Thousands of protesters break into Baghdad ‘Green Zone’

Iraqi protesters gather outside the parliament after breaking into Baghdad’s heavily fortified “Green Zone” on April 30, 2016. Thousands of angry protesters broke into Baghdad’s Green Zone and stormed the parliament building after lawmakers again failed to approve new ministers. Jubilant supporters of cleric Moqtada al-Sadr invaded the main session hall, shouting slogans glorifying their leader and claiming that they had rooted out corruption.
