Several thousand people demonstrated Friday in Iraq against the lack of public services, corruption, unemployment or poor leadership. The most important event that brought together two thousand people in the center of the capital, ended peacefully at about 15 hours. No spillover of violence were reported during the dozen other rallies that took place in the country.
Important safety devices were introduced to frame or even prevent the protests, authorities have imposed in several provinces and the capital of the drastic restrictions on the movement of vehicles: January 25, sixteen people were killed in the margins of the twenty events that took place during the "Day of Wrath, the most violent month of mobilization.
Most of the protesters had come on foot. Three searches were planned prior to the body to access Tahrir Square in central Baghdad, witnesses said that many protesters had not been able to reach the rally. "Oil for the people, not thieves!" Shouted some protesters. "What happened to the people's money?", Could read one placard.
"We are demonstrating because we love our country and we want him to get better," said a young doctor. "What has gone wrong in Iraq? Everything." "We are fighting for true democracy," said his side, a writer for 39 years. "Every day our freedoms are whittled away by the religious parties.
Corruption is also a critical issue. We live in a country rich in oil, but we do not have electricity or clean water, no infrastructure" , he denounced. Demonstrations were also held in several Shiite towns south as Nasiriyah, Najaf, Hilla and Fao. A thousand people were also gathered in the center of the port city of Basra, where police used water cannons to disperse the crowd.
A cameraman working for the Iranian channel Al-Alam was injured in Basra in circumstances that remain unclear, presumably in clashes with police. Driving bans had been enacted in all five provinces north of Baghdad outside the autonomous region of Kurdistan, which has complicated the conduct of demonstrations.
However, 1500 people demonstrated in Mosul, in Nineveh province. But elsewhere, the security forces are most often thwarted plans for protesters or prohibited gatherings. In Samarra, the police even prevented the faithful to attend Friday prayers in the mosque. After a strong modbilisation last Saturday, the spiritual leader of the Shia community, Grand Ayatollah Ali Sistani, emerged from his reserve by requiring the removal of benefits that were granted politicians.
On Sunday, Mr Maliki gave his ministers one hundred days to prove themselves in the fight against corruption and improving public services.
