Anti-government protesters at the Joumhouriya bridge, Baghdad, on Sunday
IRAQ’S Communist Party called for a new type of government and for the momentum of the current uprising to continue until its demands are realised as roads were blocked in Baghdad on Sunday.
A party statement branded the current system a “terrible failure at all levels” as mass anti-government protests over unemployment, corruption and poor delivery of services continued.
It claimed that the popular uprising had created “a new reality” with people not coming out on to the streets for “partial solutions and cosmetic reforms.”
