baghdad as a rocky security forces confront protesters for a 2nd day. throughout wednesday iraqi security forces placed a ring of around to korea square the focal point of the protests. but they weren't deterred by the show of force they came in large numbers and full running battles in nearby streets and in other neighborhoods their message to government leaders is simple that. our demands we won't work we won't work if they do not want to treat us as iraqis then tell us we are not iraqi and we will find other nationalities and migrate to other countries that nobody thought we had demanding the change we want the downfall of the whole government that message of bringing down the government will concern prime minister other loved his office says he will meet the protesters as well as set up a commission to investigate events including the deaths of demonstrators quite who the prime minister will meet is unclear analysts suggest this is not a movement that seems to be led by any political party or religious movement but is

born of frustration you know there is no one coming behind. because you saw that you see that from. the still compare their eyes if you think going to . religion the government has cut off internet services nationwide a sign of how seriously the leadership sees the power of social media used by the protesters and it's not just the capital baghdad we're hearing that protests have been taking place and at least 5 other cities and that's going to be concerning to the. government now what sources close to the iraqi government have told out as they are is that they're very worried about opposition political parties and religious parties joining the protesters because that could swell numbers and make this a major nationwide movement now right now seemingly this protest movement is actually leaderless what most analysts are suggesting that it may will become bigger and bigger in the coming days but quite how effective it will be remains to be seen in

ronkonkoma which is their background. danny served in the iraqi army for 30 years and was formally the iraq defense attash a to the united states he joins us from manassas in virginia thank you very much for joining us and i start by asking you what you think is fueling these growing process they don't seem to be dying down do they. well i thank you very much for having me i think the protest is. not surprising for me personally and for everyone in a tight iraq because the poor governance of the concert at the government since 2003 answered no. mismanagement corruption poor or supplies of the basic services to the population many many things that has made the people boil because. you know many many of the problems that create that it people

unemployment in a high. you know percentage over 30 is a high electricity many think that you know iraqis are deprived from the normal life and equal opportunity unfortunately the political or class has shared power shared the wealth share everything and left the people without the advantage. just such a while we've been speaking where we're hearing a for pulled 'd off a blast in baghdad's green zone that's according to reuters news agency the cause of that is still unclear but that's despite this curfew this isn't a particularly positive situation for for the president what would she think he's doing to bring the situation under control and to instill calm is he doing enough i don't think show right now it's not to clear unfortunately the protest has no

need or share and their demands are not to clear as well hopefully that they will form and develop some kind of leadership and develop some kind of good man and especially the bad should have been forwarded through to. you know the presidency and to prime minister and department as well to see the serious problems that iraqi people are having unfortunately because that you have got lots of mishaps and need to be fixed the electoral system has been legalized or legislated in a way that to serve the political parties are only and that and therefore i think even better just lation are only serving to political parties who are into power fortunately the democracy is in a chaotic

a problem and there are lots of buyers there are you know the low is not applied on the political looking at the corrupt. figures and offer shields and therefore i think there are many many demands should be metered have been delivered to the people and should have been fixed by the presidency and the prime minister and the political party. very tense scene in multiple towns in iraq thank you very much for joining us thank you. plenty more ahead on the news hour including morris johnson delivers a new bricks and offer to the e.u. including proposals to resolve the irish but with a problem. afterwards here in my life. i found here. but brought on your own tributes to murdered saudi journalists
