Southern Iraq unrest: Protest outside oil field near Basra

Southern Iraq unrest: Protest outside oil field near Basra

People are still protesting across southern Iraq, despite a promise by the prime minister to create jobs and improve public services.

The unrest began in the oil-rich province of Basra last week and has spread to several other large cities.

Demonstrators say they're not benefitting from Iraq's vast oil wealth, because of government corruption and mismanagement.
