On the morning of 13 August 2026, Al-Ghadeer TV (Badr Organization — official) and Al-Ittijah TV (KH — official) reported, minutes apart, that holders of the 7,000 employment-contract grades had gone eight months without salaries and were protesting outside the Diyala local government building. Al-Ghadeer TV's footage shows demonstrators with signs referencing the contracts. The rung rests on two separate faction networks reporting the same protest in near-identical wording; no state or outside account of the protest appears in the supplied evidence.

Two rival faction media operations are simultaneously channelling public-sector pay grievance against a provincial administration, which places the Diyala local government under pressure from both networks at once.
