Protest against poor services, power outages

Описание: (7 Aug 2015) Thousands of Iraqis have braved the scorching summer heat to stage a huge protest in central Baghdad on Friday against government corruption and power outages.
Men, women and children waved Iraqi flags and chanted through the evening, calling on Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi to dissolve the parliament and sack corrupt government officials.
This is the second Friday of protests in Baghdad and across Iraq, with people initially calling on authorities to address the country's chronic electricity problems as temperatures in the capital soared above 50 degrees Celsius (123 Fahrenheit).
