Kosovo, Taiwan... and another country on the brink of war. In the Iraqi capital, Baghdad, due to mass protests, troops were brought in at night, and some high-ranking officials have already fled the country, local media reported.

Demonstrators had previously taken over the parliament building, and at the weekend they took to the streets again.

The political crisis in Iraq began after the parliamentary elections in October - demonstrators oppose the nomination of Muhammad al-Sudani, who is considered a protege of Iran, to the post of prime minister.
