Observers: the resignation of the Sadrist bloc has increased the blockage complex

Once again, as a negotiator, he returned to the dialogue table. The framework breathes a sigh of relief with the resignation of the current’s representatives, but for winds that will not flow as the ships desire, amid political warnings of risking sailing in consensual boats, unlike the majority of the movement.

Conflicting between a bloc worried about the consequences of a government formation that al-Sadr is not participating in, and another that sees resignation as a natural matter and the wheel of negotiations continues, but it may stop at any moment, by a framework order, for fear of a consensus that lacks the satisfaction of some parties, according to followers.

The resignation of the Sadrist bloc’s deputies allowed the frameworks to breathe a sigh of relief again to return as negotiators to the fore, after the rudder was led by the biggest winner, the Sadrists. Sadriyah is a step that coordination leaders see as an adventure that may put the framework government on a hot plate boiling with the anger of the current           LINK

Al-Sadr's Circles: Retirement Of The Current Leader Is A Descent From The Boat Of The Political Process Before Drowning

Posted On2022-06-16 By Sotaliraq   Baghdad / Tamim Al-Hassan  Everyone is still under the shock of the Sadrist movement's leader Muqtada al-Sadr's retirement of the political process, while the differences within the coordination framework began early.

There were reports of preliminary preparations for demonstrations organized differently, this time under the supervision of the first line of the Sadrist movement.

But observers believe that going to the street option on the side of the Sadrists is a "postponed decision" now, despite the presence of signs of popular demonstrations close, similar to the October uprising.

Information has been leaking since last Tuesday night, that the leader of the Sadrist movement, Muqtada al-Sadr, invited his independent deputies and leaders of the movement to a meeting in Najaf.

It is assumed that Al-Sadr met today (yesterday) with his political team, but no information has come out so far, and the meeting has not been confirmed.

Since the "Al-Sadr earthquake" brought about in the political process, there has been a huge amount of unconfirmed news about escalatory steps that the current will resort to.

Among those news is what was published on news and electronic sites about the start of “unknown parties” erecting tents in Tahrir Square, even though the square has been undergoing restoration work about a month ago.

Also, within the campaign of unconfirmed news, there is talk of finding mysterious leaflets in the streets of Baghdad last Tuesday night.

And he wrote on those papers, which were said to have been distributed in some areas of the capital, “zero hour” and “the storm is coming.”

On that same night (Tuesday evening), which witnessed an expanded meeting of the coordination framework with its allies in the capital, information was leaked about the intervention of the "private office" of the leader of the movement to organize nearby protests.

And if these accounts are believed or not, the Sadrists who spoke to (the extent), indicated that the "popular anger" is a matter of time.

Those circles that speak on condition of anonymity due to strict instructions within the movement not to declare, say that "Muqtada al-Sadr jumped early from the boat of the political system, which is about to sink."

Those circles show that al-Sadr was certain that if any government failed to correct the mistakes that the October demonstrations had made for, "there are upcoming protests and they will be decisive this time."

Al-Mada) had obtained information, according to which the leader of the current decided, during his participation in the last elections, that it would be his "last experience".

This information indicated that al-Sadr was referring to the failure of this experiment (a political majority government) which means that he "goes again to the arenas of demonstrations."

The Sadrists entered about a month after the start of the October protests in 2019, after which they were accused of extinguishing the demonstrations at the beginning of 2020 and forming a new government around the middle of that year.

The movement of the leader of the Sadrist movement, which was supposed to end (today) yesterday, confused the last month's deadline that he granted to his opponents, all political forces, even within the same movement, as former Prime Minister Iyad Allawi says.

Allawi said in a televised interview that "I did not communicate with Muqtada al-Sadr after retiring, but I contacted Hakim al-Zamili, and he was scattered and upset."

During the interview on a local satellite station, Allawi considered that al-Sadr felt "embarrassed" at his inability to form a government, so he decided to boycott.

The head of the political bureau of the leader of the Sadrist movement, Ahmed al-Mutairi, had described al-Sadr's decision to withdraw from the political process as a "sacrifice for Iraq."

Al-Mutairi said the day after the decision to withdraw: "This is the attitude of the greats when they sacrifice the most precious and precious for the greater interest...".

Maliki again!

On the other hand, the coordinating framework is trying this time to get rid of the rope that it tried to wrap around the neck of the tripartite alliance, which is now broken, according to the statements of some of its parties.

Sources from within the coordination told Al-Mada that the latter "is now trying to persuade the political forces to move towards forming a new government, but he fears the presence of a new blocking third and the re-production of the complex of choosing the president of the republic."

Since the sudden resignation of the Sadrists, more than one path has emerged for the "frameworkers" in dealing with the situation, reflecting the state of confusion within the Shiite group, including the threat of Sadr's partners.

And last Tuesday, there was a meeting of all the "coordination" parties with its allies from the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan, the Azm Alliance and the Christian "Babylon".

According to those sources: «Despite the passage of 4 days since the decision to withdraw the Sadrists, but the political forces are not reassuring so far and believe that what is happening is a (tactic) or that (Al-Sadr) will retreat».

In light of everyone's anticipation for upcoming surprises, a dispute quickly emerged within the "Coordination Committee" over the personality of the next prime minister.

And Nuri al-Maliki, the leader of the State of Law coalition, returned to present himself for the position, while other parties demanded the selection of Haider al-Abadi.

With the exception of the State of Law coalition, which Maliki's office denied the news, the rest of the parties to the coordination framework remained silent about the news of the split.

In turn, Ghaleb Al-Daami, a professor of journalism at the Iraqi University, believes that what the Sadrists did was a "reward for the coordinating framework."

Al-Damamy confirmed in an interview with (range) that «the Sadrist movement presented Parliament and the government on a plate of gold to the frameworks».

It is likely that the supportive framework to be able to coordinate to get «half plus one» in Parliament, after occupying the seats of the independent Sadrists, and pass all the laws that were rejected by the movement.

Al-Dami also refers to “the possibility of understanding the framework with the political forces and forming a government, even if it is boycotting the Kurdistan Democratic Party,” noting that the Sadrists’ turn to the demonstrations “is postponed now and may be after forming a government from the framework.”

The statements of Parliament Speaker Muhammad al-Halbousi during his recent visit to Jordan indicated the latter's readiness to negotiate with the "Coordination Committee".

Al-Halbousi said after the Sadrists' resignation, that "the political blockage will not continue," denying the option of "dissolving parliament."   LINK
