On June 7, 2011 Prime Minister Maliki's 100-day deadline for reforming the government of Iraq expired, and his promise to make improvements turned out to have been hollow. In response, on June 10 demonstrations took place in nine cities in northern, central and southern Iraq. Protests occurred in Basra city, Hillah in Babil, Diwaniya in Qadisiyah, Nasiriyah in Dhi Qar, Najaf city, Kirkuk in Tamim, Mosul in Ninewa, and Karbala city.For details, see this fine report by Musings on Iraq.

Hello Conventrian. My answer is unchanged.
Off topic, I wondered if you might be able to help me - I can't figure out who is sitting next to Gordon Brown in this picture. I want to say it's a young Barry Sheerman, but the mouth looks wrong.

Salam : I follow "Iraqi Letter" which posted 19 articles on 14 June. My four part history of the Iraqi Communist Party appeared on this blog on 22,23,25 and 26 April, 2007. And although it is dated, this link explains some of my interests and past involvements with Iraq -

In all I have posted 167 items on Iraq - more than on any other topic. Links to each new item from "Iraqi Letter" appear automatically on a service on my computer.
Salam : The first item on this blog was a tester by my son who set the blog up for me for my 70th birthday party (where my photo in the right hand column then emerged from). That was nearly five years ago. The next item on my 70th birthday itself is "Hadi Never Died" being my preface to the TUC book about Hadi Saleh and the Iraqi Trade Unions.
