Al-Hayat newspaper highlighted the fact that factions in the popular crowd had rebelled against Abadi, who is head of the popular popular support organization after his decision to sack former president Faleh al-Fayyad, particularly the factions close to the Fatah and state of law blocs.

The newspaper said in a report today (September 5, 2018), that "reliable Iraqi sources said that a number of factions of the popular mobilization is no longer under the leadership of the body, which became Prime Minister Haider Abadi, headed by proxy."

She added that "factions close to the blocks of Fatah and the rule of law and a number of brigades of the crowd no longer obey orders Abadi, after the dismissal of the former president of the body Faleh Fayyad, who joined the axis of conquest and the rule of law in the formation of the government dissident of the victory alliance led by Abbadi.

These sources explained that "Abbadi has made strict administrative changes that gave the Iraqi army the power to control the movements of those who remained in the crowd, but confirmed that the leaders of some factions fear that this division will damage the military equipment and salaries of associates, expected to be temporary to When forming a new government. "

Abadi's office had revealed in a statement a few days ago that the latter had become the head of the Popular Propaganda Organization, stressing his concern for the rights of the fighters and provide all support for them .

"The tension has increased between Abbadi and a number of leaders of the crowd during the dispute over the formation of the largest bloc constitutionally eligible to name the new prime minister, while observers are likely to turn this conflict to use the forces of the crowd as a tool in the conflict."

"For this reason, Abadi wanted to ensure full control of the popular crowd because of security reports that he might be involved in this conflict," the sources said.

In a related context, denied the leader of the popular crowd, Yusuf al-Kalabi, the presence of an American request to remove the deputy chairman of the crowd Abu Mahdi al-Mohandes, pointing out that "the engineer deputy head of the crowd and an Iraqi official in an official Iraqi institution governed by the law."

Press reports have pointed out that "the US envoy to the International Alliance, Brett McGork, carried a message from one item to Abadi says the need to isolate Abu Mahdi Engineer."

The engineer had previously commented on the decision to isolate Fayadh saying that "it is regrettable to take such a decision in a hurry and in this way an important and essential organ," and denounced that there is a change "without the knowledge of the crowd and the opinion of its leaders."

In a related development, the Ministry of the Interior denied issuing any document on the salaries of the crowd fighters, and said in a statement that a local media "dealt with a document that was reportedly issued by the Ministry of Finance talking about the distribution of salaries of the popular mobilization fighters, in fact the document is forged."

Iraq Election Parliament

 

 

ERBIL (Kurdistan 24) – The leader of the coalition that won the contested national elections in Iraq on Thursday said the newly-sworn-in lawmakers must resume the inaugural session soon after parliament decided to suspend until Sept. 15.

Influential Shia cleric, Muqtada al-Sadr, who led the Sairoon coalition to victory in the May 12 election, demanded the first session of Parliament, where lawmakers must elect a Speaker and deputies, resume on Sunday. 

Sadr said parliament should meet “at no later [date],” with the caretaker government’s prime minister and a number of ministers in attendance to “develop comprehensive and immediate solutions” to the ongoing crisis in the southern city of Basra.

The statement came as the country reels from the death of at least five protesters this week, and 30 more injured as people in Iraq’s southern Basra took to the streets against over the lack of government services in the oil-rich province.

On Tuesday, the temporary leader of parliament, Mohammed Ali Zaini, suspended once more the first session of parliament and noted they would reconvene on Sep. 15 to elect a speaker.

In his Thursday speech, Sadr called on parliament to “assemble immediately and, in a session broadcast publicly through official channels, inform the people of the course of events [in Iraq] no later than Sunday.”

To “develop comprehensive and immediate solutions for the present and the future” for Basra, he added, Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi “must attend the parliamentary session,” as well as the Governor of Basra, his deputies, the President of the Provincial Council of Basra, and the Ministers of Interior, Health, Water Resources, and Electricity.

In a statement immediately after Sadr’s call, Abadi affirmed his readiness to attend the session

Sadr warned that if a meeting was not held on the proposed date and if those figures were absent, they would have to “immediately leave office as if their mandate was terminated.”

In a tacit reference to Turkey and Iran, Sadr suggested that the government “cooperate” with neighboring countries through official delegations in order to achieve an understanding on increased water supplies.

The Shia cleric urged everyone to protect government institutions in Basra, especially ports and airports, from foreign interference.

“We must end informal interventions in Basra Province, especially the interventions of parties and militias, and even the Hashd al-Shaabi to maintain its reputation,” Sadr said.

Sadr is leading an alliance that includes the fourth place-holder in the election, Abadi, and is fiercely opposed to the coalition led by Iran-backed al-Fatih’s Hadi al-Amiri.

He added that unless “the parliamentary session is held on time,” then “we [his supporters] have a firm position [beyond imagination] and will shake the thrones of the corrupt, those with sectarian quotas, and those who do not respect the blood of the people or their livelihood and dignity.”

“We will never be complacent,” Sadr stated.
