Leading Kurdish opposition movement Goran has withdrawn its ministers from Iraq's Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) and its member Yousif Mohamed has resigned as parliament speaker, party sources told Reuters on Wednesday.

At least three people were killed and more than 80 wounded on Tuesday when demonstrators joined a second day of protests against years of austerity and unpaid public sector salaries amid tensions between their region and Baghdad, with some calling for the KRG's ouster.
