They’re tired of the bombings. They’re tired of the killing. They’re tired of not counting. They call themselves Sahwa, an Arabic term that translates to Awakening. Their awakening comes in the form of a neighborhood watch.
The neighborhood watch programs were established Nov. 14, two weeks after local citizens approached Soldiers of the 10th Mountain Division’s 1st Brigade Combat Team, 1st Battalion, 87th Infantry Regiment, with the idea. More than 1,000 citizens showed up, ready to be recruited to take up arms in defense against the terrorists in the region.
They’re taking back their streets. They’re taking ownership of their own destiny. They are the Multaka Night Watch. Sgt Hook out.
