Well wolf this is speaking to people who have been coming from the area where the shooting took place and that is the square which is just behind this factory or square that im standing in and theyre telling me that there is no security presence and as of a few minutes ago that there is an absence of any kind of security this is concerning because their base supposed to be governor provided security for these demonstrators in these areas that is a point that theyre trying to make is that they do need protection from groups that carried out attacks such as last night. Concerning issue is not only the best so that continues to rise for that who is responsible for these attacks one of the as spokesman we spoke to from a group a long intimate father of souther said that they themselves lost 3 of their own security members in the gunfire thats a place last night and that there really isnt any room for this kind of Division Within the groups that are trying to bring about some kind of political change in this country so the violence thats how is that affecting what the protesters want how theyre going to get it i mean the politics of trying to choose the next Prime Minister what is the effect of all of this. Well it just makes things a lot more complicated in an already very complicated country there are deep political divisions sectarian divisions and these kinds of attacks only add to those greater divisions they increase those divisions they say that these kinds of attacks are not helping the main spread demands of the protesters and that is a systematic change in iraq and until these divisions continue and use a passion to you theyre not going to get what they want because the concern will be shifting towards the security and stability of the country rather than political reform which is what the demonstrators have wanted here police.
