Two protesters were injured today, Monday, as security forces dispersed an angry protest in the Al-Fuhud district in the eastern part of Dhi Qar province.

A source familiar with the province stated in a statement reviewed by the News Video Agency that the Al-Fuhud district in eastern Dhi Qar witnessed demonstrations where citizens protested against the poor electricity supply, which included blocking several main roads using burning tires.

He added that the protests, which were described as violent, resulted in the injury of the two protesters while security forces were dispersing the demonstrators, noting that the protesters raised explicit demands focused on dismissing the director of Dhi Qar Electricity, Mohammed Rouidi, due to the deterioration of service in the district.
