It is interesting that the protestors can storm into the Green Zone and to Parliament steps, and not one policeman, security, or military is to be seen.  Let the good times roll !

 

Thanks, Yota.  Does anyone know definitively if Abadi can fire the questionable ministers and replace them by proxy at this point?

Good news Yota and thanks for sharing your Saturday to keep us posted on events. It was only a matter of time before the people got tired and Sadr unleashed them. The thieves from parliament holding up progress should all get a good shoe beat-down. Just curious if lack of attendance by those holding things up will count towards their absentee count and they can eventually be fired?? The real losers, the people of Iraq. Ruled by greedy politicians who deny the common folk food, jobs, electricity and a respectable life.

Followers of Iraq’s Shi’ite cleric Moqtada al-Sadr are seen in the parliament building as they storm Baghdad’s Green Zone after lawmakers failed to convene for a vote on overhauling the government, in Iraq April 30, 2016.

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Hundreds of supporters of Shi’ite Muslim cleric Moqtada al-Sadr stormed Baghdad’s Green Zone on Saturday and entered the parliament building after lawmakers failed to convene for a vote on overhauling the government, two Reuters witnesses said.

The protesters, who had gathered outside the heavily fortified district housing government buildings and many foreign embassies, crossed a bridge over the Tigris River chanting, “The cowards ran away!” in apparent reference to lawmakers leaving parliament, one of the witnesses said.

A guard at a checkpoint said the protesters had not been searched before entering. About ten members of the armed group loyal to Sadr were checking protesters cursorily as government security forces who usually conduct careful searches with bomb-sniffing dogs stood by the side, the witness said.

The protesters wove Iraqi flags and chanted “Peaceful, peaceful!”. Some were standing on top of concrete blast walls that form the outer barrier to the Green Zone. Thousands more remained at the gates of the district.

Supporters of Sadr, whose fighters once controlled swathes of Baghdad and helped defend the capital from Islamic State, have been demonstrating for weeks at the gates of the Green Zone, responding to their leader’s call to pressure the government to reform.

Abadi wants to replace some ministers - chosen to balance Iraq’s divisions along party, ethnic and sectarian lines - with technocrats in order to combat corruption; but political parties have resisted the changes. Abadi has warned that any delay to the vote could hamper the war against Islamic State, which controls vast swathes of northern and western Iraq.

Rudaw TV showed protesters chanting and taking selfies inside the parliament chamber where moments earlier lawmakers had been meeting.
