POPULAR unrest has continued in Iraqi Kurdistan for a third day, with protesters calling on the government to resign.
Thousands took part in a demonstration in Sulaymaniyah’s Rania district yesterday morning after the killing of six people who were demanding the resignation of the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG).
They took to the streets dressed mainly in black chanting: “Martyrs are immortal” as tensions escalated across the region, with large protests taking place in a number of cities.
