Thousands of defiant Iraqi protesters gather once again the morning after at least 46 protesters were killed in one of the bloodiest days of anti-government rallies
Iraqi protesters clash with security forces during ongoing anti-government demonstrations against corruption. November 28, 2019.
Iraq’s top Sia cleric on Friday warned of civil war, calling on lawmakers to “reconsider” their support for the current government. Iraqis carry the coffins of anti-government demonstrators killed during protests a day earlier during a funeral procession in the central holy shrine city of Najaf on November 29, 2019. The bulk of the dead, 29, fell in the southern protest hotspot of Nasiriyah, and thousands hit the streets to mourn them on Friday.
The new unrest in Iraq's south was unleashed after protesters stormed the Iranian consulate in Najaf late on Wednesday, accusing the neighbouring country of propping up Iraq's government. Police officers said they had received orders on Thursday to "finish off" the rallies but the disastrous developments in Nasiriyah put a halt to those plans.The violence was condemned worldwide, with Amnesty International denouncing a "bloodbath" in Nasiriyah.
