Salam's diary
The extraordinary diary of the Baghdad blogger, Salam Pax
Friday, March 21, 3.13pm
The most disturbing news today has come from Al-Jazeera. They said that
nine B52 bombers have left the airfield in Britain and are flying
"presumably" towards Iraq, as if they would be doing a spin around the block. Anyway they have 6 hours to get here.
Last night was very quiet in Baghdad. Today in the morning I went out to
get bread and groceries. There were no Ba'ath party people stopping us from
leaving the area where we live, this apparently happens after the evening
prayers. But they are still everywhere. The streets are empty, only bakeries
are open and some grocery shops - charging 4 times the normal prices. While
I was buying bread a police car stopped in front of the bakery and asked
the baker if they had enough flour and asked when they opened; the baker
told me that they have been informed that they must open their shops and
they get flour delivered to them daily. Groceries, meat and dairy products
are a different story. One dairy product company seems to be still operating
, not state-owned, and their cars were going around the city distributing
butter, cheese and yoghurt to any open markets. Meat is not safe to buy
because you wouldn't know from where and how it got to the shops. Anyway,
we bought fresh tomatoes and zucchini for 1,000 dinars a kilo which would
normally be 250.
And most amazingly the garbage car came around.
The Iraqi satellite channel is not broadcasting anymore. The second
youth TV channel (it shows Egyptian soaps in the morning and sports
afterwards) also stopped transmitting. This leaves two channels: Iraq TV
and Shabab (youth) TV. They are still full of patriotic songs and useless
"news". We also saw the latest Sahaf show on Al-Jazeera and Iraq TV, and
the most distressing minister of interior affairs with his guns. Freaks.
Hurling abuse at the world is the only thing left for them to do.
On BBC we are watching scenes of Iraqis surrendering. My youngest
cousin was muttering "what shame" to himself. Yes, it is better for them
to do that but still seeing them carrying that white flag makes something
deep inside you cringe.
We sit in front of the TV with the map of Iraq on our laps trying to
figure out what is going on in the south.
Please stop sending emails asking if I were for real. Don't believe
it? Then don't read it.
I am not anybody's propaganda ploy - well, except my own.
6.05pm
2 more hours until the B52s get to Iraq.
