but there has been an update on Raed's blog that pretty much says this was going to happen.

<snip>
The Ukrainian Army withdrew today from Al-Kut city, because of the huge pressure of the street fighting…

I think similar events will happen in Amara soon with the British Army… although the British Army handed over authorities to Iraqis 10 months ago… but still they have some patrols going across the city.

And maybe the uprising people will try to put more pressure on the Italians at Nasryya… but I doubt if they can make the Carabinieri leave the city…

But the thing I expect much is to see more attacks in the extremely-quiet Simawa and Diwanyya… where the Spanish and Japanese soldiers are located.

This new war is not going to stop in days... but the question is when and how...
