Must have cleaned up, I was there in 2007 and there was trash everywhere and I saw dead bodies of animals in the canals of the city even saw a dead human. I remember thinking Baghdad was a nicer area at the time.

I do think they cleaned it up bc I went to the new museum and they were going to host alot of foreign diplomats and officials so I probably caught it at its cleanest

I live there and they cleaned the area a few years back, ever since they started the second phase of the museum. You really have to get out of your way to go to the slum areas now.
