[size=52]The Sadrists are waiting for the green light to expand the protests outside parliament[/size]

[size=45]Baghdad / Tamim Al-Hassan[/size]
[size=45]Nuri al-Maliki, the leader of the state of law, turned into a "burden" on the coordinating framework that is trying to calm down with Muqtada al-Sadr, the leader of the Sadrist movement.[/size]
[size=45]At a time when the "framework" began discussions to build bridges of understanding with al-Sadr, the recent statements of the leader of the state of law on the occasion of "Ashura" came to deepen the crisis.[/size]
[size=45]This escalation occurred at a sensitive time in the crisis of storming Parliament, where previous information had been circulated about the Sadrists' intention to expand the protests.[/size]
[size=45]She explained what was described as "Maliki's Three No's" as behind a new escalation of Sadr's supporters, whose features began to appear in the past hours, and the surprise could occur at any moment.[/size]
[size=45]According to these developments, information received by Al-Mada confirmed that "the few honeymoon hours that occurred between Al-Maliki and Al-Amiri, the leader of the conquest, the day before Ashura has ended."[/size]
[size=45]Al-Maliki's office had published earlier this week pictures of the first meeting with the leader of Al-Fateh for the first time after the "leaked recordings" issue.[/size]
[size=45]According to the information, that meeting, which took place after news of the differences between the two Shiite leaders, was an attempt to bring the views closer before Al-Amiri begins an expected round of negotiations with Al-Sadr.[/size]
[size=45]Information circulating in political circles indicates that "the escalation of al-Maliki, which was not agreed upon on the eve of Ashura (Monday), blew up the fragile rapprochement between the leaders of Al-Fateh and the rule of law."[/size]
[size=45]Al-Maliki launched three No's in response to al-Sadr's demands to dissolve parliament, in which he refused to dissolve the parliament, hold early elections, and change the system, before parliament returns to resume its sessions.[/size]
[size=45]And confirms the information received from informed sources, that "the coordinating framework began to feel the burden of al-Maliki's presence, especially as he tried to get rid of him more than once, but failed."[/size]
[size=45]The sources indicate that “some political circles in Iran have begun to agree that al-Maliki has become a burnt card, especially after the issue of the leaked recordings, but in return he has strong relations with other parties within the Islamic Republic that support his continuation.”[/size]
[size=45]The leaks that preceded the crisis of storming Parliament two weeks ago showed a voice attributed to al-Maliki talking with an armed faction about the importance of relations with the Iranian Revolutionary Guard and its impact on the Iraqi scene.[/size]
[size=45]Al-Maliki’s latest tense position, according to observers, seems to have angered the leader of the Sadrist movement, who swore in a tweet on “Tensioning” that “the (corrupt) shall not rule over us,” in a sign I understood that he meant the leader of the rule of law.[/size]
[size=45]With the end of Ashura's visit, on Tuesday evening, the number of Sadr's supporters began to escalate in an unprecedented manner inside the Green Zone, and this gathering understood that it was a preparation for the protests to expand.[/size]
[size=45]According to sources close to the Sadrist movement, I spoke to (Al-Mada) that "the entry of large numbers on that night was due to leaks about the broadcast of a statement about the expansion of the protests outside Parliament."[/size]
[size=45]Amid the enthusiasm of the protesters to hear the new instructions, the leader's minister, Salih Muhammad al-Iraqi, who is close to al-Sadr, denied the news.[/size]
[size=45]And he posted on his Twitter account what he said was a "forged tweet" attributed to him about a "strong escalation coming", waiting for the sit-in organizing committee to declare it.[/size]
[size=45]However, sources close to the movement suggested that "this was part of the nerve war used by the Sadrist movement against its rivals, and the escalation could happen at any moment."[/size]
[size=45]The platforms affiliated with the Sadrist movement hinted at the possibility of the protests expanding to the Jadiriyah area, where a number of Shiite forces and factions are based.[/size]
[size=45]Yesterday, the sit-in organizing committee, in a new reference to the calm, said that the next Friday prayer (tomorrow) will be "near the sit-in camps and exclusively for the protestors."[/size]
[size=45]The protesters and Sadr's supporters, who came from outside the Green Zone and from the governorates, prayed last Friday in the celebrations square in a hot weather that caused fainting.[/size]
[size=45]On the occasion of Ashura, al-Sadr had tweeted, calling for mobilization in favor of "dissolving parliament," and said on "Twitter": "Wouldn't Nasser help us!?"[/size]
[size=45]The leader of the Sadrist movement tried more than once to lure the "Tishreen" to join his supporters in Parliament, but they preferred to demonstrate in areas outside the Green Zone.[/size]
[size=45]Yesterday, the civil forces and “Tishreen” announced that they would organize demonstrations on Friday in Al-Firdaws Square in central Baghdad.[/size]
[size=45]And carried evidence about the upcoming demonstrations, demands similar to what the Sadrists call for, of "comprehensive change" and "an end to corruption."[/size]
[size=45]The civil movement is trying to impose a third equation between the "framework" and "the current", by choosing a place far from Parliament where the Sadrists are.[/size]
[size=45]Dialogue before dissolving Parliament[/size]
[size=45]Until this moment, the "coordinating framework" hopes to communicate with the leader of the Sadrist movement, Muqtada al-Sadr, through the leader of the Fatah Alliance Hadi al-Amiri, or delegations that include other parties in the framework, according to what Wael al-Rikabi says.[/size]
[size=45]Al-Rikabi, a member of Al-Attar, confirms to Al-Mada that "we have no other solution than dialogue, and Al-Sadr's demands to dissolve parliament and hold early elections will only be achieved through dialogue."[/size]
[size=45]Al-Rikabi reiterated al-Maliki’s words and the recent coordinating framework statements about “the necessity of returning the work of Parliament, the elections of the President of the Republic and the formation of a new government before the step of dissolving the House of Representatives.”[/size]
[size=45]And a member of the coordination framework stated, "The current government is a caretaker government and it does not have the authority to dissolve Parliament," wondering: "What if the Sunni and Kurdish forces refused that measure?"[/size]
[size=45]Al-Rikabi stressed that dissolving Parliament “needs that there should be dialogues before holding parliament sessions or during the resumption of the work of the Council and an agreement on the form and tasks of the new government - if it is agreed to dissolve the Council.”[/size]
[size=45]Al-Rikabi also stressed that the previous Federal Court decision, in which the results of the recent elections were supported, recommended, in return, “changing the law and the Electoral Commission and switching to manual counting and sorting, which are issues that must be discussed before dissolving Parliament.”[/size]
