Urgent {Euphrates News} publishes the text of Abdul Mahdi's message to Mr. Sadr

Date: 2019/10/29 14:35 • 550 read times

(Baghdad: Euphrates News) Prime Minister Adel Abdul Mahdi sent a message to the leader of the Sadr movement, Mr. Muqtada al - Sadr, obtained by (Euphrates News).

The following is the text of the letter:
"His Eminence, Muqtada al-Sadr, may God's
peace and mercy and blessings be upon you
. national provided one of the exits to the current crisis may be proposed for the following reasons:
may come election results are inconclusive and therefore can form a majority government policy clearly enjoys parliamentary support and clear.
may contribute to the popular movement as a result of recent demonstrations to the wide participation of young people in the next elections have t Dr. constitutional amendments and reforms put forward to change the entire political climate in the country and happens in a renewal of bearing political forces to project the next phase.
There are steps that I can take and others that involve other parties, as well as reservations about the choice of this way out of the crisis.
It is not enough for the prime minister to go to parliament to announce the early elections to achieve this. The early elections require the President of the Republic to approve a request from the Prime Minister to dissolve the parliament and call for early elections within 60 days. Caretaker daily.
Or, under Article 64, one-third of the members of the House of Representatives, ie 110 votes, shall be asked to dissolve the House of Representatives.
As I wrote in a previous letter to Your Eminence there are some reservations.
If the goal of the elections is to change the government, there is a shorter way to agree with your brother to form a new government. I believe that the political blocs will cooperate extensively to achieve the necessary vote. Early elections are unknown. When will it be possible? Will the full terms be agreed? Will the results come decisive? And other things may leave us in front of large unknowns.
Turning the government into a daily caretaker government means not passing the budget.It means stopping the signing of new projects and the laws required to be legislated as soon as possible, by which we achieve agreed steps to reform, provide jobs, encourage new investments and works, not to mention many other things that should be considered. How long will it take to dissolve the House of Representatives? Or change the Commission? Investors flee because of the unknown and bloody events, and there is blood flowing, which requires clear procedures for the state to carry out its duties, and to maintain public order and apply the law to all.
You demand that the participation of the current parties is only acceptable to the people. I note that in my last speech I said that political parties have failed to understand the new equations of the country and have not done their duty properly, as the state has fallen behind. People have taken to the streets to express their opinion. This is a social / political outcome of all experiences and nations. But who will know which parties are satisfied by the people? The freedoms and rights that must be guaranteed to all are not determined by personal jurisprudence, even if they will ultimately prove true. The ballot boxes are the best means of expressing the opinion of the people, provided that we come as close as possible to provide all the conditions to match the opinion of the people with the results of the elections.
This is how it was historically and for the rest of the people, and so it is now and for the Iraqi people. Peoples are not jelly or hypothetical situations that each of us will claim to represent. Therefore, the Commander of the Believers (PBUH) rejected an allegiance at night Therefore, the will of the people must be clear. If there is despotism, revolutions are the answer. If there is a democratic system that provides the means to recognize the opinion of the people, the ballot box is the solution. Either an individual or a power party monopolizes and imposes its will on the people; It is also punishable by law and does not represent the opinion of the people.
Your Eminence, I fully understand the feelings of our youth from the issues of their country and the importance of their participation in them. We also had our youth and our enthusiasm. You may not know that I was dismissed from my fourth grade high school and I was 14-15 years old, because I participated in the Port Said demonstrations and the tripartite aggression against Egypt and against the elections that we once called fraudulent in 1956-1957. The enthusiasm and eagerness of our youth is a reassurance that our young generations have a high sense of patriotism. They will learn with their own experience the right path to draw for their country. Our duty is not to suppress them, but to respect them, to listen to them and to help them by every means possible. We have done our duty and we have sinned and sinned, and they will take responsibility and pray to the Almighty not to re-commit our mistakes, but to learn from them.
"God does not cost a soul, but it can have what it has earned and what it has gained. Our Lord does not take us to forget or sin. You are our Mawlana. is over

Masked men attack protesters in Iraq’s Karbala, killing 18

The bloodshed in Karbala could mark a turning point in the demonstrations

Security officials said Tuesday’s attack happened in Karbala’s Education Square

Masked gunmen opened fire at Iraqi protesters in the city of Karbala on Tuesday, killing 18 people and wounding hundreds, security officials said, in one of the deadliest single attacks on protesters since anti-government demonstrations erupted earlier this month.
The attack, which happened overnight, came as Iraqis took to the streets for a fifth consecutive day, protesting their government’s corruption, lack of services and other grievances.
The bloodshed in Karbala, a major pilgrimage site where a revered Shiite figure was killed in a 7th century battle, could mark a turning point in the demonstrations.
It was not immediately clear who was behind the attack, and protesters said they did not know whether the masked men were riot police, special forces or Iran-linked militia. The protesters said Iraqi soldiers had been stationed around the protest site but withdrew after the attackers began firing tear gas and live fire.
The provincial governor, Nassif Al-Khutabi, denied that any protesters were killed, adding there were some injuries among security forces.
The protests across Iraq, leaderless and largely spontaneous, have been met with bullets and tear gas by security forces from the first day.
At least 73 protesters — not including the latest fatalities in Karbala — have been killed since anti-government demonstrations resumed on Friday, after 149 were killed during an earlier wave of protests this month.
Security officials said Tuesday’s attack happened in Karbala’s Education Square, about 2 kilometers from the Imam Hussein Shrine, where protesters had set up tents for their sit-in. All the officials spoke on condition of anonymity in line with regulations.
An eyewitness said hundreds of protesters were in the encampment when live bullets were fired toward them from a passing car. Then, masked gunmen in black plainclothes arrived and started shooting at the protesters, the witness said, speaking on condition of anonymity, fearing for his safety. Tents caught fire, igniting a blaze, he added.
Karbala, along with Baghdad and cities across southern Iraq, has been gripped by a wave of anti-government protests which have often turned violent, with security forces opening fire and protesters torching government buildings and headquarters of Iran-backed militia.

ERBIL - Iraqi Prime Minister Adil Abdul Mahdi rejected on Tuesday a call by powerful Shia cleric Muqtada al-Sadr for early elections while protests against the government have been ongoing in capital Baghdad and other major cities.

Earlier on Monday, Sadr said in a statement on his Twitter account that he urges Abdul Mahdi to announce early elections in the country and that he wants it to be overseen by the United Nations.

"Meanwhile, there should be a determined effort to amend the Election Law and reshuffle the Electoral Commission," he said.

However, Saad Hadithi, a spokesperson for the Iraqi government, said that, based on the Constitution, the early elections cannot be held before the Parliament is dissolved and that only the Council of Representatives can dissolve itself.

The representatives of Sadr's Sairoon bloc at the Iraqi Parliament refused to accept the premier's refusal, demanding that Abdul Mahdi should be summoned to the parliament and present his package of reforms prepared to resolve the current situation in the country.
