The Iraqi government responded with presenting packages of reforms aimed to provide job opportunities, build housing complexes and pay stipends to the poor, as well as scaling up the fight against corruption.

On October 22, a high-level panel tasked with a probe into the killing of some 150 protesters during the wave of anti-government protests, announced its final report, and recommended sacking and prosecuting a number of security officers in Baghdad and other Iraqi provinces.

The panel confirmed that there were no direct orders from the high-level security authority to open fire at protesters. The security officers used excessive force with live ammunition due to their "weak command and control during the protests" that led to high casualties.
