IRAQ. Protest movement. February 26, 2020 

Moises Saman 

Starting on October 25, 2019 a mass protests took place in cities in Iraq against corruption and a national government that protestors saw as unaccountable for its actions. After the U.S. occupation (2003–2011), oligarchs and warlords were perceived to have taken control over Iraq. While the country produces more oil than the United Arab Emirates, the oil revenues were seen by protestors as failing to be spent on maintenance of hospitals and roads. A widely used slogan in this phase of the protests was: "We want a home land"—reflecting a longing both for a sense of unity and for a self-determined life in dignity.
