Wiljor Posted September 2, 2016 Report Share Posted September 2, 2016 Thanks Yota and good morning, Lets hope this does not turn nasty, Sadr has to see that Abadi is moving along at a nice pace now to accomplish the tasks at hand and in my opinion once the distribution of the wealth related to HCL is etched in stone, this should satisfy Sadr imo. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synopsis Posted September 2, 2016 Report Share Posted September 2, 2016 Seems like Sadr is saying, "We are still here and watching you. Are mission we have given to you has not changed. Our attitude toward you will change if realistic and acceptable progress is not made on our/your mission." We will likely see some news on the protest since the demonstration was scheduled for 5 pm today that is 9 am CDT. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcfrag Posted September 2, 2016 Report Share Posted September 2, 2016 (edited) This call to action is indeed very different from the previous demonstrations. Friday evening? Sound more like a candle light vigile to keep Parliment abreast of their discontent with everything that hasn't been done. I see the glass 90% full. Sadr sees the glass "not full"... Who could blame them. We are bone tired of it and we don't even have to live it every day.... 😡 Edited September 2, 2016 by jcfrag 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yota691 Posted September 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2016 3 hours ago Conflict influence in Iraq .. and vice-Sadr threatens coalition Maliki Full Religious leader Moqtada al-Sadr Abu Dhabi - Sky News Arabia Post a confidant of Representatives of the former Iraqi prime minister, Nuri al-Maliki, to calls for the cleric, Muqtada al-Sadr, the hunger strike and work, as these demands as a coup against the constitution. The MP said the coalition of state law, Jassim Mohammed Jaafar, one of the most prominent associates of the owners, said that "the Sadrist leader of the strike for food and always calls during next week's coup against the constitution." He guessed that the chest procedures lead to a "malfunction" in state institutions in Iraq, which has been witnessing since 2003 acts of violence and continuing widespread corruption among the currents, which shares power with the support of Iran. Sadr vowed to escalate to take action against the government of Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi, in the framework of a new round of political pressure under the anti-corruption and implementing reforms address. Sadr called on government employees to strike and citizens to hunger strike starting next Friday to Sunday morning, inside mosques, churches and houses of worship and cultural and social institutions. Supporters of the cleric may have resumed their protests in the capital Baghdad and several provinces, month after he was stopped by a decision of their leader, knowing that protests against corruption launched by activists do not belong to parties almost two years ago. However, the civil movement was kidnapped later from political currents, chest and held protests to put pressure on al-Abadi and parliament for the formation of what he says is a government of technocrats, and his supporters stormed the heavily fortified Green Zone twice. The Abadi, and under the pressure of protests and civil movement, announced a reform package and called for the formation of competencies government in February, but faced considerable opposition from political parties that rely on the minister to ensure funding. Parliament approved some ministers who were appointed by al-Abadi in April, but the court later annulled the parliamentary session that prevent MPs from attending after he sought to subvert. And hindered the political currents and the intersection of interests between the leaders loyal to the Iranian regime to implement the reforms, which were designed to fight corruption, which prompted the civilian currents waving to organize new protests. It is worth mentioning that the Iranian pressure in the spare-Maliki survived exposure to prosecution Aleghanoah, especially since the parliamentary campaign reports Daesh responsibility for the control of large areas of the country, accusing him of corruption files. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Bean Posted September 4, 2016 Report Share Posted September 4, 2016 I like it when Sadr flexes his muscles a bit, and Maliki's butt puckers a little. But don't ya think calling a hunger strike is ridiculous. The common people are broke, not working, no electricity and led by a dysfunctional government. Now you want them to give up food they don't even have? C'MON MAN !!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ezrapound Posted September 4, 2016 Report Share Posted September 4, 2016 (edited) It's just depressing as hell. Everyone can say all they want about progress etc., but the fact remains it's been 11 years and we don't have squat yet.

Now you want them to give up food they don't even have? C'MON MAN !!! I am thinking Sadr could be amplifying or accelerating the Iraqi populace's disillusionment with the Iraqi government using the hunger strike as a tool with the people against the government to accelerate the Iraqi government's voting on the remaining laws and completing the cabinet reforms. Possibly, the next tool Sadr hauls out to further solidify the Iraqi populace's disillusionment with the Iraqi government could further ratchet up the pressure on the Iraqi government due to the Iraqi people's behavior. In my opinion, Sadr implementing such measures furthers the necessary progress to get the needed items completed and will likely foster the chain of events we need for our much anticipated event.
