[size=48]The leader of the "Sadr movement" in Iraq, Muqtada al-Sadr, said, on Saturday, that positive reactions were issued regarding his call to dissolve the Iraqi parliament, referring to "popular and clan response" as well as from some "Kurdish, Sunni and Shiite political leaders."[/size]
Al-Sadr added, through his account on “Twitter”, that “the dissolution of Parliament has become a popular and elitist demand that has no alternative,” calling on these popular and political leaders to “take a serious stand to save Iraq from the teeth of corruption and dependency, and in order for us to correct the course of the political process that harmed the people and the country.” .


[size=45]He also urged political leaders to reach a "common word" and "serious and real actions," stressing that Iraq needs "actions, not words."[/size]

[size=45]Muqtada al-Sadr also said that "the revolutionaries will continue their revolution until the demands are achieved, and they will not give up at all, as it is their only and last chance," adding: "They continued... until the demands are achieved and I am with you." .[/size]

[size=45]In a speech on Wednesday, the leader of the Sadrist movement called for the dissolution of the Iraqi parliament and the holding of early elections, saying at the same time that "there is no benefit to be gained from dialogue" with his opponents.[/size]

[size=45]Al-Sadr said: “I am sure that most of the people are tired of the entire ruling class, including some belonging to the current,” adding: “Therefore they took advantage of my presence to end corruption and the old faces, regardless of their affiliation, will no longer exist... through a democratic, revolutionary and peaceful process First, then an early electoral democracy process after the current parliament is dissolved.”
Supporters of the Sadrist movement stormed the parliament and began a sit-in, on Saturday, to reject the nomination of Muhammad Shia al-Sudani by the "coordinating framework" to take over as prime minister.[/size]

[size=45]After al-Sadr's speech, Nuri al-Maliki, the former prime minister and leader of the "State of Law" bloc affiliated with the "coordinating framework", considered that "serious dialogues, which we hope will resolve differences and restore things to their rightful place, begin with a return to the constitution and respect for constitutional institutions."[/size]

[size=45]On the other hand, Hadi al-Amiri, one of the most prominent leaders in the "coordinating framework," welcomed al-Sadr's call for early elections, noting that this requires "a comprehensive national dialogue in order to set a date, mechanisms and requirements for holding them."[/size]

[size=45]Al-Amiri, the leader of one of the prominent factions in the "Al-Fateh Alliance", said in a statement, Thursday: "We support holding the early elections called for by His Eminence Muqtada Al-Sadr, especially since the previous elections were marred by many suspicions and objections."[/size]

[size=45]On Wednesday, the United Nations Assistance Mission for Iraq (UNAMI) called on the political class to find "urgent solutions to the crisis" through dialogue between the political parties. She added, "We call on all actors to commit and participate effectively, and to agree on solutions without delay."[/size]

[size=45]And it considered, in a statement, that "the meaningful dialogue between all Iraqi parties is now more urgent than ever, as recent events have shown the rapid danger of escalation in this tense political climate."[/size]

[size=45]Tensions have intensified since the October elections, in which the Sadrist movement emerged as the largest bloc with 74 seats out of 329, and the share of Iran-backed factions declined to 17 from 48 previously.[/size]

[size=45]After the failure to annul the election result in the judiciary, the movements of these factions thwarted al-Sadr's efforts to form a government, which led him to demand his deputies to withdraw from Parliament last June. This step freed dozens of seats for the "coordinating framework", which sought to form a government, but it did not succeed in that, and the country entered an escalating political crisis.[/size]
