Those trees look pretty young, is this natural regeneration or afforestation?

which trees !

This stadium is completed ! :)

which trees !

The ones in the very first picture.

they are natural ones Kurdistan is always as green as it gets

Whats painful about Halabja is that it has been neglected by the KRG, and its reletavily poor.

I would have assumed it would be build with Marble due to its heroic stance against the Baasthis scum

martyrs of the gas attack

i wouldn't say neglected but not much looked after as it deserves yes i agree with you . the president of the KRG Dr Barham Salih paid a recent visit to halabja , they are opening a University there and a massive youth center

I am aware of that but trees usually do not line themselves up in straight lines.

I am aware of that but trees usually do not line themselves up in straight lines.

these trees are part of the "reforestation" campaign. I've seen similar outside sulaymania, shaqlawa etc... in kurdistan as well as in najaf, karbala, samawa etc.. in the south.

oh yeah my bad thanks for the correction shaytalElkebir

WOW... THATS NOT POLITICS, and any picture thread with a town like halabja must have a caption that reminds us of the brutality that lies behind the picturesque setting
