The people of Basra do not accept occupation of their city by British forces, the al-Arabiya television channel said on Tuesday. The reporter of the TV channel, who arrived in the city this morning, said Basra is gradually to begin its ordinary life. The city's stores have already started activities, he added. Although the people are interested in change of regime, due to suppressive policies of the Baathist regime, they do not accept this kind of occupation, the reporter added. The British forces are fortifying their positions throughout the city, he said adding that they try to tell the local people that they are not occupyers or invaders and that they are only in Iraq to provide the Iraqi nation with freedom.
