Iraqi parliament suspends sessions until further notice amid protests by supporters of Shia cleric Muqtada al Sadr against formation of next government
One by one, demonstrators used ropes to pull down cement barricades leading to the gate of the "Green Zone", which houses official buildings and foreign embassies. Security forces used tear gas and sound bombs to try to repel the demonstrators.
The protests against the formation of the next government by Iran-backed parties are the latest challenge for oil-rich Iraq, which remains mired in a political and a socioeconomic crisis despite elevated global crude prices.Sadr, a former militia leader, had initially supported the idea of a "majority government". That would have sent his Shia adversaries from the pro-Iran Coordination Framework into opposition.
