Looking similar to that of the Iraq national flag, a protest flag with several slogans: the message on the top red-line reads: "The fearful will not create freedom", as the white-line reads: "Allahu Akbar" or "Allah is Greatest", and the black line is from popular poetry referring to how "we turn our bare land to green and flowers fields". Iraqis demonstrated on March 9, 2022 to denounce rising prices of basic food items in Al-Haboby/Habboubi Square in the center of the city of Nasiriyah.
The flag is used against what is perceived to be an ineffective government.

A white-field flag
with a black character drawing of Safaa Al-Sarai (or Al-Saray or Al-Seray or
even Ibin Thenwa) [1993-2019] who was an Iraqi poster-artist who became a
human-rights activist, and has been called the "icon of the Iraqi 2019 uprising"
against the restrictive Iraqi government. This flag was paraded during a
demonstration denouncing rising prices of basic food items at the
Al-Haboby/Habboubi Square in the center of Nasiriyah, Iraq on March 10, 2022.
During a protest demonstration in Oct. 2019, Al-Sarai was struck in the head by
a flying tear-gas canister and died during a surgery attempting to remove
canister fragments.
