[size=45]Fears of a demographic change[/size]
[size=45]On the other hand, the project has received its share of criticism, especially at the political level, as politicians indicate that the project aims to bring about a demographic change in the areas of the Baghdad belt.[/size]
[size=45]The leader of the Sovereignty Alliance, Khamis al-Khanjar, said earlier that the new city project includes dimensions that seek to bring about a demographic change west of the capital, as "the areas located west of Baghdad are mostly Sunni areas and also extend towards Anbar Governorate."[/size]

[size=45]It is still unknown whether the new government, headed by Muhammad Shiaa Al-Sudani, will continue to work on the project or if it will stop it due to political pressures, especially since it has not yet commented on the project.[/size]
