Protesters run as they chant anti-Iraqi government slogans during a protest in Baghdad's Tahrir Square. Hundreds of demonstrators converged on central Baghdad as part of a rally inspired by uprisings across the Middle East and dubbed the "Day of Rage."

In Iraq, large demonstrations have led to violence and clashes with riot police, as protesters use a "Day of Rage" to demand an end to food shortages and electricity outages that they say have only gotten worse in recent years.

Thousands of protesters hit the streets of Basra Friday, forcing the city's mayor to resign his post. And clashes with security forces have left at least 11 civilians dead, according to the AP.

In a Newscast report from Iraq, Kelly McEvers says:

    The most violent protests were in the northern city of Mosul, where demonstrators tried to burn the regional government headquarters, demanding jobs and better services. Guards opened fire.

    Protests continued in a dozen cities across the country. In Baghdad, protesters clashed with riot police after knocking down concrete blast walls protecting a bridge to the fortified Green Zone.



In addition to food and electricity, the Iraqi protesters are also agitated by continuing corruption in their country, and a lack of employment opportunities — two complaints that have helped to drive protests in Tunisia, Egypt and other Middle Eastern countries.

According to the AP, many religious leaders in Iraq's Shiite community tried to discourage their followers from joining demonstrations against the government, which is led by Shiite officials.

And Thursday night, Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri Kamal al-Maliki used a television address to urge Iraqis to be patient with his government.

In another move to limit the size of the demonstrations, much of Baghdad was under a near-total ban on road traffic Friday, and security forces have been enforcing curfews in Baghdad and other cities, as well.

又是一個產油國。

不一定，好像凡穆斯林國家都被感染了此次花柳流行病。真有可能像卡扎菲說的，是基地組織長年地下革命的結果。

利比亞可能是基地乾的，因為他們一上來就是武力反政府，而不是和平示威，說明背後有武裝力量支持。基地也想搞個油田經營一下，貼補財政。

只有伊拉克的事件是基地組織乾的，所以必須鎮壓，對，武力鎮壓！
