Southern Iraq unrest: Protest outside oil field near Basra
A wave of protests that have rocked southern Iraq entered a second week as the government battles to contain mounting anger over the poor services and unemployment.
People are still protesting across southern Iraq, despite a promise by the prime minister to create jobs and improve public services.
The unrest began in the oil-rich province of Basra last week and has spread to several other large cities.
Demonstrators say they’re not benefitting from Iraq’s vast oil wealth, because of government corruption and mismanagement.
