The southern cities are emptied of their inhabitants while the holy city of Karbala is filled by them (photo-report)..

With the approach of the ritual of the Zyarat Arba'een on the twentieth day of Safar, the streets of the southern cities of Iraq seemed completely empty of people, everyone has headed towards the holy city of Karbala, either on foot or by taking means of transport, while Karbala was packed with the huge numbers of the visitors, which numbers are expected to register a new record this year.

This Hussayni creep has disappointed the thoughts of all the enemies of Ahl Al-Bayt (peace be upon them), who had expected the decline in the number of the visitors because of the current critical security situation in Iraq. But, in reality the followers and adepts of Ahl Al-Bayt (peace be upon them) have left everything and came towards Al-Hussayn (peace be upon him) to declare their loyalty and renew the pledge of allegiance, and to prove that the supporters of Al-Hussayn (peace be upon him) are steadfast regardless of the killing and bombing of the descendants of Yazeed (May God curse him), and to be once again a confirmation of the word of Lady Zaynab (peace be upon her) : "By Allah, you will never erase our remembrance."

The cameras of the photographers of the Al-Kafeel Global Network have spotted many scenes from the southern cities on the morning of the 17th of Safar, corresponding to the 10th of December, 2014, and took other pictures from the holy city of Karbala, showing that the southern cities looked like ghost cities while Karbala is packed with visitors.
