It all started after the American innovation in Iraq.

After 2003, every Iraqi government that was created failed to meet people’s basic needs; for instance, water and electricity services. Corruption was spread all over the Iraqi government. In addition to that, a miserable security situation amid the presence of the government backed-backed by the government directly or by members of the Iraqi parliament-militias.

Since 2009, couple of mass protests occurred, but all of it were in vain. The protests were suppressed either by security forces or false promises.

This scenario continued for years, leaving tens of killed and hundreds of wounded people in addition to hundreds of activists thrown in jail-making no progress at all.

Early October of this year, the spark of the protest started. But this time it’s different, different spark, uniting all the different sects in Iraq in one common desire: Taking the corrupted government down.

What makes this movements and protests more special is, that it is not following any leader or party, having no desire but a better future for Iraq and Iraqi people.

Thus, and while security forces and militias are trying to suppress the protesters in a brutal way, the flame of the protests outspread from Baghdad to the southern Iraq.

More than 140 killed and 4000 wounded according to Rueters and the guardian. Again, alike to what happened in the previous protests, tens of activists were arrested.

The government also took down the internet in the most of the cities.

Only yesterday, more than 60 unarmed protesters got killed due to the use of live ammunition and the direct shot of tear gas canisters. Even sniped, in some locations.

It is important to mention that the most of these militias are Iran-backed forces.

3 tired motorbikes (tuk-tuk) working as an emergency ambulance to drive the wouned protesters to the hospital due to the lack of sufficianat amount of ambulance cars.

The millennials are the majority of the protesters, proving that the new generation is brave enough to ask for their rights and exercise them. Protesters Showing an outstanding braveness, the young Protestors hold still there in the Tahrir square-freedom square- despite the burtalty of the security forces.

Today, October 27, the students of universities and high schools also joined the protests; several activists are calling for a civil disobedience, making this protests the biggest in 16 years.

Amid the brutality in the streets, the prime minister of Iraq is trying, again, to suppress the movements by the false promises.

In summation, the awaken young protesters in Iraq are making revolution. Despite all the ways of suppressing, they found the light in that dark tunnel and they are chasing it. Help the Iraqi people to raise their voices. share it with the world!
