TelePolis writes that the mayor of Baghdad has been ousted by another public figure with the help of some armed men. The new man, Masen A. Makkiam, was the head of the city council. The article goes into the political positions these people had, the overlapping responsibilities, etc. What saddened me most was that there seems to be no official reaction whatsoever to this undemocratic act. 🙁 ¹
