Two killed, 35 wounded in Baghdad protests - police, medics

November 14, 2019 - Iraq, Asia, Middle East - Security forces killed two protesters and wounded 35 others in Baghdad today, police and medical sources said, as thousands of Iraqis continued a wave of anti-government protests. More than 300 people have died across Iraq since anti-government protests began in early October. But that hasn't deterred young people who, frustrated with years of empty promises from a political elite they say is endemically corrupt, flock to Baghdad's Tahrir Square daily. They say they will not leave until their demands - for jobs, basic services and respect from their political leaders - are met, even if it takes years.
