The "Coordination Framework" prepares for a demonstration against the sit-in of the Sadrists and moves for "international support"

Shafaq News/ A leader in the coordination framework revealed, on Wednesday, that the latter is preparing to mobilize his supporters for a demonstration calling for the resumption of the sessions of the Iraqi parliament, which has been suspended for about a month.

The leading source told Shafaq News Agency, "The location of the demonstration will be mostly in the same place where the tire masses are stationed at the walls of the Green Zone, without specifying the date yet, but it will not exceed the next few days."

He added, "The aim of the demonstration is to demand the concerned authorities to break the siege on Parliament and to resume its sessions, in addition to attracting international support to restore legitimacy to state institutions."

Muqtada al-Sadr's supporters object to the candidate for the coordination framework for the prime minister, Muhammad Shiaa al-Sudani, and the "Sadrists" stormed the House of Representatives and announced an open sit-in about a month ago, to pressure towards dissolving parliament and holding early elections.

On the other hand, the coordination framework, which includes a number of Shiite forces and parties, and is considered the main opponent of al-Sadr, warns against an attempt to "turn on the people, the state and its institutions."

The tension stems from when al-Sadr's bloc won 73 seats in the elections, making it the largest bloc in the 329-seat parliament, but talks aimed at forming a new government stalled for months, which prompted the resignation of al-Sadr's bloc's deputies, followed by the swearing in of 64 new deputies. In June, this made the Coordination Framework, the largest in parliament.

 

On the tenth of August, al-Sadr gave the Supreme Judicial Council one week to dissolve parliament to end the political impasse, but the Council stated that the matter was not within its powers, which prompted hundreds of "Sadrists" to sit outside the headquarters of the Judicial Council before instructing their leader to withdraw.

Better than car bombs back and forth in markets. I’m seeing improvement, progress even!
