The Iraqi protests began in October 2019, driven by widespread dissatisfaction with government corruption, unemployment, and inadequate public services. Demonstrators, primarily young people, called for political reforms and an end to the influence of foreign powers, particularly Iran. The protests escalated in intensity, leading to violent clashes between protesters and security forces. Despite the government's attempts to quell the unrest through promises of reforms, the protests continued, highlighting deep-seated grievances among the Iraqi population. The movement has significantly impacted Iraq's political landscape and raised awareness of the need for systemic change.
