The appointment of a new Iraqi prime minister drew a backlash from protesters who see Mohammed Tawfiq Allawi as little different from his predecessor

Mohammed Tawfiq Allawi replaces Adel Abdul-Mahdi, who announced his resignation as prime minister at the end of last year after the country’s top cleric rebuked him for his handling of popular unrest that erupted in October.
