Iraq's broken politics: corruption and gridlock (part 2)

Description

Supporters of Moqtada al-Sadr stormed Baghdad's Green Zone to demand that the government break with vested interests and militias that are crippling the country, a political gridlock that's enabled Isis to hold vast swathes of territory. A turning point that'll save or doom the Iraqi state? More broadly, 13 years after the overthrow of Saddam Hussein by a U-S-led coalition, how does Iraq hold it together between Shias, Sunnis and Kurds? And what role for outside players like the US and Iran?
