The Iraqi crisis moved to the street after [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] Muqtada al-Sadr demonstrated his popular strength, yesterday, Wednesday, by storming the Green Zone in central Baghdad and controlling the parliament building in it, in rejection of the "coordinating framework" candidate for [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] . This tense reality raises fears of friction between the Sadrists and the "coordinating framework", which represents the camp allied to Iran and whose political blocs are linked to armed factions, especially since statements from both sides confirmed the escalatory trend.
In view of Wednesday's developments, the task of the "coordinating framework" to form the new government has become very difficult, amid expectations that the option of dissolving parliament and going to early elections will return.
It became clear that there was a political decision not to escalate or engage with the protesters, which allowed them to reach the Green Zone without their objection from the security services.
Yesterday, tension remained between the two parties, and with leaders in the "coordinating framework" confirming their adherence to Al-Sudani as a candidate to form the government, and following the publication of pictures of the leader of the "State of Law" coalition, Nuri al-Maliki, [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] among a number of his protection elements, and roaming inside the Green Zone, the Sadrists were On the other hand, they warn that what happened is "just the beginning."
The leader of the "Coordination Framework" coalition, MP Aref Al-Hamami, told Al-Araby Al-Jadeed that "storming parliament will not affect our efforts to form a government." He explained that "the candidate for the coordination framework for the prime minister, Muhammad Shiaa Al-Sudani, does not intend to apologize for the nomination, and the framework does not think about the issue of changing its candidate."
She explained that one of the two views supports a transitional government working to prepare early elections, and the second insists on proceeding with the formation of the government and not succumbing to Al-Sadr's dictates.
The sources added that "the Iranians do not want any intervention by the leaders of the armed factions in the crisis to avoid provoking the Sadrists further and so as not to consider an Iranian alignment against one Shiite camp over another."
On the other hand, Salih Muhammad al-Iraqi, known as al-Sadr's minister, who is in charge of issuing the positions and directives of Muqtada al-Sadr, said: "Disciplined masses, peaceful demonstrations, rapid and sudden storming of the (Green Zone) courage and strength of heart, obedience to the leader, high level understanding of his taste and wishes."
He added, "Today is a jar, then... and tomorrow? This is a message received by the parties and understood by the judiciary." He added in a statement yesterday, quoting Al-Sadr, that "if the corrupt continue their greed, stubbornness, corruption, injustice, subordination and hatred of the homeland, then the people, if they are disciplined, will deserve to be the leader and decide their fate."
In this context, a prominent member of the Sadrist movement, who asked not to be mentioned, told Al-Araby Al-Jadeed, "What happened in the Green Zone is just the beginning, and they must understand how things will go if the coordination framework does not retreat from the process of forming a consensus government and nominating A preacher party figure (from the Dawa Party) for the position of prime minister.
Other sources spoke of Prime Minister Mustafa al-Kazemi and Parliament Speaker Muhammad al-Halbousi's prior knowledge of the Sadrists' intention to storm the Green Zone, which prompted the two to head to Anbar Governorate on the same day (Wednesday) to lay the foundation stone for a new electrical station, in a manner that was not previously announced, in reference to Avoid them being in the green zone.

Al-Salami indicated that "the Sadrist demonstration was a clear message of the popular escalation to prevent the formation of a government by the coordination framework, and this is what pushes everyone towards the option of going to the early parliamentary elections again."
He added, "Going to new early elections takes a long time, up to a year and a half, and this process needs to provide large funds to support the electoral process, in addition to political and security stability, and perhaps this is the closest to the scene during the next stage, after the Sadrist movement's supporters descended into the street." powerfully."
But the expert in political affairs, Ahmed Al-Nuaimi, considered in an interview with Al-Araby Al-Jadeed that the scenario of Al-Sudani's apology for being assigned to head the government will be strongly proposed in the event that the Sadrists return to the street.
He added, "Al-Sudani has not yet issued any statement about his candidacy for the position, and no political movement has been made towards other forces, which makes the issue of his apology, similar to the 2019 scenario when Muhammad Tawfiq Allawi apologized, a strongly raised issue in the coming days."
For his part, the head of the "Political Thinking" Center in Baghdad, Ihsan al-Shammari, said that the insistence of the "coordinating framework" to proceed with the formation of a consensual government, in addition to its adherence to his Sudanese candidate, is understood as declaring a confrontation with al-Sadr and his supporters.
In an interview with Al-Araby Al-Jadeed, Al-Shammari indicated that "what is currently going on is a political battle to break the wills and show the political and popular strength of the Sadrist movement and the coordinating framework, and who will have the ability to prove his political presence during the next stage."
He added that "the coordination framework proceeding with its adherence to the formation of the consensus government, will push the Sadrist movement to more escalation steps during the next stage, to prevent the holding of any session of the Iraqi parliament, and the matter may reach a sit-in inside the parliament building by the Sadrists, as the matter may develop into civil disobedience."

But sources familiar with the course of the dialogues within the "Coordination Framework" alliance in Baghdad told Al-Araby Al-Jadeed that the leader of the Iranian Quds Force, General Ismail Qaani, who visited Baghdad on Wednesday with the aim of achieving an agreement within the coalition on forming the government, listened to two opinions within the "framework".

He considered that "proceeding with dissolving the parliament and heading towards early elections is one of the solutions to this crisis," adding: "We will not allow the losing framework in the elections to form a government, and the survival of Mustafa Al-Kazemi's government will manage the affairs of the state better than that."A prominent member of the Sadrist movement: What happened in the Green Zone is just the beginning

Additional difficulties in forming an Iraqi government
The independent deputy in the Iraqi parliament, Hadi Al-Salami, told Al-Araby Al-Jadeed that "the political situation in Iraq and the recent developments of the entry into parliament by Sadrist demonstrators confirm the difficulty of any political party being able to form the new Iraqi government."Al-Salami indicated that "the Sadrist demonstration was a clear message of the popular escalation to prevent the formation of a government by the coordination framework, and this is what pushes everyone towards the option of going to the early parliamentary elections again."
