Iraq’s Communist Party used to be one of the largest and
most powerful in the country. Under the Baath it was mercilessly hunted down
with much of its leadership assassinated. Since the 2003 fall of Saddam Hussein
it has struggled mightily to rebuild itself. As part of that effort for the
last several years it has held marches on May Day throughout Iraq. These are
pictures of the Communist Party celebrating the event in Baghdad’s Firdos
Square, May 1, 2013.
