Dozens of demonstrators were killed across Iraq as violent anti-government protests swelled into a mass spontaneous uprising sweeping much of the country, the worst unrest since the defeat of Islamic State. More here:
The violence is an unprecedented test for Adel Abdul Mahdi, a mild-mannered veteran politician who came to power last year as a compromise candidate backed by powerful Shi’ite groups that have dominated Iraq since the downfall of Saddam Hussein in 2003.
“Today this was a peaceful protest. They set up these barricades, and the sniper is sitting right there since last night.” Late on Thursday protesters in Baghdad gathered in darkness by a bonfire set among the flaming wreckage of an armored vehicle, across the Tigris River from the government compound.
Some pilgrims were already taking to the roads on Friday, although in smaller numbers than in recent years. Iran has closed one of the border crossings used by millions of pilgrims. Qatar has told its citizens to stay away.
