A word on one of the dynamics behind the Iraq protests, namely: youth unemployment. In Iraq, 40% of the country is under 14, and 60% is under 25. Youth unemployment is around 40%. Changing demographics should keep policymakers up at night across the region. pic.twitter.com/NayNpIeR2I

If prices trend lower in the future, because of the energy transition, for example, then the issue could become that much more acute. It's been said a thousand times before, but it doesn't make it any less true or urgent: Iraq needs to diversify its economy.

Situation getting a lot worse:

TODAY: Iraq forces fire live rounds against their own people, killing 7. Protests in Baghdad, Diwaniyah, Nasriyah, Najaf. Hundreds wounded. Protesters chant "Iran out out, Baghdad free free.”

2 WEEKS FROM TODAY: Iraq expected to win re-election to the U.N. Human Rights Council. https://t.co/zaJptInEDO

#BAGHDAD: No apparent leadership in today's demos but wide range of grievances: from Saadi's decommissioning to corruption to anger over no jobs, electricity or water.

Breaking: All the world expected big protests in #Iraq this summer, but did not happen because they want to give the govt a chance despite the continued poor services, but after the govt's decision to remove Saadi, the protests began today from #Baghdad & may be the biggest. pic.twitter.com/94aQ7Of8AU

This is how the ruling Islamic parties deal with the Iraqi demonstrators today in Tahrir Square in the center of the Iraqi capital #Baghdad
Demanding the most basic of their rights is facing live fire, arrests and torture in the prisons of the Republic of #Iraq. pic.twitter.com/htP6ckAbjU
