Demonstrations erupted in the Iraqi capital of Baghdad and in several provinces across Iraq. According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/us-iraq-protests-idUSKBN1WN0ZR\">Reuters,<\/a> the protests quickly turned violent, as Iraqi\u2019s who felt disenfranchised by their corrupt and ineffectual government took to the streets to display their frustration with the current state of the nation.<\/p>\n<p>The anti-government protests began as a response to the long power outages, lack of basic municipal services like electricity and water, and the rampant government corruption, which the protesters believe is to blame. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2019\/10\/03\/middleeast\/iraq-economic-protests-intl\/index.html\">CNN<\/a> reports that these poor conditions, coupled with Iraq\u2019s high unemployment level of around <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2019\/10\/03\/middleeast\/iraq-economic-protests-intl\/index.html\">10<\/a> percent, prompted hundreds of Iraqi people to protest.<\/p>\n<p>The response to the protest and rioting that followed is violent, with demonstrators claiming they have come under attack from security forces using live ammunition. This assertion is supported by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/us-iraq-protests-idUSKBN1WN0ZR\">Reuters<\/a> journalists, who claimed they witnessed demonstrators who were killed and wounded by snipers from surrounding rooftops. In the first eight days of the protests, there were 110 reported deaths and over 6000 people reported injured as a direct result of the demonstration.<\/p>\n<p>Heavy security restrictions were imposed quickly to quell the protests. City-wide curfews were imposed, and a nation-wide internet blackout was enacted, shutting down about 75 percent of the nation\u2019s internet access. While <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2019\/10\/03\/middleeast\/iraq-economic-protests-intl\/index.html\">CNN<\/a> reports that access has since been mostly restored, according to reports by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aljazeera.com\/news\/2019\/10\/iraq-protests-latest-updates-191004085506824.html\">Aljazeera<\/a>, Iraqi social networks remain offline. The protesters began by marching on the capital and storming governors\u2019 offices in Najaf and Nasiriya. Parts of the latter location\u2019s buildings were set on fire during the protests, prompting Prime Minister Adel Abdul-Mahdi to hold an emergency meeting with members of his security council to find a way to combat the chaos.<\/p>\n<p>The government response to the protests has been varied throughout the demonstration\u2019s progression. According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2019\/10\/02\/world\/middleeast\/iraq-corruption-protests.html\">New York Times,<\/a> protests are not new to the country, though they usually occur during summer, when power outages cause the most suffering for citizens trying to combat Iraq\u2019s extreme heat conditions. This is also the largest and most volatile display of public anger towards Prime Minster Abdul-Mahdi\u2019s government since it took office a little over a year ago.<\/p>\n<p>According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2019\/10\/02\/world\/middleeast\/iraq-corruption-protests.html\">New York T<\/a><u>imes<\/u>, the Prime Minister blamed \u201caggressive attackers\u201d for turning the protests into a violent standoff with security forces, but after the building burnings at Najaf and Nasiriyah, he quickly responded with attempts to call a security council meeting to contain the protesters and attempt to meet their demands. On October 8, he introduced a \u201c13 Point\u201d reform plan that, according to<a href=\"https:\/\/www.aljazeera.com\/news\/2019\/10\/iraq-protests-latest-updates-191004085506824.html\"> Aljazeera<\/a>, is centered on providing subsidies and housing for the poor, as well as vocational training and education initiatives for unemployed youth. Prior to this, the Iraqi military admitted to using \u201cexcessive force\u201d against protesters, and calls for investigation into acts committed during the demonstrations are still ongoing.<\/p>\n<p>Only time will tell if said investigations will occur, and if they, along with the Prime Minster\u2019s proposed reforms, will quiet the discontent felt by so many Iraqi\u2019s.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Demonstrations erupted in the Iraqi capital of Baghdad and in several provinces across Iraq.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3546,"featured_media":8268,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"colormag_page_container_layout":"default_layout","colormag_page_sidebar_layout":"default_layout","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1846,5,1852,1576],"tags":[454,512,894,918],"class_list":["post-8472","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-october-2019","category-focus","category-escalation-peaceful-protest-to-violent-rebellion","category-1576","tag-iraq","tag-protests","tag-focus","tag-middle-east"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
