It all started when protesters loyal to the cleric Muqtada al-Sadr stormed the government palace and seized other government buildings.
The Iraqi army announced a nationwide curfew and the prime minister suspended cabinet sessions in response to the violence. However, everything seems to have escalated, as there have been clashes even at oil refineries and it appears that militia groups that have nothing to do with the government or Sadr have taken advantage of the chaos to attack their opponents.
