He continued, "The same scenario will be repeated now, and the nomination window will be opened according to the mechanism and criteria, and then the candidate will be elected before the bloc's general assembly."

Since the Sadrist bloc’s representatives submitted their resignations from the Iraqi Council of Representatives and the withdrawal of the Sadrist movement’s leader Muqtada al-Sadr from the political process, the coordinating framework has addressed the task of forming the new government and entered into internal negotiations and dialogues with other political forces, but until now it has not been officially announced that understandings have been reached between the two parties.

The Coordination Council Received New Messages: The World Will Not Deal With The Prime Minister Of My Framework

Posted On2022-07-05 By Sotaliraq   The dilemma of the “coordinating framework” in forming the next government is widening, with hints from some countries that they will not deal with a candidate for the position close to the first team.

And the Shiite group seemed confused after the leader of the movement, Muqtada al-Sadr, recently called his supporters to hold an expanded unified prayer in Baghdad, after the upcoming Eid al-Adha holiday.

This comes at a time when the "Coordination Committee" is trying to respond to these pressures, in its own way, by organizing an extensive parade of the popular crowd simultaneously with the "Sadr prayer."

This charged atmosphere between the two parties (the current and the framework) prompted bloggers from the second group to warn of “dragging” and “setting gallows” operations against them.

In a war of words between the two sides that has been going on for days, these bloggers claimed that the Sadrist movement's calls for demonstrations, which were postponed until further notice, were directed against some factions.

]On this basis, some websites affiliated with the “framers” published information about orders issued by the leaders of the Popular Mobilization to “deal severely” with any party that approaches the factions’ sites.

The "coordinating framework", after al-Sadr's decision to quit the government formation process, is experiencing an internal and external crisis.

]And the supposed uniqueness of the "framers" in power after the withdrawal of the Sadrists, opened the door to schisms and disagreements within that group because of the form of government and positions.

What made matters worse, according to the description of sources close to the coordination framework who spoke to (Al-Mada) that the latter “received signals from international parties that it will not deal with a prime minister from the framework or close to it.”

According to those sources, "The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, during its rounds of negotiations with Tehran, with Iraqi mediation, confirmed that it and some countries had taken this decision regarding its dealings with the next prime minister."

According to the predictions of those sources, "Saudi Arabia and other countries are hinting, but they want the continuation of the current Prime Minister, Mustafa Al-Kazemi, or an independent figure who plays a role in Iraq's rapprochement with the Arab world."

The recent visits of the Prime Minister to Riyadh and Tehran had worried his opponents, from increasing Al-Kazemi's chances of heading the government.

On the other hand, the Iraqi government statements issued after those visits confirmed that they came within the "efforts sponsored by Iraq to mediate between the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the Islamic Republic."

According to Gulf media, the announcement of the restoration of relations between Saudi Arabia and Iran is expected to take place in Baghdad in the presence of officials from Saudi Arabia and Iran, with the participation of Prime Minister Mustafa Al-Kazemi and Iraqi Foreign Minister Fouad Hussein.

Last Sunday, Iranian Foreign Minister Amir Abdollahian announced from Damascus that "Tehran welcomes the return of relations with Saudi Arabia, the reopening of embassies and the start of political dialogue."

Recently, some of the "frameworkers", in statements that seemed to respond to Saudi Arabia, began pointing out that one of the characteristics of the next prime minister is that he be "internationally acceptable."

Hadi al-Amiri, leader of the Al-Fateh coalition, Ammar al-Hakim, leader of "Wisdom", and Nuri al-Maliki, leader of State of Law, recently held meetings with a number of European ambassadors in Iraq, and suggested that those meetings were for the purpose of sending reassurances to those countries about the person of the next prime minister.

The State of Law coalition claims that "Al-Maliki" enjoys good relations with the countries of the world, which is one of the justifications for his candidacy for the position, according to what is reported by the sources within the "Coordination Committee".

In the last two weeks, al-Maliki imposed his dominance over the "coordinating framework" and his relatives began to control the file of candidates to head the next government.

Wings within the Shiite bloc tried to dissuade al-Maliki from his desire to head the government and put forward the idea of ​​choosing a figure from the second line of the parties, such as MP Muhammad al-Sudani.

However, according to the sources, "the rule of law still supports the proposal for the leader of the coalition to take over the government, and is promoting what is similar to the government program to appoint more than 50,000 unemployed people and a revolution in projects."

And on Sunday evening, the State of Law coalition said in a statement, that "Al-Maliki" chaired a meeting of his bloc to discuss the formation of a "strong government."

The statement stressed, "The continuation of discussions between the forces of the coordination framework and its allies on the one hand, and the rest of the national forces on the other hand, in order to speed up the formation of the government and complete the rest of the constitutional entitlements related to the posts of the Presidency of the Republic and the Council of Ministers."

The statement came out after a single meeting of the bloc, which are individual meetings of the “coordination” wings that have been repeated recently, following leaks about the existence of splits within the Shiite bloc, meetings similar to what happened in the Al-Fateh alliance and “Asaib.”

The statement indicated that "the coordinating framework has formed committees to undertake negotiations with the active forces in the political process," expressing the hope that "these committees will reach results that will lead to showing the features of the new government after the end of the Eid al-Adha holiday."

Chest prayer!

Muqtada al-Sadr, the leader of the Sadrist movement, confused the plans of the State of Law coalition after calling for an extended prayer just one day after the end of the Eid holiday.

According to a leader in the movement, who asked not to be named, spoke to Al-Mada, "The prayer will be millions of people from all provinces."

The leader denied that "prayer is a political gathering, or after it, there will be demonstrations, as some are promoting."

The latter stressed that "the gathering is for prayer only on the anniversary of the first prayer held by Mr. Muhammad Sadiq al-Sadr during the era of the previous regime."

]Al-Sadr stressed yesterday, in a new statement, that the prayer organizing committee should give it "special importance" because it calls, according to the statement, to "reject all forms of injustice."

The statement, which followed the meeting of the leader of the movement with the members of the committee, also mentioned that there are other instructions regarding the unified prayer, which will be issued soon.

The leader of the current had named 7 people to supervise the prayer, including the resigned Deputy Speaker of Parliament, Hakim Al-Zamili.

Last Sunday, al-Sadr called for a unified prayer to be held in Sadr City, east of Baghdad, on the 15th of next July.

This timing coincides with the preparation of the Popular Mobilization to organize a parade on the eighth anniversary of the founding of the "crowd", after it was postponed twice.

According to the "crowd" circles, the parade will be "the largest and most organized." In military reviews.

On the other hand, Al-Mada sources indicated that its postponement was due to "the prime minister's preoccupation, and the presence of observations on the involvement of drones in the parade."

Some factions linked to the "crowd" are accused of being behind the booby-trapped marches that attack Erbil and the US embassy in Baghdad.

The last demonstration of the crowd last year in Camp Ashraf (formerly) in Diyala, showed a huge military arsenal, mostly Iranian-made, and smart drones.

Framework" bloggers hint that the "review" will serve as a "deterrence to any attempts to attack the coordination framework."

Some sites close to the "Coordination" had considered the Sadrists' postponement of planned demonstrations in a number of provinces, as "a halt to the lynching operation against the tireless"!

[size=45]And Ibrahim al-Jabri, a leader in the Sadrist movement, announced on Saturday evening that it was decided to postpone the demonstrations until further notice, without giving any explanation.

During the two days that preceded the postponement of the demonstrations, al-Sadr's supporters began spreading expressions of support for the leader of the movement, and signs of readiness to go out to the street, and then turned into preparations for united prayer.

Attitudes escalating with "the coming of the storm", a description of the supposed demonstrations by al-Sadr's supporters, escalated after the "commander of the leader", who is close to the leader of the movement, published a series of statements that included 30 reasons for "Sadr's withdrawal from forming the government."

Returning to the leader in the Sadrist movement, commenting on the responses that accompanied the call to united prayer, he says: "It is clear that the coordinating framework is confused and afraid of gathering even if 10 people... How will they lead the country for the next 4 years?!" LINK
