São Tomé and Príncipe is an island country in west-central Africa, consisting of the islands of São Tomé and Príncipe and the surrounding islets, with the capital, São Tomé, located in the northeastern part of São Tomé. Located on the Gulf of Guinea, about 200 kilometers from the African continent, the country was colonized by Portugal in the 15th century and became independent in 1975, with Portuguese as the official language and an economy based on agriculture (cocoa, palm oil) and tourism. It should be noted that "Java" is not a city or region of the country; Java is the main island of Indonesia, with cities such as Jakarta and Surabaya, and has nothing to do with São Tomé and Príncipe, possibly due to a confusion of names.
Sadr City is a large residential area in the eastern part of Baghdad, the capital of Iraq. Originally known as "Revolutionary City", it was renamed after 2003 in honor of the Shiite religious leader Muqtada al-Sadr. It is one of the most densely populated areas in Baghdad, mainly populated by Shia Muslims, and was first built in the 1970s as a government-planned housing project, but has since developed into a residential, commercial, and religious community due to the post-war situation. After many conflicts, the area has been gradually restored with schools, hospitals and markets, making it an important livelihood area in Baghdad and an important center of Shiite political and social activity in Iraq.
