BAGHDAD – In the middle of a political crisis that has persisted despite recent changes like the election of a prime minister and the president of the republic, the Sadrist movement was cleared of some charges related to demands for the creation of armed groups in Iraq.
Saleh Muhammad al-Iraqi, who is close to Muqtada al-Sadr, the head of the Sadrist movement, claimed that the current was innocent people from the (unnamed) sides forming armed formations with the intention of breaking the law and destabilising the nation.
“He has ended with my aspirations that there are those who seek to form special military groups whose mission is to violate the law and the law and destabilise the security of the homeland. From here I declare that these are not our actions, our morals, or our way of dealing Even with the corrupt as well as others,” Al-Iraqi said in a statement published in the media and on the social media pages, quoting the leader of the Sadrist movement.
“We absolve them before God Almighty and the beloved Iraqi people, he continued, and we ask everyone to work with us by notifying us about them on the one hand, and not engaging with them on the other. The situation, moral codes, and societal norms are all violated by their activities, which are against all heavenly rules. Instead of supporting them in their despicable behaviour, boycott them.
In the midst of a political crisis, many think that the Sadrist movement has anticipated by recent pronouncements any “suspect” attempt to commit violence and will tie it to it in order to misrepresent it.
While anticipating that Muhammad Shi’a would use the street paper to challenge the current government, especially given that the Sadris have the ability to mobilise the street, the Sadrist movement expressed its refusal to cooperate with the Sudanese government of Muhammad Shi’a, supported by the coordination framework.
A spark that started the conflict between the coordinating framework and the chest current, whose followers were detained in front of Parliament for approximately a month, was the nomination of Muhammad Shi’a Al-Sudani in the summer.
The tension reached its climax on August 29, when 30 of its supporters were killed in clashes inside the Green Zone with the forces of the army and the popular crowd, which are Shiite armed factions loyal to Iran and struggled with state agencies.
While refusing to take part in the new administration because they see it as a “militia and subject to quotas and would devote corruption,” the Sadrist movement claims that their movements are nonviolent and want to bring about change.
Attempts to see the head of the Sadrist movement were mentioned by sources close to the new prime minister, but it appears that the current is adamant about rejecting any chance for reconciliation with the new power.
In regard to the coordinating framework, the Sadrist movement accuses the head of the government of establishing new roles and ministries in order to appease the political parties that support it.
The Sudanese government is expected to have between 22 and 24 ministries, of which 12 will be allocated to the coordination framework, four to the alliance for sovereignty led by Khamis al-Khanjar and Muhammad al-Halbousi, two to the Alliance of Azm led by Muthanna al-Samarrai, and four to the two Kurdish parties—three to the Kurdistan Democratic Party and one to the National Union Kurdistan.
The “Saraya Al Salam” military wing of the Sadrist movement has previously shielded the protesters during several crises.
Al-Sadr issues a warning against attempts to destabilise Iraq.
