Anti-govt protests continue in Iraq with activists demanding sweeping political reforms

University students hold a huge Iraqi flag during ongoing anti-government protests, in Baghdad, Iraq January 19, 2020.

In Baghdad's Tayaran Square overnight, protesters threw petrol bombs and stones at police who responded with tear gas and stun grenades, Reuters witnesses said. They say Prime Minister Adil Abdul Mahdi has not fulfilled promises including naming a new government acceptable to Iraqis. Baghdad police said its forces had successfully reopened all the roads that were closed by "violent gatherings".

How a stronger anti-war movement rallied to stop a march to war with IranWhy isn't 2020 more like 2002? Because there's a new infrastructure built to fight American interventions abroad. The consequences of 'anti-war politics' No it’s not. It’s 100% because people fundamentally distrust all politicians, and rightfully so. Their intelligence is trash, their reasons are bogus and childish and most of them don’t come off as genuine, or even slightly. Trump did, for awhile. Now he’s just another scumbag. How a stronger anti-war movement can’t seem to stop the likes of Politico, The Hill and Roll Call from running full page ads from armament industry corporations (meant to persuade members of Congress and their staff) thus supporting, and making money off of, the War Machine.
