ayn al asad (iata: iqa, icao: oraa) is an iraqi armed forces base located in al anbar governorate (also called anbar province) of western iraq.it was originally known as qadisiyah airbase.it was the second largest us military airbase in iraq during operation iraqi freedom.until january 2010, it was the home of the ii marine expeditionary force/multi-national force west.other major tenants have included the 3rd id's 4th ibct, 82nd airborne division advise & assist brigade, 332nd medical brigade, 321st sustainment brigade, vertical onboard delivery detachment-1 (vod-1), vaq-141, navy customs battalion juliet, elements of the iraqi army's 7th division, and the united states air force (usaf).on december 26, 2018, president donald trump and his wife melania visited the soldiers stationed at the base.on november 23, 2019, vice president mike pence and his wife karen, visited the troops ahead of thanksgiving.on january 8, 2020, the air base came under an iranian ballistic missile attack in retaliation for the killing of quds leader qasem soleimani in a u.s. drone strike a few days earlier.the airbase is divided by wādī al asadī (وادي الاسدي), a wadi whose course passes through the oasis along the base's western edge and then continues eastward, emptying into the euphrates river at khan al baghdadi.this oasis is locally referred to as 'abraham's well'.the ‘ayn al asad spring surfaces within the base and flows into the wādī al asadī.geologically, the base resides in the al-ḥammād sector of the syrian desert, composed mostly of a rock and gravel steppe.qadisiyah ab was one of five new air bases built in iraq as part of their project 'super-base', launched in 1975 as a response to the lessons learned during the arab-israeli wars of 1967 and 1973.the base was built sometime between 1981 and 1987 by a consortium of yugoslavian companies under contract to the government of iraq.two yugoslav government agencies led the project.the fdsp (federal directorate of supply and procurement) acted as the project manager and aeroengineering acted as the project engineer.known as 'project 202-b' and 'project 1100', the companies involved in its construction included granit, vranica d.d.sarajevo, i.l.lavčević d.d.split, and unioninvest d.d.sarajevo.the us$280,000,000 project at qadisiyah ab included accommodation for 5,000 personnel and the necessary infrastructure including public facilities (mosques, outdoor and indoor olympic swimming pool, football field, sports hall, cinema, library, elementary school, high school, hospital and clinic) and fortified military facilities (military airport, shelters for personnel and equipment, shelters for bombers and fighters and military barracks).the hardened aircraft shelters built here and throughout iraq by the yugoslavs were nicknamed 'yugos'.at the time they were considered state of the art but were rendered obsolete in 1991 after the development of the gbu-28 laser-guided bunker-buster bomb.prior to the 2003 us-led invasion of iraq, the base housed three units of the iraqi air force, which flew mig-25s and mig-21s.it was abandoned shortly after the start of the invasion.it was initially known as objective webster, and then eventually was renamed al asad airbase, which means 'the lion' in arabic.the 3rd acr was relieved by the marines of the 1st marine expeditionary force in march 2004.al asad became the largest u.s. base in western iraq and the western equivalent of baghdad's green zone.al asad was a major convoy hub, hosting hundreds of fuel and supply trucks every day.huge shipments of fuel were commonly run along the dangerous routes coming out of jordan and, despite insurgent attempts, a majority of these convoys arrived at their destinations untouched.a single convoy operation would sometimes last a couple days with trucks on the road for over 8 hours a day. | al asad airbase | location | al anbar province iraq <tsp> al asad airbase | runwaylength | 307848 | ayn al asad (iata: iqa, icao: oraa) is an iraqi armed forces base located in al anbar governorate (also called anbar province) of western iraq.it was the second largest us military airbase in iraq during operation iraqi freedom.al asad became the largest u.s. base in western iraq and the western equivalent of baghdad's green zone. |

addis ababa (; amharic: አዲስ አበባ, lit.'new flower' [adˈdis ˈabəba] (listen) ,oromo: finfinnee, lit.'fountain of hot mineral water') is the capital and largest city of ethiopia and oromia.in the 2007 census, the city's population was estimated to be 2,739,551 inhabitants.addis ababa is a highly developed and important cultural, artistic, financial and administrative centre of ethiopia.the founding history of addis ababa dates back in late 19th-century by menelik ii, negus of shewa, in 1886 after finding mount entoto unpleasant two years prior.at the time, the city was a resort town; its large mineral spring abundance attracted nobilities of the empire and led them to establish permanent settlement.it also attracted many members of the working classes — including artisans and merchants — and foreign visitors.menelik ii then formed his imperial palace in 1887.addis ababa became the empire's capital in 1889, and subsequently international embassies were opened.addis ababa urban development began at the beginning of the 20th century, and without any preplanning.addis ababa saw a wide-scale economic boom in 1926 and 1927, and an increase in the number of buildings owned by the middle class, including stone houses filled with imported european furniture.the middle class also imported newly manufactured automobiles and expanded banking institutions.during the italian occupation, urbanization and modernization steadily increased through a masterplan; it was hoped addis ababa would be a more 'colonial' city and continued on after the occupation.subsequent master plans were designed by french and british consultants from the 1940s onwards, focusing on monuments, civic structures, satellite cities and the inner-city.similarly, the later italo-ethiopian masterplan (also projected in 1986) concerned only urban structure and accommodation services, but was later adapted by the 2003 masterplan.addis ababa is a federally-chartered city in accordance with the addis ababa city government charter proclamation no.87/1997 in the fdre constitution.called 'the political capital of africa' due to its historical, diplomatic, and political significance for the continent, addis ababa serves as the headquarters of major international organizations, such as the african union and the united nations economic commission for africa.the city lies a few kilometres west of the east african rift, which splits ethiopia into two, between the nubian plate and the somali plate.the city is surrounded by the special zone of oromia, and is populated by people from different regions of ethiopia.it is home to addis ababa university.the city has a high human development index, and is known for its vibrant culture, strong fashion scene, high civic and political involvement of younger people, a thriving arts scene, and for having the fastest economic growth of any country in the world.the research indicated that genetic diversity decreases steadily the further one's ancestors travelled from addis ababa.this permanent fortified city was established during the early-to-mid 15th century, and it served as the main residence of several successive emperors up to the early 16th-century reign of libne dengel.the city was depicted standing between mount zuqualla and menegasha on a map drawn by the italian cartographer fra mauro in around 1450, and it was razed and plundered by ahmed gragn while the imperial army was trapped on the south of the awash river in 1529, an event witnessed and documented two years later by the yemeni writer arab-faqih.the suggestion that barara was located on mount entoto is supported by the very recent discovery of a large medieval town overlooking addis ababa located between rock-hewn washa mikael and the more modern church of entoto maryam, founded in the late 19th century.dubbed the pentagon, the 30-hectare site incorporates a castle with 12 towers, along with 520 meters of stone walls measuring up to 5-meter high. | excavated | periactus | albedograph | no related information |
