    Sadrists pour to demonstrate in mid-Baghdad

    Baghdad/ Iraq TradeLink: The Sadrist leader Muqtada al-Sadr's followers began pouring into al-

    Tahreer Square, mid of Baghdad, today Friday, to demonstrate demanding reforms and combating corruption.

    It is expected that the al-Sadr will make a speech, as reported by his office last Saturday, which was described to be "important".

    Today's demonstration came of similar protests in the same square that lasted for six weeks, which resulted in clashes that killed four and wounding more than 300, when the demonstrators tried to storm into the well-fortified Baghdad's Green Zone that contained governmental buildings and foreign embassies.

    For the last two years, the Sadrist's followers and activists, known as the Civilian Trend, continued demonstrating demanding "deep-rooted reforms for the political process, combating corruption and for better services".


    In the latest demonstrations, the Sadrist leader called for changing the personnel of the Elections Commission and the Election Law.

    Sadrist sources expected that al-Sadr will announce "dissolving" his military arm, Saraya al-Salam, to "avoid" future crisis on the future of the Popular Mobilization Forces.

    This expected move is to support the current Iraqi government and an "expression of good will for post-Da'ish (ISIS) era.

    A part of this force will remain to protect the religious shrines and for "emergency cases", the sources added.

    Saraya al-Salam is one of the military groups that were stationed in Salahal-din province to protect the religious shrines there.

    This force was formed in June, 2014, which comprised of 40.000 members, only 6000 are under the umbrella of the Popular Mobilization Forces.

    Earlier, the Sadrist leader called to close all military organizations and turning them into cultural, civil, or humanitarian institutions.

    Also, he called the merge these forces with military and security establishments.

    On the security level, most of the bridges and squares in Baghdad were closed, particularly leading to al-Tahreer Square, which resulted in cutting one half of Baghdad form the other, amid warnings that some "intruders" might create a state of chaos within the demonstrators themselves.


    Today's demonstrators will hold their Friday's prayers in both at al-Tahreer Square and the Sadrist Cit, east of Baghdad, as was reported earlier, because the square will not be capable to accommodate all the comers to the demonstration.
