The announcement of the resignation of the Prime Minister of Iraq, Adel Abdel Mahdi, caused celebrations throughout the country. The resignation must now be ratified by the Iraqi Parliament and is the result of months of protests and fierce repression that caused the death of almost 400 people since October. Iraqis have protested against corruption and incompetence in government, unemployment and inflation, as well as Iran's interference in government affairs, which has been denounced by various sectors of the country.
