Presidency of the Parliament: Saturday's session will be devoted to discuss the demands of the demonstrators

[mannie2g]

There's nothing to discuss. Implement the citizens demands for God's sake. These officials have done nothing for the citizens  for years and it's time for action and no more talking 

[wciappetta]

We know the list of demands.... There are ten and number five on the list is most important to us.

[3n1]

Discussions your country is on fire !  ......the blatant stonewalling for the fat cats to get filthy rich has got to stop offering up maliki for prosecution would be a excellent start not the 1000 low hanging fruit iraq cut loose for corruption , if there is 1000 people that can easily be cut off how many more thousands are stealing the country blind its taken awhile but finally some things might begin to change ... heres hoping 

[Gunnytex]

What we have here ....is a failure to communicate 

[soon]

according to what l have read there are 10 blocs in parliament that needs to be the first to be charged with corruption .they own banks. tv stations & into the oil aspect  they are the ones tnat control what paraliament does .

[Donziman]

My prediction....Saturday's session postponed due to lack of Quarum and members

on vacation. Meanwhile the federal police will keep the streets empty enforceing the

curfew.  

[horsesoldier]

These fools should be talking about this the day the demonstrations began. Common sense should have slapped them in the face that ( in their own turn of a phrase ) is a CRISIS. Apparently Saturday is time enough to discuss what amounts to your country on fire 🔥!

God almighty what a dense bunch. Even this, the corrupt tell everyone it’s just not that big a deal. 

“ Welcome to Iraq, the country of nothing is that important, just WAIT ! “

Offering up Maliki sounds like a great idea except he has control of the riots in the first place

Truth be told Maliki and the iranians are probably stirring up the crowds to cover up what the're

doing somewhere else to smuggle dollars to iran.   jmho.

ERBIL - Iraqi powerful Shia cleric and leader of Sairoon Alliance, Muqtada al-Sadr, has called on his alliance's MPs at the Parliament to suspend their activities until the government introduces an agenda that would serve the people of the country.

The decision came amid the nationwide protests, started since Tuesday, against the inefficient public services, unemployment, and corruption.

It also came after Iraq's top Shia authority, Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani, argued that "the government must change its approach in dealing with the country's problems," pointing out that lawmakers also bear a heavy responsibility.

Following Sairoon, the al-Wataniya Coalition also decided to suspend their work at the Council of Representatives due to the unrest in the country.

Both blocs have decided to boycott a parliamentary session expected to be held on Saturday, reports said.

The following is the text of the invitation:

Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim

Consistent with the convergence of views and the opening of dialogue between the relevant government bodies and the peaceful popular movement demanded, and in response to the rational reference speech today and the need to respond to the legal demands of the demonstrators and the formation of a higher committee to put corrective touches on the course of the political process and outputs, we call on all political blocs and members of the House of Representatives to Take full responsibility and contribute to meet the demands of the people who elected them and chose them for this task, and mobilize all political forces and tighten the button of serious work and holding sessions of the House of Representatives full quorum to find legal exits In order to respond to the ministries and state institutions to the real popular demands in the provision of services, and that the Council responds to the call of reference and directions of the government and the voice of legitimate demands of the demonstrators, and find quick remedies for the appointment of holders of certificates and the employment of unemployed hands and support farmers and agriculture and private sector projects and address the lack of services and structure

 

On the other hand, we also call on our protesting children to preserve their demands and not to waste them with the propaganda of those who are riding the popular wave with the support of foreign trumpets whose role has been exposed publicly through campaigns of intimidation and spreading lies. Protesters, and the protection of public and private institutions and property from the hands of the abusers, and to distinguish between the demonstrator for a real demand and those who want to sabotage, killing and destruction.

 

I pray to God to spare Iraq and the Iraqis all the plot and conspiracy and ask him to reconcile all the government and people to harmony on the supreme national interest and to find decent living, security and stability.


Peace, mercy and blessings of God be upon you

I couldn't agree more mannie2g  . . .  Implement the citizens demands for God's sake.   There's nothing to discuss.  

Bureaucratic fools can't get out of their own stupid way. They've got one sandal nailed to the floor and they're running around in circles. 

 

From their complete and utter lack of inaction, they're incapable of any ACTION.
