Protests in Iraq: Demanding the Departure of US Troops

On Friday, in response to a call by Iraqi Shia cleric Muqtada al-Sadr for a "Million Man March," thousands of Iraqis flooded the streets of Baghdad to demand the withdrawal of US troops from their country.                    Despite heavy security presence and the proximity to the US Embassy in the green zone, protestors defiantly wielded signs bearing slogans like "no, no to America" and "no, no to occupation," against the backdrop of Iraqi flags.               Protestors also carried caricature posters of US President Donald Trump.           The demand for US departure intensified after the killing of Iranian General Qassem Soleimani on January 3, with many Iraqis viewing it as an infringement on their country's sovereignty.   In response, Iran launched ballistic missiles at US ...
