The largest demonstrations were in Baghdad, Karbala, Hilla, Basra, al-Kut, al-Nasira, and Najaf. Many other cities also saw the people reminding the government that ISIS will not distract them from demanding that the deeper problems of the nation be remedied.
Many thousands took to the streets in massive NON-VIOLENT protests focusing on corruption, water cuts, inadequate electricity, rising unemployment rates, and the interruption of government salaries.
Thousands continue to demonstrate daily despite sporadic attacks by police and 'unknown' assailants.
