Ahmed, an Iraqi demonstrator, poses for a photograph during the ongoing anti-government protests in Baghdad, Iraq, November 12, 2019. Picture taken November 12, 2019. "I came to protest – I'm born in 1992. I studied and I graduated top of my class from school, but no universities will accept me. And even if you graduate from university, there are no jobs. My friend Hussein, he graduated with a degree in English translation and he can't get a job. Even if you want to work as a day labourer, you need a a powerful connection now. (...)The government is completely corrupt. It’s been 16 years and we haven’t benefited from them in anything: no jobs, no services – we don't even have sewage, it's the most basic thing. We don't have even drinking water." he said. REUTERS/Ahmed Jadallah
