Hundreds of people demonstrate in west Iraq’s Falluja city

ANBAR / IraqiNews.com: Hundreds of citizens have demonstrated in west Iraq‘s Falluja city on Tuesday, demanding the government to achieve services for the city, eye witnesses told IraqiNews.com news agency. “Hundreds of Felluja citizens have demonstrated in its Maysaloun square, demanding services and rejecting the plans for division and federalism in Iraq,” the source said, adding that the demonstration was attended by a number of tribal chieftains, intellectuals and unemployed people, whilst the city had witnessed strict security measures to protect the demonstrators. Noteworthy is that Tuesday’s demonstration was not the first of its kind in Anbar Province, capital of which, Ramadi, had witnessed a demonstration by hundreds of its people on 13/2/2011, demanding the government to fire the Province’s Governor and non-interference by Tribal Chieftains in its affairs.   Another demonstration was launched in Ramadi on 6/2/2011, demanding services, putting an end to unemployment and administrative corruption in the Province.
