As sequel to protests in 2011, 2012 and 2013, Iraqi citizens have also in 2015 up until 2018 often and massively protested against the corruption and incompetence in their government which according to analysts and protesters had led to long-running problems in electricity supplies, clean water availability, Iranian interference in Iraqi politics, high unemployment, and a stagnant economy.

The muhasasa quota agreements of 2003–2006 (distributing ministerial positions including budgets over 'ethnic and religious groups', thus undermining and obliterating any sense of Iraqi national unity) were considered the root of most of those Iraqi problems.

Framing review our reading, not Wikipedia’s

Overall fairness Issue found

Our judgement of the summary’s overall fairness: emphasis, balance, what it leaves out, and contested claims stated as fact.

States in its own voice, inside a parenthesis, that the muhasasa quota system was "undermining and obliterating any sense of Iraqi national unity"; the defence of power-sharing is absent.

Wording check Nothing found

Checks the wording against Wikipedia’s own neutrality and wording guidelines.
