Introduction to Baiji, Iraq

Baiji is a major industrial city in Salahuddin Province, Iraq, located about 250 kilometers north of the capital city of Baghdad and situated on the banks of the Tigris River. The city is known for the largest oil refinery in Iraq, the Baiji Refinery, a facility that is the country's energy lifeblood, with a capacity of 300,000 barrels of crude oil per day, and is vital to domestic fuel supply and exports.

With a population of about 200,000 and a predominantly Sunni Arab population, Bayji was historically an important stronghold of Saddam's regime. After the 2003 Iraq war, the city became a hotspot for anti-American armed activities; between 2014 and 2015, the extremist group "Islamic State" captured Baiji, resulting in serious damage to the refinery, which was recaptured by government forces after fierce fighting.

In recent years, Bayyidj has entered a reconstruction phase, with the refinery gradually resuming operations, but the security situation remains unstable. The city's economy is highly dependent on the oil industry, supplemented by agriculture and trade, and its strategic location makes it a transportation hub linking northern and central Iraq.
