Nearly 100 killed, 4,000 wounded in Iraq as anti-government protests reach fifth day

At least 94 people have been killed and nearly 4,000 wounded as tens of thousands of protesters have taken to the streets in Baghdad and southern Iraq over the past five days, according to the Iraqi High Commission for Human Rights.

Security forces fired live ammunition and tear gas at demonstrators in Baghdad on Saturday, killing at least eight people and wounding 17, health and security officials said.

 

The protesters are taking a stand against a lack of jobs, corruption and poor public services. Living conditions were impacted by the war against the Islamic State, which took control of large parts of the country in 2014.

AT LEAST 31 DEAD IN IRAQ AS ANTI-GOVERNMENT PROTESTS GRIP COUNTRY

Iraq has the fourth-largest oil reserve in the world, but 22.5 percent of the population people makes less than $1.90 a day, according to the BBC.

SULAIMANI — Amid an outbreak of protests in central and southern Iraq, Kurdistan Region President Nechirvan Barzani said on Friday (October 4) that there are many problems in the country and that it takes time to solve them.

“We are not pleased about the violence and incidents in the protests In Baghdad and some of the other governorates,” Barzani said.

“Peaceful protesting is a constitutional right, but it cannot shift into violence and chaos that endangers national security or tries to abolish the institutes of the government,” he added

“The problems in Iraq were not formed in a day. They are the accumulation of bad choices and mistakes by the government in the past and no government can solve them in a day.”

Barzani emphasized the importance of not getting distracted from the task of rebuilding the country following the devastating war against Islamic State.

“Iraq is going through a delicate phase now and it needs tranquility and peace,” he said. “With events going out of control the situation will become worse and all the nations and factions in Iraq will be disturbed and damaged.”

Protests have rocked central and southern Iraq since Tuesday, leaving dozens dead and hundreds wounded.

They have not spread to the Kurdistan Region so far, but many of the same systemic conditions that motivated the protests are also present in the Region, such as endemic corruption, high youth unemployment, and poor public services.

what Barzani is omitting is these bad goi actors of the past are still involved with the goi today just in different  positions or still running there Bad agendas thru different puppets they made sure were elected , my gosh man the people are fed up with the corruption iraq has to make changes now and stop the cronyism and its brother nepotism ... thanks 6ly410

 

Cronyism is the practice of partiality in awarding jobs and other advantages to friends or trusted colleagues, especially in politics and between politicians and supportive organizations. For instance, this includes appointing "cronies" to positions of authority, regardless of their qualifications.

For Iraqis info, Japan and West Germany has done a lot around 16 years after their defeat in WW2 including rebuilding the countries and war reparations. They also has many things to bear on but become pillar of world economic nowdays. We are not speaks out of illusion but by the facts. If all corruptors return back the Iraqis money, all the rebuilding Iraq can be done less then 2 years with usd 450 billion when it return back. For example, Iraq can build solar power tech for electricity since they located at desert. Dam for water supply. New and latest public transportation including speed magnetic train for their citizen and their products. All the basic needs can be done by latest tech with affordable price if join venture with other developing countries. All of these will improve Iraq economic almost instantly and their growth will be exponential. With that, from usd 450 billion will be easily surpass usd trillions if they also do secondary industries base on their resources instead of exporting their raw material. They are many countries willingly to JV if they reduce their corruption to very minimum levels. Only idiots are just ****** usd 450 billion for their own purpose.

A great place for Mahdi to start would be to end the auctions. Instead of protestors raiding Parliament, they should be going for the actually auctions. That and get those snipers guns aimed at Maliki’s head. If he is so powerful that he is unaccountable, as a protestor, I‘d be looking to settle that score first. He is like a giant Albatross tied around the people of Iraq’s neck. He continues to bring the country down, and will until he is either dead or tried for his crimes. Thousands of dead Iraqis would agree I’m sure!!!

Iraqi Prime Minister pledges a package of reforms to calm the anger of the demonstrators

8f10b405f56ef8c89f8e52670bd053bad3807fb2.jpgAhmed al-Rubaie,an Iraqi protester waving his country's flag in downtown Baghdad on October 05, 2019

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - The Iraqi government issued a series of "important" decisions overnight at an extraordinary session chaired by Adel Abdul-Mahdi in response to demands from participants in five days of bloody protests that killed nearly 100 people and wounded thousands, according to official statistics.

An unprecedented protest movement erupted in Baghdad and several southern provinces, condemning government performance and demanding the prosecution of corrupt people, fighting unemployment and providing public services.

The new decisions included 17 paragraphs, most notably facilitating access to residential land and building new units, in addition to granting 175 thousand dinars (about $ 145) per month to the unemployed for three months.

The decisions also included the establishment of modern marketing complexes in commercial areas in Baghdad and the provinces.

Before the protests began, the Iraqi authorities launched campaigns to remove the indiscriminate housing overruns of three million poor people amid harsh and unsanitary conditions without providing an alternative.

A young man died in the city of Kut, south of Baghdad, after he set fire to his body after the confiscation of his vehicle, and this was one of the sparks that led to the outbreak of demonstrations in the country.

The cabinet decided to consider the victims of the demonstrations as "martyrs" and give their families "privileges of martyrs." He also opened the door to volunteer for the army and return those whose contracts were terminated after the Islamic State's invasion in 2014.

He directed the Council of Ministers to implement the measures and decided to discuss the second package on reforms at the next session.

The demonstrations that began last Tuesday witnessed violence, gunfire and burning of a number of political party headquarters, which the demonstrators accuse of being behind the acts of corruption in the country. In return, Iraqi authorities accused "unidentified snipers" of shooting at security forces and civilians.
