    Demonstrations in the Iraqi capital Baghdad, October 5. Reuters



    The protests in Iraq since Tuesday killed at least 112 people and wounded more than 6,000 others, according to a new toll announced by the authorities on Sunday evening. Interior Ministry spokesman Major General Saad Maan said the government did not fire directly at the protesters, while demonstrators set fire to 51 public buildings and eight political party headquarters. For its part, the government announced social measures, including grants to the unemployed, and the establishment of 100,000 housing, in an attempt to calm the situation in the country.

    Major General Saad Maan , spokesman for the Interior Ministry announced Sunday that the [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] witnessed by the country during the past five days have killed at least 104 people dead and injured more than 6,000 in the unrest in the country over less than a week, before rising the toll To 112 dead by Sunday evening.
    He said eight of the dead were security forces, while protesters set fire to 51 public buildings and eight political party headquarters.
    Renewed clashes and more deaths in Sadr City
    Later in the evening, police and medical sources said at least eight people were killed and 25 wounded in renewed clashes between protesters and police in Sadr City, east of Baghdad.

    Police said security forces, backed by the army, fired live ammunition and tear gas to disperse the crowds in two districts of Sadr City.

    He noted that the authorities also condemned all attacks on the media after reports of unidentified raids on the headquarters of local and international media.
    The authorities, which accuse "saboteurs" and "unidentified gunmen" infiltrators targeting demonstrators and security forces, that they have registered the names of people killed since Tuesday in the violence on the list of "martyrs", which opens the door to compensation for their relatives.
    Government announces social measures to calm protests
    For its part, the Iraqi government announced on Sunday morning a series of social measures in response to the demands of the demonstrators, in an attempt to calm the situation.
    At the end of an extraordinary session, the government of Adel Abdul-Mahdi, facing the biggest challenge since taking office a year ago, announced a resolution early on Sunday with 17 social measures ranging from housing assistance and grants to unemployed youth.
    The government also decided to build 100,000 houses. In September, local authorities in a number of areas began demolishing homes in informal neighborhoods where 3 million Iraqis built unlicensed buildings on state land.
    In addition, the government has ordered the creation of "modern marketing complexes" in an effort to create jobs, especially among young people, one in four of whom are unemployed in Iraq.
    Youth unemployment is the first driver of the protest movement that began on Tuesday, a sensitive issue in Iraq, where a young man burned himself in September in Kut in the south after his vehicle was seized for sale.
