Rashid District Council Chairman Yaqoub Yosif cuts the ribbon commemorating the opening of the al-Jamaheer Radio Station, Feb. 18, at the Rashid DC Hall Building in southern Baghdad. Col. Ted Martin, commander of the 1st Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division, Multi-National Division – Baghdad, and members of the 1st BCT's Embedded Provincial Reconstruction Team attended the event which they helped make possible by providing funding and logistical support. The radio station, al-Jamaheer, which means "the Public" in Arabic, offers a variety of programming from education, entertainment and culture to a public talk show forum for the citizens of Rashid to call their local leaders and voice questions and concerns.
