Protesters camp out in Iraq's Parliament building as a power struggle unfolds

Iraqi protesters rest inside the Parliament building in Baghdad on Sunday. Thousands of followers of an influential Shiite cleric stormed into the building on Saturday, for the second time this week, protesting government formation efforts led by his rivals, an alliance of Iran-backed groups.

Followers of an influential cleric have pledged to continue the sit-in to derail efforts from Iran-backed groups to form the country's next government.
