Hundreds protested in Iraq's northeastern city of Sulaimaniyah Friday against Kurdish authorities they accuse of being corrupt and causing a major fiscal crisis.
Protests against the Kurdish regional government (KRG) and the region's main parties broke out last week after months of delayed public sector salaries and pay cuts.
Following days of demonstrations in towns and villages in the Sulaimaniyah region, hundreds gathered outside a local government building in the provincial capital Friday.
"I came to protest for my salaries and for my children's lives. We've had enough of this suffering," Fatima Hassan, a 25-year-old public sector worker, told an AFP correspondent there.
Crowds of protesters around her yelled chants in Kurdish against local authorities, accusing them of corruption.
