Talk:2012–2013 Iraqi protests

How much of this is spillover from syria?
After all the people killed and the genuine battles, it's not really just protests.Ericl (talk) 17:50, 24 June 2013 (UTC)
 * There is violence, and often those committing violence support the protests, but not all those supporting the protests support the violence. The ongoing insurgency, the war in Syria, and the protests are all linked, but they all have their own nuances and reasons behind them. They're all part of a wider civil and military internal conflict in Iraq, but they're also all different. The protests are still primarily a civil conflict, rather than a military one.

 * It looks like the protests have mostly dried up since the renewal of violence in Anbar (so ended around January 2014). MrPenguin20 (talk) 12:08, 26 June 2014 (UTC)

The deathtoll is wildly inaccurate
This death toll of 200+ for the whole protest excludes the Hawija clashes which left 330+ people dead as a direct result of the protests, in areas where protests were happening.

If we factor in those who were killed by Sunni and Shia militias as well as those killed in battles and bombings that culminated from the protests, the actual number is far higher than 200, likely 500 at minimum, probably around 1,000 if I had to estimate.

The best way to revise this is to look at all of the clashes and battles in Sunni areas where concurrent protests were happening and add up their deathtolls into the protests. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 146.115.75.143 (talk) 20:57, 23 November 2020 (UTC)
