15.07.2016

Thousands of supporters of Moqtada al-Sadr took to the streets of Baghdad to protest against government policies and corruption in Iraq's leadership. Earlier, in April and May of this year, the Sadrists stormed the "green zone of Baghdad", where foreign embassies and governmental buildings are located. Experts believe that Moqtada al-Sadr seeks to improve his status in Iraqi politics.
