“why is it still called the green zone? who revokes the zoning color?”

Only the MSM and their dupes call it the Green zone. It’s official name is the International Zone aka IZ. It’s been called that since 2003 because it’s where all the embassies are.

The MSM calls it the green zone to draw direct parallel to the Lebanese civil war which had a “green zone” that was controlled by the government and Christians. It eventually fell to the Islamists thus the MSM’s desire to use the term for Baghdad’s IZ.
