I wish the Iraqi people the best I hope you can either get the government to get their ass into gear or otherwise replace them. I have spoken to plenty of family members in Kurdistan and they're all wishing you all the best.
It's a sad state of affairs but I hope it works out for the better.
If so, it's a sign of good progress in Iraqi society and mindset. Such a thing wouldn't be possible just 10 years ago, it was always sort of 'us' vs 'them', these groups being ethnically and/or religiously defined.
The "freedom" government blocks the internet to censor people? I find that somewhat ironic...
(I presume that's the name of the party in power or something. It sure doesn't seem like it's a description of their behavior.)
Why "freedom"? Is it the name of a political party?
Here is a local service monitor for all major ISPs in Iraq: http://akonet.info
This is the usual procedure by the "freedom" government they do this every time, the only issue is this time the protestors are not carrying any flags or any political or religious figures names etc... only the Iraqi flag and burning Iranian flags,
so far it's people(sometimes people and the army) vs government... few people got killed already, there is news the Baghdad airport has fallen into the hands of the protestors, and most of the main roads are blocked and crowded with people
//UPDATE:
All cities are offline except Kurdistan up north
