Hundreds of protesters opposing Iraq’s ruling political class marched on Tahrir Square in central Baghdad to express their distrust of the government of Prime Minister Mustafa al-Qazemi.
This is the first demonstration against the government of Kazemi. It began a few hours after the composition of the cabinet was approved by parliament.
Demonstrators waved Iraqi flags and chanted: “This is a government of quotas, parties and militias,” as well as “People want to overthrow the regime.”
