IRAQ-POLITICS-PROTEST-BAGHDAD

Iraqis rest near the "Crossed Swords monument" in Baghdad's heavily fortified "Green Zone" on May 1, 2016, the day after supporters of Shiite cleric Moqtada al-Sadr broke into the area after lawmakers again failed to approve new ministers. Thousands of wide-eyed Iraqis marvelled at the fountains, flowers and perfect lawns in the capital's Green Zone, a day after protesters breached the walls of the fortified area. The visitors were mostly protesters who broke in but also included Baghdadis taking the opportunity to see an area that was off-limits for so many years that it acquired almost mythical status in the psyche of ordinary citizens / AFP / AHMAD AL-RUBAYE (Photo credit should read AHMAD AL-RUBAYE/AFP via Getty Images)
