TIKRIT: From Baghdad to Tikrit ! A few hours in Tikrit ( didn’t expect this ) 🇮🇶

#Tikrit #IraqVlog #SpeicherMassacre This is a little backwards as the 2 mosul ones were last minute, one was just an update and one was the sandstorm. i hadn't got round to editing this one yet ( i have more on Mosul im working on ) I had planned o make a quick stop in Tikrit on my way, i had met a couchsurfer that was going to show me around, i also had a friend from Baghdad call some people in Tikrit to allow me to film. We went to ask at the Hashd Checkpoint if we could get closer to the Palaces, they were expecting me which was weird. i had to wait for the Hashd "boss" to come , and along with him and his 2 armed guards ,they took me to the site of the Speicher Massacre! I was a bit shocked as i had no idea as to what actually happened here....im not sure many people in the "west" know about this either. They were with me all the time so i had to be careful what i filmed and what i didn't, he would explain everything in Arabic to my friend , who then translated in english, then i had to talk, with all of them watching me ..not my usual vlogging experience! A place thats not an easy place to visit as the security to get in was crazy..I have seen the actual ISIS video of what happened here and its horrific. They also killed hundreds in mass graves. these were just young unarmed army cadets. The second deadliest terrorist attack next to 9/11 yet not so many people know about this one. if i look a bit speechless at times, its because i was, from what i was being told, and the whole situation i was in...i wish i had known more about this place before i went, so i was a bit more knowledgable about things ..but i didnt know i was going here! this vlog is AD Free...so i make no money from this .....i hope others in other countries will see what happened here. Huge thanks to Abdu , my Couchsurfing contact in Tikrit for taking me around and making sure I got a taxi to Mosul ! Everyone is so helpful to tourists in Iraq ! INSTAGRAM*****  / emmawitters_
