Basra protesters agree to halt oil-field escalation after talks

Basra, Iraq ·

Under the agreement, reached at a meeting of officials, lawmakers and protest representatives, protesters will shelve plans to enter nearby oil fields and keep to peaceful sit-ins. In return, state public works crews are to resume work in the Sadiq district.

Basra, in southern Iraq, is the country's main oil-producing province, and its residents have repeatedly protested over jobs and public services.
