For more than two decades, corruption has been a serious issue in Iraq.
The oil-rich nation has consistently been ranked as one of the most corrupt in the world.
But this week, its new government has embarked on an unprecedented anticorruption crackdown.
It's targeting many high-profile politicians figures accused of making illicit wealth.
Iraqis have protested against what they say is rampant corruption in their nation.
Now, they hope the new government keeps this promise to eradicate what they call a "pandemic of fraudulent activities" at the highest echelons of power.
But what are the challenges ahead in this battle?

Ahmed Rushdi - President of the think-tank, House of Iraqi Expertise Foundation.
