1:02 pm
injured well let's go straight now talk or a spokesman a full 10 who is in baghdad for us so much to talk us through how turnouts looking today. well by now we can say that thousands of people have come here to baghdad where which you can see behind me this includes the students we have which have recently joined they used to be an integral part of this protest movement they used to show up in fighters where every sunday to show their support for the force because of the port of miami and that makes but also because of the crackdown on these folks as they suspended their attendance here for the past few months we have seen them show up in their hundreds and we've also seen gatherings on the other side of the river across the river tigris at the entrance to where the green zone it seems that some groups today are trying to enter the green zone which of course houses the parliament house from the from the government offices so they're trying
1:03 pm
to delay the situation in a way to pressure the government to listen to their demands which they feel have not been fulfilled so many obviously the greens and a hugely sensitive area how a government forces like e to react if they do try to enter that. prime minister will fall god to me gave a speech last night in which he urged both security forces and protesters to behave in a way here urged protesters to respect the players curative forces to not provoke any kind of reaction on their part and he also said the security forces would not be using live ammunition he said that they were forbidden to use any kind of force and from what we can see at the entrance towards the green zone that the several gates around the city the security forces have put up several levels of concrete barriers there is up to 3 or 4 various to try to prevent the entry as far as i could see last night they were only equipped with bats and now it remains to be seen if it's . phase the way she brought us to really try to cross because there have been
1:04 pm
accusations in the past by both protesters as well as human rights organizations that some parts of the security forces don't really follow the chain of command and some of them are infiltrated by different army will he use the 5th of violence against protesters so the question will be whether security forces will really continue to be able to restrained way and the 1st to go through protesters will remain useful because some of them do sometimes resort to violence i've seen the protesters assembled all of the pop fields earlier today which they intend to use in self defense as they say so it really goes both ways here and we just have to wait and see how it unfolds into the late afternoon and evening i was staying across that for you here on out there for us in baghdad thanks man who lost his protest in iraq where actually the largest anti-government movement since the fall of saddam hussein back in 2003 the capital iconic to risk where that you saw there
1:05 pm
became its epicenter hundreds of thousands took to the streets demanding the ousting of iraq's entire political elite they were accused of ineptitude corruption and being obligated to neighboring iran around $600.00 protesters were killed thousands more injured in months of unrest the movement has since lost momentum in the ground to a halt during the coronavirus pandemic the protests forced the resignation of prime minister abe a bloody back in november its new leaders have yet to deliver major reforms from the country where the world bank says one in 3 young people are now unemployed well let's not speak disease and he's an analyst and research of specializing in identity politics in iraq and he joins us now from here in doha mr hayden the economic situation still incredibly die if a so many given the ebbing momentum that when asked seeing with these protests is anything likely still to change. well the main changes that we could say is that the protest movement after one year. since its outbreak is still very powerful it's
1:06 pm
very significant iraq after the october revolution is not the same iraq as before the october revolution they use as it was very well organized it's very clear they're very be aware of the revolution is a youth grassroots movement that is standing up against the political elite whether it is and the government and the militias or political parties governing or controlling or influencing the iraqi political arena and economics from beyond the government people and activists peaceful activists we're still targeting directly there we still can now and assassinated throughout probably past months just that would be the one year commemoration or the end of grocery of the of called the revolution not much has changed maybe in the early stages of theo the revolution last year we saw the resignation of the prime minister and the the announcement of
1:07 pm
a possible as a nation by the president his or symbolic achievements of the protest movement you know cobra revolution in iraq yet we don't have just the changes that are happening it's the same parliament still the same parties that are governing the country unemployment and rampant corruption still exist any rot you thought of lucian currently is not only focusing on targeting the political status quo in iraq but it's also demanding to get the justice off the chill of the assassinated piece from protests there's over 600 peaceful those things where you know since last year prime minister the most important and we promise the supper committee to investigate the behind the assassinations of those peaceful protesters and nothing has been put forward to the public as of yet now i want to ask you more about that because you mentioned arrests to mean it does appear that a crackdown on activists has been escalating in recent months even while the pm i
1:08 pm
understand has been offering some of the protest leaders a relatively high profile position is what is his strategy here. well the strategy is as there's there's a political strategy to try to infiltrate into the protest movement as your correspondent mentioned out there as such by a once happening probably from both sides and particularly in the in this movement i would disagree with that because just as we acknowledge the fact that the military forces and the police forces in iraq or infiltrated with some of the militias are the armed wings of the political parties in iraq that are probably causing the political and the stability for the security tactic they prayed to to transform the revolution from a peaceful one into an on the on there is also implication into the protest movement which we realized happening in the summer in january when the sudras movement tried to infiltrate into the secular and youth who this movement and switch it into a and a rino political conflicts and disagreements so rather than
1:09 pm
a pure. uprising by the youth against the political class well let me ask you about the road from here then new elections have been promised for june next year i believe where do you see the stein manic and going in the lead up to elections. well it always also goes back to the main point of the protest movement they don't want to see any new elections or any new governments being formed under the same political influence we still have the quota which distribute distributes the main political positions and the government according to an ethnic sectarian distribution between the political parties that i don't let the dominating those secure in groups people in iraq want to see qualified independent politicians leading the government and being able to rewrite the
quote
1:10 pm
constitution that was written under the of the us open occupation new elections new government's new prime ministers really serve the demands of the protesters when they come from the same political influence on the same political elite under the same political agendas and just being pushed by regional power and just many of them are religious and ringback. continue watching those dynamics very closely here and out of there they had an al konami there and analyst and identity politics in iraq thanks for being with us here on out of there now the united nations and the african union have both strongly condemned an attack on a school and cameron at least 8 students were killed 13 seriously engined it happened in the southwest city of combat and you shall have more a gruesome attack on children who were only trying to get an education armed men carrying guns machetes enters a bilingual school on saturday saw students in class and opened fire. on the

1:43 pm
