Thursdays in Baghdad

The Fifth Floor

Available for over a year

It was a busy night in Baghdad on Thursday, with a suicide attack in the north of the city. This, in a place that is facing increased threats of violence. You would be forgiven for thinking that people there would be cowering in their houses. But 麻豆社 Arabic's Omar Hekmat tells us why Thursdays are traditionally a day of celebration in the country and last night was no different. Image Credit: Getty
