As protests continue to escalate in Iraq the UN has called
for an end to all the loss of life. The protests began recently as citizens of
the country called for reform in the government and an end to corruption. While
the government initially responded with sanctions to block the protestors these
ultimately proved unsuccessful. The situation quickly escalated as the Prime
Minister sanctioned private security forces to confront the protestors with lethal
ammunition. This has led to the death of almost 100 individuals and over 4,000
injuries. Since the fall of IS in recent years, this is the most unstable the
region has been. This situation appears to be a much darker alternative to what
has been happening in Hong Kong recently.
