Demonstrations in Southern Iraq

There have been large protests and demonstrations being held in southern Iraq, mainly Baghdad, Nasiriyah and Basra. These protests are being held because people are demanding for corruption in the government to end, more jobs and better public services.
Since the beginning of October more that 300 protesters have been shot down and more that a thousand more have been injured because of the want for change in the country. At first these demonstrations were peaceful and only in Baghdad, but after the government responded with the use of deadly force the protests spread throughout the country and became more violent. Many of the protesters participating are younger than 40 and are demanding for change.
