Residents in the Rawandz region, north east of Kurdistan’s capital Arbil, said that protesters took to the streets and blocked a main highway leading to a border crossing with Iran.
A medical source in the area’s Ashti hospital said that “the body of a man who was killed by gunshot arrived at the hospital,“ with locals saying he was involved in the protests.
Regional authorities did not comment on the protests.
Last week, regional authorities announced that more than 30 percent of the Kurdistan region now has 24-hour state-provided electricity, but vast areas still suffer from long power cuts forcing many households to rely on private generators.
The national grid struggles to meet demand, leaving most areas reliant on imported energy, mostly from neighbouring Iran, and subject to frequent power cuts especially during the blistering summer. – AFP
