[Iraq] Protests: Peaceful protest

Summary

Single-source ACLED detection — awaiting independent verification. Teachers in Diwaniya district, Al Qadissiya province, Iraq organized a peaceful protest on April 6, 2025, demanding increased professional allowances, land allocations, and transportation fees. The demonstration was reportedly part of broader labor actions that day, though severity remains low.

Supply chain impact

No commodities or chokepoints are directly mapped to this event. Second-order effects depend on whether the reported broader strike actions materialize and spread to sectors with supply chain relevance, though the current teacher-focused protest appears limited to public sector labor grievances.

Watch points

• Monitor for confirmation of the reported "wider range of protests and strike actions" beyond the education sector
• Track whether labor unrest spreads to oil, agriculture, or logistics workers in Al Qadissiya or neighboring provinces
