[size=52]"Al-Sadr" expands the protests front to the provinces and awaits "Al-Amiri's defection"[/size]

[size=45]Baghdad / Tamim Al-Hassan[/size]
[size=45]The Sadrist movement is trying, in the crucial moments of the "regime change" project that was put forward by the movement's leader Muqtada al-Sadr, two days after his supporters' sit-in in Parliament, to expand its front at the expense of the coordinating framework.[/size]
[size=45]The Sadrists are counting on the features of the schism within the Shiite bloc that began since "Al-Sadr's" decision to retire from the political process about a month ago, and was recently manifested in a "single" speech by the leader of the Al-Fateh Alliance Hadi Al-Amiri, in which he renewed calls for dialogue between the two parties (the current and the framework).[/size]
[size=45]In return, Al-Sadr presented conditions to his old friend during the negotiation days during the “eight months” crisis that followed the legislative elections, for the first to sit at the negotiating table. I read in two directions: that they were impossible points, or a flexible position after the escalating “regime change” speech.[/size]
[size=45]This comes at a time when a new committee affiliated to the "professionals" to organize the demonstrations directed its supporters to gather at the eastern entrance to the Green Zone, and demanded that they not enter the government area and cooperate with the security forces.[/size]
[size=45]This group, which called itself the “Organizing Committee for Demonstrations in Support of Legitimacy,” borrowing the name from the Muslim Brotherhood demonstrations in Egypt 9 years ago, had leaked information about “Al-Kazemi’s pursuit and arrest of the Prime Minister!”[/size]
[size=45]On the other hand, the sit-ins inside the parliament building for the third day intensified their numbers with the entry of clans to the parliament and announced their support for "Al-Sadr's speech."[/size]
[size=45]In order to reinforce the "Sadr Front," close to the movement told Al-Mada that: "The Sadrists are aware of the splits that have been taking place for weeks within the coordination framework, and they are probably behind the recent call that was sent by the leader of the movement to Al-Amiri."[/size]
[size=45]And the Minister of Commander (Saleh Muhammad al-Iraqi), from the leader of the Al-Fateh Alliance, demanded, in response to the latter's call by al-Sadr to sit at the dialogue table, that al-Amiri "withdraw" from the "framework."[/size]
[size=45]Al-Iraqi added in a tweet on "Twitter": "The brother Al-Amiri has repeatedly called for dialogue between the framework (to which he belongs) and the Sadrist movement, which abandoned it."[/size]
[size=45]He continued: «I say: If we go down and accept the dialogue, that is conditional on the following: First: the withdrawal of Brother Al-Amiri and his bloc from the framework, second: an explicit denunciation of the words of (Spiderman) that he stated in the leaks a few days ago, and third: You were among the signatories to the A reform document..it has not been implemented..who is the guarantor of the implementation of the reform dialogue?! You must specify a guarantor in order to save Iraq from the teeth of corruption.”[/size]
[size=45]Yesterday, Monday, the head of the Al-Fateh Alliance Hadi Al-Amiri issued an appeal in which he addressed both the Sadrist movement and the coordination framework, while calling on the two parties to sit down and dialogue and avoid "shedding more blood."[/size]
[size=45]Al-Amiri said in a statement that “in the atmosphere of media escalation (…) I repeat my sincere appeal to the brothers in the Sadrist movement and to the brothers in the coordinating framework to overcome the logic of reason, wisdom, self-restraint and deliberation, and to advance the interests of the country and people through serious and constructive dialogue….”[/size]
[size=45]The coordination framework had issued last Sunday evening, an angry statement warning of a bloody coup led by the Sadrist movement through the demonstrations.[/size]
[size=45]"Unfortunately, we see a continuous escalation and an unfortunate development of events that has reached the point of calling for a coup against the people and the state..." the statement said.[/size]
[size=45]The "framework" considered what he described as "volatility" as: "a dangerous matter that brings back to memory the bloody revolutions that Iraq experienced during the decades of dictatorship before the change."[/size]
[size=45]Prior to that, Al-Sadr described the political developments that Iraq is witnessing as an opportunity to fundamentally change the political system, the constitution and the elections, considering that the Iraqis today are “at stake,” while the Organizing Committee of the Coordination Framework called for a demonstration on Monday (yesterday) at the Green Zone after “developments that threaten a coup.” Suspicious,” according to the description of the statement of the “Legitimate Support Committee.”[/size]
[size=45]According to information received by Al-Mada, the committee, which announced itself for the first time after Al-Sadr's speech, "belongs to certain parties within the coordination framework, and is not supported by all parties."[/size]
[size=45]And Nuri al-Maliki, according to informed sources, tried on Sunday evening to "respond to the storming of the Sadrists" by removing groups from the factions, but he failed due to the refusal of some leaders of the "coordinating framework."[/size]
[size=45]By following up on the statement of the Coordinator and the Committee to Support Legitimacy, we find that the statement of the first did not include an explicit reference to the demonstrations.[/size]
[size=45]Following the committee's statement, which called for demonstrations near the Green Zone, Hezbollah Brigades - one of the PMF factions - confirmed that they did not know about that call.[/size]
[size=45]Abu Ali al-Askari, a spokesman for the brigades, said in a tweet on "Twitter": "The call to demonstrate on the green walls is not known to us."[/size]
[size=45]According to the information, the participants in the "Coordination" demonstrations are: the Wisdom Movement, Asa'ib Ahl al-Haq, the Dawa Party, the Supreme Council, and the Imam Ali Brigades, while "Badr" has not resolved its position on the protests.[/size]
[size=45]“Legitimate Support” and some “frameworkers” platforms leaked information that they will “arrest Al-Kazemi and his advisors” and “close the airport road to prevent the government team from leaving the country before their trial.”[/size]
[size=45]Since yesterday morning, large military units have been seen on the airport road in the west of the capital, and military units have been seen near the suspension bridge, where the "tyremen" gather.[/size]
[size=45]While observers interpreted “Al-Sadr’s conditions” in exchange for negotiation, as stated in the call of the leader of the Al-Fateh Alliance, as “flexibility” in the positions of the leader of the movement on “calls for regime change,” those close to the movement stressed that they are “impossible conditions and there will be no negotiation except to hand over the corrupt and put them on trial.”[/size]
[size=45]Sources close to the Sadrist movement criticized: “the naming of the demonstrations by the frameworks supports legitimacy,” noting that “the coordinating framework is losing legitimacy after losing the elections and distorting the political process with political decisions by the judiciary,” referring to the interpretation of the “blocking third” and obstruction of choosing the President of the Republic.[/size]
[size=45]On the other hand, the Sadrists called for a "general mobilization," as the "minister of the leader" yesterday directed the supporters of the movement in the provinces to demonstrate in their cities (except for the city of Najaf) at five o'clock in conjunction with the demonstrations of the "coordination"[/size]
