The protest movement against corruption, unemployment and the decay of public services continues in Iraq, where the protesters did not flee, according to our correspondent Lucile Wassermann. New clashes with security forces protesters against Baghdad and heavy gunfire resounded throughout Friday and part of the night in the capital. "Snipers made their appearance in the streets of the capital, we have witnessed," says even Lucile Wassermann. Eight people were wounded in particular by sniper fire, she adds. On the political front, the influential Iraqi Shiite leader Moqtada Sadr stood out by directly demanding the resignation of Adel Abdel Mahdi's prime minister, who had called on the protesters to be patient.
