Farmers and contractors demonstrate in Basra and Maysan

Shafaq News / Farmers and contractors demonstrated on Wednesday in Maysan and Basra, in the far south of Iraq.

A local source in Basra told Shafaq News agency that the contractors and employees in the electricity departments closed the headquarters of the Energy Transmission and Production Company of the southern region.
