Security forces have killed at least five protesters who were demanding the resignation of the Kurdish Regional Government (KRG) in the Iraqi Kurdish region.

Dozens were also wounded in the Tuesday demonstration, as anger that grew over a failed bid for independence in September took hold of the northern province.

The rallies started on Monday, when protesters attacked the headquarters of the region’s five political parties and a building of the security services in the Sulaymaniyah province.
