Iraq: Drone captures hundreds of thousands in Bagdad protesting govt. corruption

Hundreds of thousands of people gathered at Tahrir Square in Baghdad, Friday, to protest against alleged corruption in the Iraqi government.
The rally, led by popular Shia figure Muqtada al-Sadr, chanted the slogan "yes to reforms, no to corruption." Al-Sadr gave a speech, denouncing the government's alleged involvement in corruption while calling for institutional reforms.
Al-Sadr arrived in Baghdad on Wednesday to discuss with Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi the formation of a new government that is "able to meet the needs of Iraqi people."
Baghdad was under heavy security presence, with road blocks in the city centre leading to Tahrir Square.
