Sunnis and Shia joined in Baghdad for historic peace march!

It was an Iraqi initiative to ease sectarian tensions, solely driven by Iraqi Neighborhood Council (NAC) and District Advisory Council (DAC) leaders and Sheiks from both religious sects in the area –MNF-I.

Sondrak notes that this peace protest is really about peace.
