Deadly Anti-Government Protests Continue in Iraq

VOA News

   One Iraqi protester was killed and more than 30 others were wounded
   Sunday amid renewed clashes on a key bridge in Baghdad.

   The protesters now have control of three bridges crossing the Tigris
   River toward the heavily fortified Green Zone, the seat of Iraq's
   government.

   The protests that began in October over lack of jobs and public
   services have grown to include widespread corruption and income
   inequality. Demonstrators are now demanding the complete overhaul of
   the government.
