| Subject: Statist Insanity Continues: At Least 42 Dead After Days Of Violent Protests In Iraq Fri Oct 04, 2019 6:56 pm | |
| Iraqi security forces fired live rounds to disperse crowds of protesters in Baghdad on Friday, as the death toll from days of anti-government unrest has reached at least 42, according to officials. The mostly spontaneous student protests erupted on Tuesday, with demonstrations centered on Baghdad's Tahrir Square and across the country's mainly Shiite south. The protesters are expressing anger over widespread unemployment and corruption, as well as electricity outages and water shortages that result from years of conflict that have left much of the country's infrastructure in shambles.
