Tens of thousands of Iraqis gather in Baghdad's Tahrir Square in one of the biggest demonstrations the country has seen yet
Anti-government protesters gather in Tahrir Square during ongoing protests in Baghdad, Iraq, Thursday, Oct. 31, 2019.
Thousands have been camped out in the square, with many thousands more joining them by day. Friday, the Muslim main day of prayer, drew the biggest crowds yet, with many taking to the streets after worship. "Every time we smell death from your smoke, we yearn more to cross your republic's bridge," someone wrote on a nearby wall.
A woman pushed her baby in a stroller draped with an Iraqi flag while representatives from several Iraqi tribes waved banners pledging support for the protesters. "No one person or group or side with an agenda, or any regional or international party, can infringe upon the will of Iraqis or force an opinion upon them," Sistani's representative said during a sermon in the holy city of Karbala.
