\u201cIraq’s new prime minister reinstates popular general to head of counter-terrorism,\u201d<\/a> Gareth Browne, Telegraph, May 11, 2020.\u00a0\u00a0\u201cIraq\u2019s newly confirmed prime minister Mustafa Al-Kadhimi announced the reinstatement of a top general whose sacking in September sparked a wave of protests across the country.\u00a0 Speaking on state television on Saturday, Mr Kadhimi said that General Abdul Wahab Al-Saadi would be reinstated and promoted to head of the country\u2019s elite Counter-Terrorism Services.\u00a0 In an olive branch to protesters, Mr Kadhimi also announced the release of those arrested at demonstrations which have flared up in cities across the country since October. He promised investigations into the deaths of hundreds of protesters killed in those demonstrations.\u00a0 Mr Saadi, a national hero from the country\u2019s battles with Islamic State, is widely regarded as being close to the US. His sacking in September was interpreted by many as an indication of Iran\u2019s growing influence over Baghdad. Hours after the announcement, protesters took to streets in cities across the country.\u201d\u00a0 Now it appears that is being reversed.<\/p>\n
