Fox News: Iraq Prime Minister Resigns After Two Weeks of Protests

EXCERPT:

YINGST: "Arthel, good afternoon. That’s right. Over the weekend, Iraqi Prime Minister Abdul-Mahdi submitted his resignation to parliament as bloody protests do continue across the country. Now, according to the Iraqi Constitution, the current president Barham Salih will have an opportunity to run the government for the next 15 days until a new prime minister is appointed and a new cabinet is formed. Over the past month, more than 400 have been killed and thousands injured as anti-government demonstrations continue. This weekend at least two people were killed as clashes erupted in the city of Najaf. Now, security forces used live ammunition and tear gas there. The bodies were then carried through the streets from the mosque to the grave as protesters chanted in Arabic, quote, 'There is no God but Allah.' The events drew reaction from Pope Francis today at the Vatican where he condemned the, quote, harsh response against civilians.”
