Iraq celebrates the U.S. withdrawal with a four-day holiday known as Sovereignty Days

 The streets of Baghdad were filled with celebrations following the completion of the withdrawal of U.S. and coalition forces from Iraq.

The Iraqi government has declared the days from September 30 to October 3 official holidays.

More than two decades after the 2003 U.S. invasion and 12 years after the return of U.S. troops in 2014, the last U.S. military personnel deployed in Iraq have left the country.
