SULAIMANIYAH, Iraq: Hundreds of protesters faced off with security forces in Iraqi Kurdistan for a fourth day on Thursday, demanding the resignation of politicians accused of graft. Police deployed en masse in the town of Rania, where five demonstrators were shot dead and dozens wounded on Tuesday amid public anger over an economic crisis partly triggered by an independence vote. Since Monday, around 20 party offices and a town hall have been set ablaze across the autonomous region as protesters ramped up calls for the government to quit.
