The Arc of Triumph (قوس النصر )- The Crossed Sabers in Baghdad, Iraq (Green Zone)
The Arc of Triumph; (Arabic: قوس النصر; qaūs al-naṣr), also called the Swords of Qādisīyah، and Hands of Victory in some Western sources, are a pair of triumphal arches in central Baghdad, Iraq. Each arch consists of a pair of hands holding crossed swords. The two arches mark the entrances to a parade-ground constructed to commemorate then Iraqi President Saddam Hussein's declaration of victory over Iran in the Iran-Iraq war (though the war was considered by many to have ended in stalemate). The arches were opened to the public on August 8, 1989. It is one of Baghdad's sights and monuments.
In 1986 (two years before the war's end) the government of Iraq began the construction of a festival and parade ground in Zawra Park, near the extensive presidential complex in the center of Baghdad. Known as Grand Festivities Square, it comprised a large parade ground, an extensive review pavilion, and the two arches. The official name of the arches, the Swords of Qādisiyyah, is an allusion to the historical Battle of al-Qādisiyyah.
Iraq's leading sculptor, Adil Kamil, won the commission to design and execute the construction of the arches, which were based on a concept sketch made by president Saddam Hussein. The design consists of a pair of massive hands emerging from the ground, each holding a 140 foot (43 m) long sword. A small flagpole rises from the point where the swords meet, at a point about 130 feet (40 m) above the ground. Kamil used photographs and plaster casts of Saddam's forearms to model for the design of the hands. When Kamil died in 1987, with the monument incomplete, his position was assumed by fellow artist Mohammed Ghani Hikmat. Ghani personally took an impression of one of Saddam's thumbs, and the resulting fingerprint was added to the mold for one of the arches' thumbs.
The arches were made by an international consortium led by the German foundry H+H Metalform. The blades of the stainless steel swords weigh 24 tons each. Cast in Iraq, they are partly composed of metal from guns and tanks of Iraqi soldiers killed in the Iran-Iraq war. The hands and arms of the monument are cast in bronze, cast in the United Kingdom at the Morris Singer Foundry. The arms rest on concrete plinths, the form of which make the arms appear to burst up out of the ground. Each plinth holds 2,500 helmets of, what Saddam claimed, Iranian soldiers killed during the war, and are held in nets which spill the helmets on to the ground beneath.
On the day the monument was dedicated in 1990, Saddam rode under the arch astride a white horse. It has been suggested this was an allusion to the slain Shiite martyr Hussein, killed in Karbala in AD 680. The martyr Hussein's death caused the rift between Shiite and Sunni Muslims.
The site was also home to the Museum of Gifts to the President and a performing arts center. The museum was located on the ground floor of the grand reviewing pavilion where Saddam was known to review the Republican Guard while firing a weapon in the air. The museum contained ordinary items donated by Iraqis during his rule. Items included cheap plastic ornaments and drawings donated by Iraqi children.
The Grand Festivities Square also contained a large reflecting pool. The surrounding grassy areas hosted Iraqis during military parades. Adding to the festive appeal of the grounds were three refreshments booths that sold ice cream, cold beverages, and candy.
Samir al-Kalil's book Monument: Art, Vulgarity, and Responsibility in Iraq[4] describes the Arc of Triumph and Saddam's programme of producing lavish monument celebrating his reign.
The monument was not destroyed during the 1991 Gulf War, though General Norman Schwarzkopf wanted to.[5] The arches remain standing in what is now the International Zone of Baghdad. The hands are hollow and many troops and other coalition visitors have climbed up into them in order to protrude from the point at which the swords meet the hands, generally to have souvenir pictures taken.
[edit]Controversy
In February 2007, it was reported that the new Iraqi government had organized the Committee for Removing Symbols of the Saddam Era and that the Arc of triumph monument had begun to be dismantled, which drew protests from Iraqi and preservationist groups.
The demolition began on Tuesday, February 20, 2007. At that time, 10-foot (3.0 m) chunks had been cut out of the bronze monument. Numerous Iraqi bystanders and coalition troops were seen taking helmets and bits of the monument away as souvenirs. The decision to remove the monument, made by Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, was challenged by U.S. Ambassador Zalmay Khalilzad, who blocked the demolition on February 21.
The government of Iraq reversed its earlier plans to demolition the monument. Restoration efforts were launched in 2011.
In February 2011, Iraqi authorities began the restoration of the monument as a sign of reconciliation.

LEADIN:
An entertainment park in Baghdad that was largely destroyed during the 2003 Iraq war is now returning to its former glory.
Zawraa Luna Park has been restored by the Baghdad Mayor's office, complete with a zoo, fairground rides and an open-air theatre.
STORYLINE:
The grand and colourful gates of Zawraa Luna Park in Baghdad: the starting point for a family day out in Baghdad.
In a country suffering from economic recession and ongoing violence, the amusement park gives visitors the chance to relax and have fun.
''Zawraa park is the only big amusement park in Baghdad in which we can enjoy ourselves. There are restaurants, games and a big zoo. This Luna Park develops day by day, says one visitor.
But it hasn't always been this way.
The park was built by the Baghdad Mayor's Office in the early 1970s.
It housed a zoo that was home to more than 516 kinds of birds and animals and was a much loved visitor spot.
During the war in 2003, Iraqi troops took over the wide green areas of the park to house their premises.
Much of the zoo, sculptures, restaurants and monuments were destroyed during the war, and the facilities were neglected in subsequent years.
But the Baghdad Mayor's office has now restored many of its original features.
This area now falls within the borders of the well-secured Green Zone.
It now boasts children's games, a zoo, exhibitions, a summer theatre, an open air cinema, fountains, lakes, restaurants and coffee shops.

Temperatures regularly above 47C in Iraq
(1 Jul 2017) Iraq is in the middle of a heat wave with temperatures regularly rising above 47 degrees Celsius (113 Fahrenheit) during the day.
Temperatures soared to more than 40 degrees Celsius in the capital Baghdad on Saturday.
Many young boys and men flocked to Tigris River and swimming pools to escape the burning temperatures. Such heatwaves add to the population's hardships as the country suffers from a lack of electricity.
Animals are also suffering from such heatwave.
Iraqis have endured power shortages for decades as the infrastructure suffered from neglect brought on by wars and UN trade sanctions under former leader Saddam Hussain.
Billions of dollars have been spent trying to fix the grid since the 2003 US-led invasion, but many Iraqis, mainly the Baghdadi residents receive an estimated eight to 12 hours of national power per day.
