Do the violent protests in northern Iraq signal a Kurdish Spring ? The politics are the same; protesters demands are, too. But this time due to demographics, falling oil prices and the coronavirus pandemic it s different, locals in Iraqi Kurdistan say. Protesters set fire to political party offices and government buildings in the northern Iraqi city of Sulaymaniyah It is usually considered one of the safest areas in Iraq. But, over the past week, a spate of deadly violence has swept through Sulaymaniyah. Buildings have been burned, a curfew and travel ban enforced and the internet cut off.   Since early December, locals in this part of the autonomous northern region of Iraqi Kurdistan have been holding anti-government protests. These began because local authorities have not paid public sector employees full salaries since April. The protests are ongoing, despite a ban on demonstrations.
