[size=52]Al-Sadr’s withdrawal plan was prepared 10 months ago: “This is my last experience, either a rescue government or the protests.”[/size]

[size=45]Baghdad / Tamim Al-Hassan[/size]
[size=45]Ten months before the decision of the leader of the Sadrist movement, Muqtada al-Sadr, to boycott the political process, the features of the withdrawal plan had been drawn, and the alternative was to "go to the street."[/size]
[size=45]On the contrary, his opponents were surprised by Al-Sadr's implementation of his threat and withdrew his deputies from Parliament, and with the absence of a "B" plan for the opposing team, randomness appeared in dealing with the situation.[/size]
[size=45]Until recently, the Shiite "coordinating framework" was expected that the leader of the Sadrist movement would reverse his decision, as happened in previous situations, but this did not happen.[/size]
[size=45]The "frameworkers" remained clinging to the idea of ​​"al-Sadr" returning to his new convictions after the 2021 elections for the past eight months, or waiting for Iran to intervene.[/size]
[size=45]Even Sadr's allies did not succeed in changing the latter's position, and his partner, Muhammad al-Halbousi, Speaker of Parliament and a leader in the "Sovereignty" coalition, admitted that he had signed the Sadrists' resignation "reluctantly".[/size]
[size=45]Al-Halbousi said after the Sadrists' sudden resignation: "We have made a sincere and sincere effort to discourage (Al-Sadr) from this step, but he preferred to be a sacrifice..."[/size]
[size=45]A meeting that took place in Erbil between the two sides of the tripartite alliance in the absence of "Sadr" on the eve of the decision to resign, it was leaked from him that it was for the purpose of persuading the leader of the movement to reverse his position.[/size]
[size=45]Among the Sadrists, I spoke to (Al-Mada) about the scenes of the decision to withdraw from the political process, especially since the current had withdrawn its ministers in the 2007 and 2016 governments, but did not withdraw the representatives.[/size]
[size=45]Those circles say, "An alternative plan was developed during the Sadrist movement's decision to participate in the elections in the wake of the October demonstrations."[/size]
[size=45]In that period, the Sadrists were keen that the election law be different this time and emulate the demands of the demonstrators, while their opponents accused them of being "according to the Sadrists."[/size]
[size=45]The Sadrists invested in the law that allowed for multiple constituencies and individual candidacy for the first time since 2005, and were able to collect 72 seats before becoming 75 with the accession of independents.[/size]
[size=45]And add among the Sadrists: "There were discussions within the movement, and we expected that the tremor experienced by some factions and parties close to Tehran would not allow the elections to pass easily."[/size]
[size=45]During "October", accusations emerged against some factions and parties of the development of violence against the demonstrators, and a number of them were arrested after that.[/size]
[size=45]After the election results appeared, which revealed a significant decline in the popularity of the Shiite forces that later formed what became known as the “blocking third,” the latter disrupted the election results for two months after besieging Al-Khadra on two sides.[/size]
[size=45]And the circles familiar with the dialogues of the political body within the movement continue, saying: "In anticipation of this position and other positions that occurred after that, during the eight-month crisis, we had drawn up a plan to withdraw or align with the Iraqis."[/size]
[size=45]The circles confirm that "the leader of the Sadrist movement used to say that these elections are his last experience in dealing with the political process in Iraq: in front of saving Iraq or sitting with the people."[/size]
[size=45]In these elections, the Sadrists asked for the first time after 2005 to be prime minister, and they also participated for the first time in the name of the outspoken "Sadr bloc".[/size]
[size=45]Sadrist circles indicate that the leader of the movement said in one of those dialogues that preceded the elections: "He has no other political experience...this last one."[/size]
[size=45]According to those circles, "the withdrawal plan had been finalized at least two months before the start of the last poll, which took place last October."[/size]
[size=45]The prospects of the Sadrists returning to the demonstrations are consistent with the continuing political blockage and the scarcity of services, especially electricity, which usually cause Iraqis to anger each other every summer.[/size]
[size=45]blunder framers[/size]
[size=45]On the other hand, the "demonstrations scenario" and with the participation of the Sadrists frightened his opponents, who seemed confused in dealing with the position of the leader of the last movement.[/size]
[size=45]Three trends emerged within the coordinating framework to deal with Al-Sadr's position: a position that flirts with the Sadrists, another that was exposed to the latter's opponents, and a third that talks about proceeding with forming a government.[/size]
[size=45]The statements of the former representative of the Badr Organization, Hamid Al-Moussawi, angered his party, which considered them to represent only the speaker's opinion.[/size]
[size=45]The office of Hadi al-Amiri, the leader of "Badr", said in a statement yesterday, "What was issued by Mr. (Hamid al-Moussawi) in one of the television interviews, does not represent the opinion of Hajj Hadi al-Amiri, the coordinating framework or the Al-Fateh coalition."[/size]
[size=45]He added, "This language spoken by Mr. Al-Moussawi is totally rejected because it disturbs the political climate and contradicts the moderate approach adopted by the Al-Fateh Alliance and its leadership, which is why it requires clarification."[/size]
[size=45]The former deputy had attacked the Kurdistan Democratic Party and the Alliance of Sovereignty, hinting that there are 6 brigades on the borders of the Kurdistan region.[/size]
[size=45]Hamid al-Moussawi, during a televised interview, said in the colloquial dialect, in response to the statements about the continuation of the tripartite alliance despite the withdrawal of the Sadrists: "I will answer them, I will make them go together - the sovereignty and the Kurdistan Democratic Party...".[/size]
[size=45]In response to Moussawi's statements, the Democratic Party wondered how the party could ally itself with such a "mindset".[/size]
[size=45]Arafat Karam, a leader in the party, wrote in a tweet on Twitter, “How can we ally with this mentality, if you had read lines in history, you would know that President Barzani is only made stronger by threats, toughness, stubbornness and resistance, so read something from history in order to know your limits and your size in front of lofty mountain peaks.[/size]
[size=45]As for the second trend in dealing with the "coordinating party" with the withdrawal of the Sadrists, like Durgham al-Maliki, a representative of the state of law, who announced that he is seeking to return the current's deputies to Parliament.[/size]
[size=45]Al-Maliki, a well-known tribal leader in Basra, said in a statement yesterday, "I will, after obtaining permission from His Eminence Sayyid Muqtada al-Sadr, and permission from the brothers, the deputies and the masses of the Sadrist bloc (...) to appeal before the Federal Court the resignations of the brothers in the Sadrist bloc for the purpose of returning them...".[/size]
[size=45]On the other hand, the official position of the coordination framework is to proceed with dialogues with the political forces to form a government.[/size]
[size=45]Yesterday, Nuri al-Maliki, the leader of the State of Law coalition, gathered at his home a meeting of the National Union, Azm Alliance, the "Christian" Babylonian Movement, and some independents.[/size]
[size=45]According to a statement issued by the meeting, the attendees discussed “continuing the dialogues” and completing the elections for the “presidents of the republic and ministers.”[/size]
[size=45]And from within the meeting, one of the sources says to (range) that «the Shiite forces do not expect to form a government without the Sadrists .. It is dangerous that the current is outside the equation».[/size]
