Despite a government crackdown that has killed at least 260 people since October 1, protesters burned tires and blocked the entrance to the port of Umm Qasr in southern Iraq, just hours after operations had resumed
BAGHDAD - Iraqi security forces shot dead at least six anti-government protesters in Baghdad on Thursday and killed four others as they broke up a sit-in in the southern city of Basra, police and medical sources said.
Elsewhere in southern Iraq, dozens of protesters burned tires and blocked the entrance to the port of Umm Qasr, preventing lorries from transporting food imports, just hours after operations had resumed, port officials said. Protesters, mostly unemployed youths, blame a political elite that has ruled Iraq since the toppling of Saddam Hussein in 2003, and demand a complete overhaul of the political system.Members of riot police gesture as they clash by demonstrators during the ongoing anti-government protests in Baghdad, Iraq November 7, 2019.

Combined losses by the private banks and mobile phone companies, money transfer services, tourism and airline booking offices had averaged more than $40 million per day, the source said - almost $1.5 billion for Iraq in just over a month. But the halting of fuel tankers that transport fuel from the Nassiriya refinery to regional gas stations caused fuel shortages across the southern Iraqi province of Dhi Qar. The refinery had recently been producing around half its capacity, oil officials said.The internet returned briefly in most parts of Iraq on Thursday but went out again after 1:00 p.m. local time .
