Protests in Iraq continue as UN prepares a reform plan with Grand Ayatollah Ali Sistani's backing, aimed at ending violence that has killed more than 300 people
A tuk-tuk in Baghdad's Tahrir Square on November 12, 2019 as the Iraqi capital braces for another day of anti-government demonstrations.
The UN's top Iraq representative, Jeanine Hennis-Plasschaert, met with Iraq's top religious authority on Monday, days after influential neighbour Iran brokered a political deal to keep the ruling system in place. "Let them intervene more in Iraq. We want them here. Our people were starved, killed. We've been through everything."Security forces again sealed off Tahrir with concrete blocks, which activists had earlier pulled down, and lobbed sound grenades at teenage boys who had skipped class to protest.
But political parties appear to have rallied around the government of embattled Prime Minister Adil Abdul Mahdi.
