The video showed a number of Iraqis driving a car on a public street in Iraq and raising the flags of Iraq and the Kingdom, as an expression of their celebration of the Kingdom’s 92nd National Day.
The video showed a security man stopping the car, pulling the kingdom’s flag, and instructing the driver to leave.
The clip sparked widespread criticism, and tweets expressed their anger at the security man’s withdrawal of the kingdom’s flag, while Iranian flags are on their streets.
Tweeters indicated that the security man may be pro-Iran, but the people of Anbar expressed their affection and love for Saudi Arabia.
While a tweeter said, the people of Anbar wish to see Saudi investments fill the province’s districts and sub-districts, not just flags. The province has a large area and its soil is arable, and we have many natural resources from phosphate, glass, natural gas, and even raw uranium, so welcome our brothers and cousins in their second country, Iraq and Anbar.
