ERBIL, Kurdistan Region- ERBIL, Kurdistan Region- Muqtada al-Sadr’s attempt to form a coalition to quickly oust current Iraqi Prime Minister Adil Abdul-Mahdi appears to have hit a roadblock. 

The Shiite cleric has been left disappointed after Hadi al-Amiri’s bloc expressed opposition to early elections, preferring to leave the matter in parliament’s hands amid ongoing and widespread protests.

"I will no longer join alliances with you," Sadr said, in a reply to al-Amiri, head of the rival parliamentary bloc, after trying to form an alliance in opposition to Abdul-Mahdi. 

In a tweet on Tuesday night, Sadr had called for cooperation with Amiri to sack the Iraqi PM.

"I ask brother Hadi al-Amiri for cooperation in order to withdraw trust from you," Sadr told Abdul-Mahdi in his tweet. "As we will also work on modifying the constitution and changing the Iraqi High Electoral
Commission and its regulations."

Amiri heads the Bina Coalition, which contains former Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki and political parties affiliated with Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) paramilitaries, known as Hashd al-Shaabi in Arabic.

Sadr heads the rival Islah Coalition, which consists of previous Iraqi PM Abadi, among other blocs. The two, Islah and Bina, after months of disagreement, settled on current Iraqi PM Adil Abdul-Mahdi as a "candidate of compromise" for premiership.  

Responding to Sadr, Amiri said he was ready to cooperate but appears to have rejected the idea of early elections.

"We will cooperate together to achieve the interests of the Iraqi people and saving the country as required by the public interest," Hadi al-Amiri, the head of Badr Organization political party and a major
backer of Iraqi Prime Minister Adil Abdul-Mahdi, said in response.

Wajih Abbas, an MP in the Fatah Alliance, the backbone of Amiri's Bina coalition, told Rudaw on Wednesday that agreement is needed between parliamentary blocs before sacking the Iraqi PM.

"Iraqi Prime Minister Adil Abdul-Mahdi resigning has its own constitutional and legal method, and this might be his government's final week," Abbas said.

Abbas, however, rejected Sadr's "direct method" of resignation, explaining that parliament must first invite the PM for questioning, then decide if they want to fire him. "Sacking Adil Abdul-Mahdi requires
dialogue and agreement. Adil Abdul-Mahdi became the Prime Minister based on a Sairoon and Bina agreement," said Abbas.

"The current problems have accumulated from the past successive governments," Abbas said, deflecting responsibility from the current PM. There are movements to resolve Iraq's current situation as the
country "can't continue like this".

With his overture to Amiri rebuffed, Sadr warned that Iraq will become the next Syria or Yemen if Prime
Minister Adil Abdul-Mahdi doesn't resign.

"His not resigning will turn Iraq into Syria and Yemen," Sadr, who heads one of the two biggest blocs in Iraqi parliament, said in a tweet on Wednesday.

Sadr said that it is a warning, and he doesn't mean to scare the people as they are "above" fear. He added that if Abdul-Mahdi doesn't resign,then blood spilling from Iraqi protests will continue and "deepen the crisis".

Sadr, in recent days, has withdrawn his support from the Iraqi government, calling for snap elections.

On October 28, Sadr called on the Iraqi PM to announce snap elections under international supervision.

The following day, October 29, the Iraqi PM rejected the notion,  instead telling Sadr to cooperate with Amiri to form a new government.

"If the purpose of elections is to change the government, then there are shorter roads, and that is if your Eminence [Sadr] agrees with brother Amiri to form a new government, and then the Prime Minister can present his resignation," the Iraqi PM said.

Iraqis have been on the streets several times in recent years to protest corruption, unemployment, bad services and a lack of electricity, among other problems plaguing the country.

Most of the protesters are young Iraqis, and who largely boycotted Iraq's May 12, 2018 parliamentary elections. 60% of Iraqis are under 25.

Iraqi youth renewed their protests on October 1, 2019. Their protests entered weeks of hiatus, mainly due to observance of the holy Shiite religious ceremony of Arbaeen, since the protests mostly take place in the Shiite south.

On October 25, after the conclusion of the religious observance, they returned to the streets.

Iraqis have been met with deadly force, including tear gas and live rounds during both waves of protests.

At least 157 people were killed in the first nine days of October, according to the United Nations.

Tuesday, however, was one of the most deadly days following after a "massacre"  against protesters in the holy city of Karbala.

As many as 35 people were killed and more than 800 wounded overnight in Karbala after security forces opened fire on protesters, according to eye witnesses and media reports.

In total, since the renewal of protests, more than 74 people have been killed.

Iraqis are adamant to continue their protests, which they have labelled a "revolution". They have said that they want all current officials gone, and have continued to take to the streets.

"Neither Sadr nor Amiri" is the feeling and mood of Iraqis on social media. Other Iraqis have been even more anti-Amiri, who fought alongside Iranian forces against Iraqi Army in the eight-year Iraq-Iran war,
claiming, on Telegram channels, that those who fought against Iraqis back in the day won't protect them today.

Iran's supreme leader has also spoken out about the protests spreading across the region, calling for legal reforms and maintained security in Iraq and Lebanon.  Speaking at an event at the military academy in Tehran, Khomeini stated the first priority of  "those who care about Iraq and Lebanon" is to tackle  insecurity, stating that  the "just" demands of protesters can only be met within a legal framework.

"The biggest loss enemies can inflict on a country is to undermine its security," Khomeini said. "More than any other, America and the Western intelligence services, with the financial backing of backwards countries in the region, stir unrest," which he labelled as "the worst and most dangerous enmity against a people."  

Iran closed its border with Iraq on Wednesday in response to the protests.

Baghdad - Writings

Arab media say Iran has given instructions to crack down on protesters and rebels in Iraq in any way.

Qassem Soleimani, commander of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards' Quds Force and the head of the Iranian expansion file in Arab countries, chaired a security meeting in place of Iraqi Prime Minister Adel Abdul-Mahdi to stop protests in Iraq since the beginning of October.

Soleimani pledged during the meeting to use all the means to suppress the Iranian-style demonstrations in dealing with the protests.

Despite the arrival of security support in the vicinity of the bridge and the Republic of Senk, the arrival of demonstrators and rebels and the presence of unprecedented crowds in Tahrir Square in the capital Baghdad and its surroundings still persist in their demands to overthrow the regime, especially after the Iraqis united on that demand and the elements of security forces joined the ranks of the demonstrators, stressing that they have nothing to do They fired continuous bullets at the protesters.

The leader of the Sadrist movement Muqtada al-Sadr

The kingmaker takes off his turban. Why does Sadr feel guilty?

2019-10-31

محمد الباسم Free Membership

Mehdi Army leader and the Sadrist movement and then block free and then # Thalv_sairon finally citizen Muqtada al - Sadr, was not out of the political game since 2003, it was the largest shareholders and especially dangerous in the Iraqi regimes known as "governments after the fall," the fall of the industry # Saddam_hasin who was arrested on He has ruled for more than thirty years without a rival.

Sadr does not deny that, but reluctantly admits that he is "the decisive choice in the president," and in a previous televised meeting, he said: «Some blame me for choosing Nuri al-Maliki to head the government of Iraq for a second term», (2010_2018). In this period, four Iraqi provinces fell to ISIS without resistance or a single bullet from the army and police towards the terrorists who did not exceed 100 armed elements.

This means that Sadr is not an ordinary cleric praying with followers only praying, nor a superficial politician based on accusations and speculation, he controlled Iraqi politics, and what Sadr does not like does not happen, and what Sadr wanted will happen against the parties.

As a result, # Iraq is competing competently for the first place among the most corrupt countries in the world, and the worst in terms of all good, and perhaps the scandal of the former governor of Baghdad # Ali al-Tamimi (Sadr) was the final blow to Sadr, when he ran it with Sadr support ended up in the capital that splits it # Tigris and pigeons sleep on both banks, the title of "worst city to live" for consecutive years.

Is the remorse that drives the chest to atone for his guilt as she created political movement and its failure in all positions entrusted to it, # Liberal # moving after / 16 / year of failed Sadrist political participation, so he is fighting today , "corruption" , which participated in the industry.

Sadr dialectic, the maker of kings and rulers, and mercury in view of his positions, it is the enemy of Maliki to a friend and then return to hostility, and close to the # Iran days # Mahdi Army to the opponent of its interventions, and then a picture of him between the leader of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards # Qasem Soleimani and Supreme Leader # Ali_Khamenei , to a warrior Once again for its interventions, and to and from, but in the end it is described as the "bodyguard of Iraq", without alliances with the neighborhood and enter into axes, but friendships of interest to serve everyone.

Sadr, the rider of the waves of demonstrations, is how Iraqis say, given the way the rug was pulled from under the legs of civilians and secularists in 2016 and enter the line of popular protests, and then a political harvest from the liberation square , which claimed the secular and won the Sadrists and Communists.

Sadr, without a turban, leads millions of demonstrations against the government of Adel Adel al-Mahdi , who he chose with his old friends in previous governments, at a time when the country was just victorious in its war against ISIS, but the war between Iran and America on Baghdad was at its height, and a candidate must be chosen. Weak like Abdul Mahdi, who represented the ultimate international and regional balance in seizing Baghdad, whose people were watching what will happen at the last opportunity.

Iraqis realized in the first of Oktobraljari, the anniversary of the passage of a full year on the assumption of the presidency of the Mahdi # Aovernmh_alaracah , that their country was lost but evaporated at the hands of the Iraqis are very collaborators with the eastern neighbor.

And they are now ranked last stage leaders who ruled over power after elections , only 18 percent of the participation of all Iraqis think, no choice but to commit suicide on # Jsr_algmehorah or occupation # Almntqh_alkhaddra where palaces isolated those responsible for the world.

Sadr's remorse is obvious, from his stubborn options and non-response and negotiation for weeks with the government, until he rode the wave of demonstrations and used what he learned from the political arts, he is the son of / 16 / years of politics, then he did not accept to raise his pictures in the yards of protest, but acquitted His supporters, who took part in the October demonstrations as partisans and “currents”, continued to argue that they were “popular” until a new prime minister was “chosen by the people”.

However, after the remorse and the revolution, the reign of Muqtada al-Sadr reigns , and returned as the most difficult number, as if the previous stages have been resurrected, and his satisfaction will be the approach of the current parties, which means that Sadr will choose the new president as before, and may feel remorse in the future.

confirmed that US political analyst and coordinator of the organization "Voices for creativity and non - violence , " Kathy Kelly, Thursday, many of the US oil companies got a lot of money after the invasion of Iraq and $ 450 billion of Iraqi oil sales did not go to improve the conditions of the people there.
"Many US companies have received a lot of money from those terrible years in the wake of the invasion of Iraq because there were reconstruction and rehabilitation operations that should have been carried out in the oil facilities that we destroyed ," Kelly was quoted as saying by Sputnik. “.
"I think people in Iraq are beginning to realize that while the kleptocrats and the corrupt have begun to develop their authority, they are also starting to develop their bank accounts and portfolios," she said.
"About $ 450 billion of Iraqi oil exports have been sold so far, but they have not gone to support the country's social services, adequate reconstruction or improving the minimum wage. As a result, Iraqis are frustrated that they have gone through a lot of shocks, and therefore have not They can find community leaders who represent them and truly represent their needs. ”
"While the United States used a divide-and-rule policy in Iraq on ethnic and sectarian lines after 2003, Iraqi voters are now less willing to say that our problem is that they represent one side or the other. These divisions seem less prominent," she said. Now the problems start from the top, with the people who run this country and who steal us stealthily. ” Finished / 25 z
