Sisters in Baghdad face curtailed freedoms after Saddam
In central Baghdad, Sami sisters aged 17 15 and 11 describe a restricted life under heightened violence. They fear explosions and prefer private taxis due to danger, with schools canceling after school sports and activities. They recall happier times under Saddam and now cling to limited childhood routines near their guarded home.
