Most of the senior officials have already left the country. Most of the roads leading to central Baghdad were blocked, police sirens could be heard in the streets.

Troops were brought into the Iraqi capital, Baghdad, in connection with another seizure of parliament by activists. This was reported by Al-Hadath TV channel.

As mentioned in the country’s Ministry of Defense, the tasks of the security forces are to suppress any security violations, protect demonstrators, as well as state and private property.

According to local publications, most of the top officials have already left the country. Most of the roads leading to central Baghdad were blocked, police sirens could be heard in the streets. Troops have entered the city, and 125 demonstrators are reported to have been injured in clashes with security forces.

Earlier, supporters of the Shiite imam Muqtada al-Sadr entered the parliament building, located in the specially protected Green Zone of Baghdad. They oppose the nomination of Muhammad al-Sudani for the position of Prime Minister of Iraq from the Coordinating Structure bloc.

The protesters said they will not leave the parliament building until all their demands are met. The main one is the dissolution of the legislature and the creation of a transitional government where there are no people involved in corruption. In addition, activists are demanding a change in the leadership of the Supreme Judicial Council, which, in their opinion, is hindering the implementation of reforms.

In relation to the events in Iraq, the UN calls on all parties to the conflict to reduce tension and avoid violence.

The UN is following with concern the ongoing protests in Iraq, which have left many protesters injured, spokesman António Guterres said.

The UN is asking the opposing parties to put aside differences and form an effective national government.

It was previously reported that the offices of both parties were blown up in Baghdad.
