Thousands of protesters gathered in Baghdad’s Tahrir Square on Friday in Iraq’s “day of rage” to rally against corruption in local governments.
While the upheaval may have been inspired by the uprisings in Tunisia and Egypt, many Iraqi protesters aren’t calling for the complete removal of the Iraqi government. Instead, they are rallying against corruption and high unemployment, demanding improved human rights as well as an end to food, job and power shortages. The lack of clean drinking water also has prompted some unrest.
