IRAQ-POLITICS-NAJAF

Volunteers clean up the streets of the central city of Najaf on December 5, 2019 following anti-government protests. - The protest movement is Iraq's biggest since the US-led invasion of 2003 toppled Saddam Hussein and installed a democratic system in the oil-rich but poverty-plagued nation. Tens of thousands have vented their anger at a governing class they despise as inept, corrupt and beholden to foreign powers, especially neighbouring Iran, whose consulate in the city of Najaf was torched on November 27, 2019. The holy city has been a flashpoint since protesters torched the consulate, accusing Iraq's eastern neighbour of propping up a corrupt government in Baghdad.
