Iraq's parliament approves prime minister's resignation Sunday Dec 01,2019

Iraqi lawmakers on Sunday dec 01,2019 approved the resignation of embattled Iraqi Prime Minister Adel Abdul Mahdi following two months of pro-reform protests that have left more than 430 demonstrators dead.

Parliament now heads into a showdown over who will lead the country next.

Demonstrators are demanding a new election law and a halt to a power-sharing arrangement dividing control of the government among powerful political groups.

Iraqis also are fed up with high unemployment, poor government services, and corruption.

The grassroots movement represents the most serious internal challenge to the government since the U.S.-led invasion in 2003 that toppled Saddam Hussein
