Protesters Storm Green Zone as 11 Killed in Iraqi ‘Day of Rage’

BAGHDAD (AP) — Thousands marched on government buildings and clashed with security forces Friday in cities across Iraq in an outpouring of anger that left 11 people dead – the largest and most violent anti-government protests in the country since political unrest began spreading in the Arab world weeks ago.
In northern Iraqi cities, security forces trying to push back crowds opened fire, killing nine demonstrators, In the western Anbar province two people were shot and killed in a protest. In the capital of Baghdad, demonstrators knocked down blast walls, threw rocks and scuffled with club-wielding troops who chased them down the street.
The protests, billed as a “Day of Rage, were fueled by anger over corruption, chronic unemployment and shoddy public services from the Shiite-dominated government. Shiite religious leaders discouraged people from taking part, greatly diminishing the Shiite participation and the overall size of the crowd in a country where such religious edicts hold great sway.
In the Sunni enclave of Azamiyah, one of the residents said that people there did not want to attend because they feared being labeled Saddamists. “The government has already convicted anyone who takes part in the demonstrations by accusing them of terrorism,” said 41-year-old Ammar al-Azami.
A Shiite resident from the New Baghdad neighborhood of the capital, Khalil Ibrahim, 44, one of about 3,000 protesters in downtown Baghdad, railed against a government that locks itself in the highly fortified Green Zone, home to the parliament and the U.S. Embassy, and is viewed by most of its citizens as more interested in personal gain than public service.
“We want a good life like human beings, not like animals,” Ibrahim said.
A report released last month by the U.S. reconstruction watchdog agency noted that Iraqi officials are trying to improve the nation’s electricity grid with hopes of meeting power demands by 2014.
“The lack of perceived improvements in Iraq’s water, sewage, and electricity systems could lead to popular unrest more so than political or sectarian disagreements,” the special inspector general for Iraqi reconstruction concluded.
The center of Baghdad was virtually locked down Friday, with soldiers searching protesters entering Liberation Square and closing off the plaza and side streets with razor wire. The heavy security presence reflected the official concerns that demonstrations here could gain traction as they did in Egypt and Tunisia, then spiral out of control.
Iraqi army helicopters buzzed overhead, while Humvees and trucks took up posts throughout the square, where flag-waving demonstrators shouted “No to unemployment,“ and ”No to the liar al-Maliki,” referring to Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki.
Demonstrators trying to get across a bridge going from the square to the Green Zone clashed with security forces. The demonstrators knocked down some of the concrete blast walls that were put up Thursday night and threw rocks at troops who beat them back with batons. Six riot police and 12 demonstrators were wounded in the melee, according to police and hospital officials.
The protests stretched from the northern city of Mosul to the southern city of Basra, reflecting the widespread anger many Iraqis feel at the government’s seeming inability to improve their lives.
The most deadly clashes came in the Mosul, 225 miles (360 kilometers) northwest of Baghdad. Hundreds of protesters gathered in front of the provincial council building, demanding jobs and better services, when guards opened fire, according to a police official. A police and hospital official said five protesters were killed and 15 people wounded.
Black smoke could later be seen billowing from the building.
A crowd of angry marchers in the northern city of Hawija, 150 miles (240 kilometers) north of Baghdad, tried to break into the city’s municipal building, said the head of the local city council, Ali Hussein Salih.
Security forces trying to block the crowd opened fire, killing three demonstrators and wounding 15, local officials said. Protesters set fire to three police stations and the municipal council building, said Brig. Gen. Sarhad Qadir. The Iraqi Army was eventually called in to restore order.
Around 1,000 demonstrators clashed with police in the western city of Fallujah 40 miles (65 kilometers) west of Baghdad, witnesses said. At least two people were killed and 14 others injured in riots in Anbar province, said Sheik Efan Saadoun, a provincial councilor in Anbar province; he did not know whether the deaths came in Fallujah or Ramadi where protesters also clashed with authorities.
Police used stun grenades to ward off about 1,000 demonstrators in Saddam Hussein’s former hometown of Tikrit and in the northern city of Kirkuk hundreds of people rallied against corruption in front of the provincial headquarters.
In the south, about 4,000 people demonstrated in front of the office of Gov. Sheltagh Aboud al-Mayahi in the port of Basra, Iraq’s second-largest city, 340 miles (550 kilometers) southeast of Baghdad. They knocked over one of the concrete barriers and demanded his resignation, saying he’d done nothing to improve services.
They appeared to get their wish when the commander of Basra military operations, Maj. Gen. Mohammad Jawad Hawaidi, told the crowd that the governor had resigned.
And in the southern city of Karbala, about 1,000 protesters rallied for better services.
In recent weeks, there had been scattered anti-government protests in Iraq. While most have been peaceful, a few have turned violent and seven people have been killed. The biggest rallies have been in the northern Kurdish city of Sulaimaniyah, 160 miles (260 kilometers) northeast of Baghdad, against the government of the self-ruled region.
Police opened fire Friday in the town of Kalar, south of Sulaimaniyah, when a crowd of demonstrators closed in on the headquarters of one of the main ruling parties, police and hospital officials said. One demonstrator was killed and 25 others wounded.
All the officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media.
On the eve of the marches, al-Maliki urged people to skip the rally, which he alleged was organized by Saddamists and al-Qaida – two of his favorite targets of blame for an array of Iraq’s ills. He offered no evidence to support his claim.

Posted on February 25, 2011 at 7:47pmIslam is the only major faith on the planet where by tradition they hire mourners when a baby is born and celebrate when a person dies. Following this logic the killing of the Libyan protesters should be praised by the Mullahs as a quick passage to paradise and the 72 virgins waiting for them.
When 9/11 happened they took to the streets in celebration and never demanded the violation of human rights of innocent Americans brutally killed. I believe Qaddafi is doing a favor by sending these protesters to their cherished paradise and the 72 eager virgins waiting for them. They should not be squalling about “human rights violations” when they are getting a quick ticket to heaven.

Dashriprock, EVERYBODY HERE KNOWS YOU’RE A TROLL. A STUPID TROLL AT THAT.
I can actually find the first time you started trolling me, because I have been keeping track.
This clown is so stupid, that he actually starts trying to give me financial advice.
FINANCIAL ADVICE!! AHAHAHAHA
I was totally dismantling his retardedness in debate on the topic of the thread, and he just up out the blue, changes the subject, and starts talking about some damn exchange trades or some crap!
OUTSTANDINGLY SILLY!

Posted on February 25, 2011 at 2:28pmA$$ZipLock also is the most simpleminded strawman-erector. It’s hilarious the garbage he spews.
I never said that commodities are traded on the NYSE. HE asserted that because he is so stupid.
I said they were traded on the stock exchange as ETFs and ETCs.
An exchange-traded fund (ETF) is an investment fund traded on stock exchanges, much like stocks.
He is just either THAT STUPID, or trying to deliberately discredit me, to no avail, because he is utterly incompetent, or both.

Posted on February 25, 2011 at 2:40pmDoc Green, I’m trying to keep up with you and stay ON TOPIC while dodging a barrage of tangential garbage from douchebags flying at me from every direction.
My head is going to remain on my body, because I’m not deluded into ignoring all the police state activity going on right here on my own soil, while being distracted with deliberately fomented BS in other countries WHERE I DON’T LIVE.
When they come here, they can have all the attention they want. Until then, I’m watching the Federal Government trample ALL OVER MY RIGHTS while stockpiling FOOD, AMMO, AND BULLION.
Besides, their 12th Imam or 13th IsLLama Camelfake or whatever they call it, can kiss my rear.
I’m sealed by the Lord Jesus Christ. he has already shown me my path. No weapon formed against me will prosper.

Look at the very first comment posted by Dashriprock on this page. Look at the time stamps.
haha
He doesn’t even comment on the topic at hand or say anything in response to any other comment.
He goes DIRECTLY for my comment, and starts TROLLING AWAY with fervor, like a swine grovelling for truffles on an ice cold winter day.
He is obsessed with me. All I did was mention my IQ to somebody who made a comment like “you should see a psychiatrist”. Dash interjected hisself and intially took offense to his own low intellect and has been trolling me ever since then.
He has never been able to get over it. At first, he was so flabberghasted that he just followed me around saying “172! AhAhah!” – laughing at hisself like it was the greatest joke on earth and every gets it. Then he just started following me around making ridiculous comments while I just mopped the floor with him.
Then one day, while discussing something totally unrelated, out of the blue comes this idiot talking about some financial crap that NOBODY WANTED TO HEAR.
It has gone nowhere but downhill from there.
He now has hallucinations of being Cramer from CNBC everytime I comment on a thread.
Sad, sad case of a troll.
He has never recovered.
It’s ok Dash. It really is.
You’ll get over it.

Iraq is different though, as the people can vote, and George Bush had already gotten rid of one of the worst dictators in the region. It could very well be Saddam loyalists and Al Qaida fomenting the protests. Of course the current government better keep the lights on.

Posted on February 25, 2011 at 3:50pmIf there is any doubt it the minds of American’s, that this whole world is a stage for the biggest deception of man kind, they must pay attention to the events now unfolding. Unrest in the Middle East, China, UK, and now the US.
The only country holding this world together is the US, and now that our representatives are abandoning democracy (Senators in Wisconsin, Indiana, and Ohio), our President practicing lawlessness (Justice Department), labor organizers are attempting to shut down the basic functions of the State (teachers and other departments of public service), and the attempted mistrust in our Military (the multiple and recent intelligence leaks.), the unrest needed to topple this great government is in place.
Movements all over this world are breaking out to destroy the democracy that has been establish, willingly exchanging it for totalitarian governments. Whether it be communists, socialists, or Islam, we are all in danger of being conquered; and the victor will show no mercy.
Revolution is coming, those who are working for it have been toiling for year, and we all need to be prepared.
