Clare: The Coordination Framework announces its support for holding early elections under conditions

2022-08-04 

The coordination framework, which brings together the Shiite forces participating in the political process, affirmed, on Thursday evening, its support for any constitutional path to address political crises and achieve the interests of the people, including holding early elections, according to conditions.

The framework stipulated, in a statement received by Shafak News Agency, "achieving national consensus on early elections, and providing a safe environment for their holding."

He stressed the need to "work to respect the constitutional institutions, and not to disrupt their work, and to keep the ceiling of political forces, the law, the constitution and the interest of the people."

The position of the coordination framework comes a day after the leader of the Sadrist movement, Muqtada al-Sadr, called for dissolving the current parliament and holding early elections, which he said he had not yet decided whether to run or not.

Soon, several political forces, including those affiliated with the coordination framework, announced their support and welcome to Al-Sadr's call for early elections.

In a statement yesterday, Al-Amiri stressed the need for a comprehensive national dialogue in order to set a date, mechanisms and requirements for holding new early elections, including providing appropriate climates to restore citizens' confidence in the political process.

The political scene is living in a crisis situation and a dead end unprecedented in the history of Iraq, as more than 300 days have passed since the early elections without being able to form a new government in the country, and the survival of the caretaker government headed by Mustafa Al-Kazemi.

On the tenth of last October, Iraq held early legislative elections to get out of a political crisis that swept the country after large demonstrations in the central and southern regions in 2019 in protest against the widespread unemployment in society, the spread of financial and administrative corruption in government departments and institutions, and the deteriorating reality The service and the livelihood, which prompted the former prime minister, Adel Abdul-Mahdi, to resign under popular pressure.

As soon as the preliminary results of the elections were announced, the voices of forces and political actors rose in their rejection of losing many seats, accusing them of major fraud in the ballot, which was denied by the executive and judicial authorities, at a time when the United Nations and international organizations praised the integrity of the electoral process.  LINK

MilitiaMan:  Conditions? I'll bet the impasse has Al - Amiri looking to get a deal from Sadr. I'll meet these items if I can get immunity or safe passage? lol.

Sadr wants the old faces of corruption out of government. If Sadr is successful in getting them weeded out he may run in the early elections, as noted below the last election can be corrected. First things first though.

Dissolution is gaining considerable popularity and there is strong demand for to get the corrupt accounted for.

 Sadr knows that the US and others know where the money is. The Citizens know that to be true now. They told us years ago they were working to this end.

And that end looks to be within days now.

They are even cleaning up not only has been done in the Dome, but now in the square.  Imo ~ MM

US report: Intelligence is following up on Iraqi daily movements and bank accounts

A US report published by the Washington Institute for Near East Policy confirmed that although the US high command is likely to focus on competition between great powers and domestic issues, its institutions are familiar with the daily movements inside Iraq, including bank accounts.  

The report, written by Michael Knights, a "Bernstein Fellow" at The Washington Institute and one of the founders of the institute's Militia Spotlight platform, followed by Nass (August 5, 2022), stated that the US intelligence community and diplomatic corps, as well as America's allies and partners, "know a lot about daily movements, conversations, and calculations." banking for key Iraqi leaders

The report claimed, "there is a plan for the coordination framework led by al-Maliki and the support of the commander of the Iranian Quds Force, Ismail Qaani, to overthrow the majority government through the use of judicial tools in accordance with an endowment concluded at the beginning of this year, offset by al-Sadr's resorting to the street and the invasion of institutions, including the parliament building

The report also suggested that US leaders think urgently and unconventionally about policies, which sends a signal to Muqtada al-Sadr that the current impasse can be resolved in more than one way and that the "stolen elections" error can be "corrected

The Celebration Square hosts a unified prayer for the Sadrists

5th August, 2022

A unified prayer was held in the Great Celebrations Square in the Green Zone in the center of the capital, Baghdad, on Friday, which gathered thousands of supporters of the Sadrist movement, in response to an invitation from Muqtada al-Sadr.

Zeeman:  before anything  you must get rid of malaki and the irians once and for all or nothing will really change but hopium no matter what anyone prints. Imo

Tivon:  What specifically is Maliki holding up? Don't tell me the citizens demands or entitlements. That's already covered from what was revealed today. We need first dibs on that info if you can provide that. Because anything other then what we are waiting for is none of our concern.

The citizens got that handled with the full support of Al-Sadr and Al-Kazemi. Published official information is not hopium. That's from your gurus over the past ten years and more who sold their followers an illusion of what the RI/RV entailed. Which had nothing to do with bank screens, redemption centers, Tier 1-4, etc.

Because all that was private information that created no real indication that the public was next. There is no hopium when it's coming from the source who is responsible for what is needed to reinstate their currency.

Which is something the local banks in Iraq were clued in on and given a deadline to connect to the digital platform that will handle all trades, stocks, bonds, shares, investments, and daily transactions.

That is not hopium. That's a deadline. What happens after or maybe even prior I am sure has been worked out between the IMF, AMF, and the CBI. Or you sure nothing has changed? I highly doubt that. You just don't read. You do know reforms come with these demands right?

The leader of Saraya al-Salam, Abu Duaa al-Issawi, confirmed today, Friday, to the Sadrist movement's demonstrators, that days separate them from achieving their demands.

MilitiaMan:  Sadr said we are not leaving the square until we get our demands met. Well they cleaned up the square today.. They apparently got what they needed.. Days away could mean many things to some. But, when crowds to the like of what we witnessed chanting take down the regime, is not on deaf ears.. That is serious. So, from the looks of it they left the square and cleaned up on the way out.. Very bullish sign that the needs of the citizens and Sadr were met and now we watch for the implementation of those needs.. imo ~ MM
