On Saturday, the city of Nasiriyah, the capital of Dhi Qar Province in Iraq, witnessed protests against the deterioration of services and demands for job opportunities. The demonstrations escalated significantly, with protesters blocking several main roads using burning tires, declaring their intention to continue the protest movement due to the worsening services.
Riot police have been deployed near government institutions in anticipation of any emergencies, especially after protesters threatened to burn those institutions. Nasiriyah is known among Iraqis as the province that experiences the most protests, often accompanied by violence involving security forces.
