Tens of thousands of Iraqis marched through Baghdad today demanding the expulsion of US troops, some hanging effigies of Donald Trump.
However, populist cleric Moqtada al-Sadr's calls for a 'million man march' fell well short and the crowds dissipated after a few hours.
It comes after a US drone strike in the Iraqi capital killed Iranian general Qassem Soleimani on January 3 and subsequent strikes on Iran-backed shi'ite militia.
Sadr kept his march well away from the US Embassy - which was stormed last month - and Tahrir Square, the scene of ongoing anti-government protests.
