IRAQ-POLITICS-DEMO-UNREST

Iraqi protesters stand under a banner reading "From Karbala to Beirut one goal, one trench" during ongoing anti-government demonstrations in the Shiite shrine city of Karbala, south of Iraq's capital Baghdad, on November 1, 2019. Iraq's top cleric warned foreign actors against interfering in his country's anti-government protests as they entered their second month despite pledges of reform and violence that has left over 250 dead. The demonstrations have evolved since October 1 from rage over corruption and unemployment to demands for a total government overhaul -- shunning both politicians and religious figures along the way.
