Demands for early elections in Nassiriya

THI QAR / IraqiNews.com: About 300 persons demonstrated in the center of Nassiriya city today demanding early elections, an organizer noted. Adel Thamer told IraqiNews.com that “the 100 days are finished without any tangible developments in the services. In addition, the justifications given by the government were not convincing.” “The government made unrealistic promises, even to itself,” he added. Tens of Thi Qar citizens demonstrated last Wednesday before the Provincial Council‘s premises demanding the resignation of the governor, better services, distribution of food ration card and provide new work opportunities. Nassiriya city, the center of Thi Qar Province, lies 380 km south of the capital, Baghdad. RM (TS)/SR 1045
