The Muqtada al-Sadr-founded Sadrist movement has reiterated its appeal for the establishment of independent power and governance in Iraq, outlining its desired goals.
Saleh Muhammad al-Iraqi, commonly known as Minister al-Sadr, the head of the Sadrist movement, stressed the necessity of ousting tried and true parties from office, fighting sectarianism and corruption, and disarmament in a message posted to his Twitter account today, Sunday.
He emphasised the need of fighting, clinging to power, and evading quotas.
He also emphasised his desire for Iraq to have fair relations with all other countries and an impartial, non-political judiciary.
The leader of the Sadrist movement suggested yesterday, on Saturday, that all political parties active since Saddam Hussein’s downfall, including his party, resign from their positions in the government to allow the nation’s political issue to be resolved.
After insisting on dissolving parliament, he wrote in a tweet on his Twitter account that excluding all parties and individuals who have engaged in the political process since the US occupation in 2003, including his party, is more crucial than dissolving parliament and conducting early elections. power in the future elections.
He also said he was willing to sign an agreement within 72 hours that included this stipulation.
Notably, despite the nation’s continuing political unrest, the Shiite leaders supporters have been congregating in and around the parliament building for almost a month.
The conflict between Sadr and the coordination framework, which consists of Nouri al-Maliki and the Conquest Alliance, as well as factions close to Iran, has continued for the past ten months, that is, since the parliamentary elections on October 10th, in which the Sadrist movement won the largest share of parliamentarians, without being able to form a government with the Kurdish and Sunni Arab parties, as well as without the participation of his rivals.
Al-Sadr has shown he has unmatched influence in Iraq, though, and he can mobilise hundreds of thousands of supporters and upset the political system.
Minister Al-Sadr: We desire a nation free of tried-and-true political forces.
