Photographer Ahmed Jadallah spoke with protesters to hear in their own words why they are protesting.
Protesters have taken to the streets in the tens of thousands over what they say is widespread corruption, lack of job opportunities and poor basic services despite the country’s oil wealth.
"I want a nation, I want my rights. I don't have anything: not even a salary. Didn't they say they were going to give us salaries after the previous wave of protests? Well, nothing happened, they're all liars. We are not leaving - from Nasiriya to Amara to Tahrir - we are not leaving until there is a change in government. We want a change in government. No Adel Abdul Mahdi, no al-Halboosi," Yasir 'Idan said.
"We want our rights. We want the government to fall. I want rights for my brother who was killed here, on the bridge. I want rights for my friend who was killed here on the bridge. They're killing us and we're only here protesting peacefully, and they're shooting us with live ammunition," Mohammad said.
