Local Customs: Anti-American Graffiti

The walls of the former US Embassy was covered with anti-American graffiti. Photographs were theoretically not allowed, but I did manage to sneak a couple of photos. The building is now used for a high-security office, hence the no-photo rule. There were cameras pointing to the pavement in various places, so you had to position yourself carefully to avoid detection. Some of the slogans were quite amusing: “United States of America is the most hated state before our Nation.” “A portrayal of great Satan from state stroke of 19th August to November 1998”. “Down with USA” “We will make America face a severe defeat.”
