From IWPR's press monitor:
(Al-Iraq Al-Yoom) – Hundreds of people demonstrated in front of the Ministry of Oil demanding oil and cooking gas. They carried signs requesting the government to urge the Ministry to solve the current crisis, now in its third month with no solution. This is the first demonstration regarding the issue of the fuel crisis.
(Al-Iraq al-Yoom is a weekly newspaper issued by Isra Shakir.)
Meanwhile, the Chicago Tribune has a good run-down explaining the shortage. Among the main factors: corruption.
