffins to hold funerals." The inhabitants of Sadr City want only one thing for the future: stability. For them, US troops are associated with death. Since the beginning of the surge, US troops have raided Sadr City almost every night. (more)

Baghdad is shaken with yet another bomb blast, this time the strongest since Prime Minister Haidar al Abadi took office. The ISIL terrorist group took responsibility of the attack, which claimed the lives of at 59 people in the capital’s Sadr city. As the country’s army, backed by popular mobilization units, continues to battle ISIL militants, the question, still remains whether peace will ever return to Iraq. Amid all the violence, the U-S army chief General Raymond Odierno has said that Iraq might be partitioned. In this edition of The Debate, we ask what is the future of the ISIL Takfiri insurgency in Iraq; and how effective has the US role in Iraq been in combating ISIL.

Iraqis have held a huge rally to mark the December-withdrawal of US forces from Iraq in the main square of Shiite enclave of Sadr City in Baghdad. Men and boys waved Iraqi flags and raised banners praising those who had fought against the US presence in Iraq. The influential cleric Muqtada al-Sadr addressed his supporters by video link from Iran. He urged the Iraqi government to release all Sadri detainees kept in Iraqi prisons. Members of his militia, the Mahdi army marched through the square in yellow uniforms, trampling over American and British flags. Meanwhile, the 33-year-old senior member of Islamic Jihad, Khader Adnan, has been on hunger strike for 55 days. He has lost 60 pounds in weight and he might be in his last hours. Adnan is being held in what is known as adm...
Keep me, baby, on my toes.
Push me to the edge.
Pull me up like a balloon,
but don't tie off the end.
Keep me, baby, in the dark
for that I should see
any indiscretion, dear,
that might discourage me.
And next time you call up,
I'll tightrope on the line,
with steady hands I'll anxiously
prepare to call you mine.
But keep me, baby, on my toes,
so when that wind does blow
it lifts me with no strain or tear
