[size=52]"Al-Sadr" ends the most dangerous events of 18 hours, and his minister calls on the factions to leave the "Green"[/size]

[size=45]Baghdad / Tamim Al-Hassan[/size]
[size=45]By only 6 minutes, Muqtada al-Sadr, the leader of the Sadrist movement, turned back the most difficult 18 hours that had passed for Iraqis since 2003, during which about 30 people were killed and about 70 different shells were fired.
Al-Sadr gave his followers one hour to end all manifestations of the sit-in and armaments from inside the Green Zone, threatening other undisclosed measures.[/size]
[size=45]Minutes before the speech of the leader of the movement, who had been close to him, announced his hunger strike until the end of the violence, his supporters had already begun to withdraw.[/size]
[size=45]On the other hand, Sadr's recent speech will pave the way for his opponents to resume parliament sessions after the withdrawal of the protesters who have besieged the building for a month.[/size]
[size=45]It is expected that the coordination framework for the dialogue will return quickly in order to form a new government, but it will take into account what happened during the last 30 days.[/size]
[size=45]Immediately after the end of the short "Sadr speech", video clips of the leader's supporters leaving the Green Zone, including armed men, were transmitted.[/size]
[size=45]The leader of the Sadrist movement had ordered his followers yesterday to withdraw from the fighting and sit-in within "60 minutes", warning: "Otherwise, we will take other steps."[/size]
[size=45]The followers of "Al-Sadr" had begun an armed clash with armed groups inside the Green Zone, about 6 hours after the leader's resignation speech.[/size]
[size=45]Shooting was heard from the government area at about six o'clock in the evening, about 3 hours after imposing a curfew.[/size]
[size=45]According to platforms close to the movement, the sounds of gunfire were a response to the killing of two demonstrators and the wounding of more than 10 people during the storming of the government palace.[/size]
[size=45]Those platforms accused armed factions inside the green, while the gunmen then poured into the government area despite the imposition of a curfew.[/size]
[size=45]On the other hand, the factions' news websites were keen not to show any pictures or clips from the other side of the battles that were taking place between the cabinet and parliament buildings.[/size]
[size=45]These faction websites have promoted that the armed "followers of al-Sadr" are attacking the security forces that are working to expel them from the Green Zone.[/size]
[size=45]In order to remove the confusion about the identity of the other party in the Green Zone, the "Commander's Minister" demanded that the factions leave the Green Zone in return.[/size]
[size=45]The minister, who reactivated his account after Monday's closure, added: "The armed factions, even if they belong to the Popular Mobilization under any title, must leave the Green Zone, for the security forces to take charge immediately. Otherwise, the state will have no prestige." ?[/size]
[size=45]And appeared shortly before the start of the clashes, vehicles believed to belong to the "Saraya al-Salam", the armed arm of the Sadrist movement, and the clashes continued until midday yesterday.[/size]
[size=45]According to estimates of security and health sources, about 30 people were killed and dozens were injured, while more than 60 shells were used in those clashes.[/size]
[size=45]Video clips broadcast by sites close to the movement showed the use of monopods and rockets (RPGs), in addition to mortar platforms and "Katyusha".[/size]
[size=45]Last night, it witnessed the burning of about 40 headquarters of Asa'ib Ahl al-Haq, the Dawa Party, and the Badr Organization, in eastern Baghdad, Babil, Najaf, Diwaniyah, Basra, and other cities.[/size]
[size=45]Yesterday morning, the joint operations announced that 4 missiles landed in the vicinity of the Green Zone, hitting residential sites, and they were launched from eastern Baghdad.[/size]
[size=45]According to news platforms close to the movement, they had confirmed that "supporters of al-Sadr" fired more than 10 missiles from the Baladiyat area.[/size]
[size=45]These websites also published data about the last night, claiming that 300 sites of Shiite factions and parties had been attacked.[/size]
[size=45]He said that two columns of what it described as "militias" were destroyed, and those whom it called "10 terrorists" were arrested, a designation that these platforms have now given to members of the factions.[/size]
[size=45]The leader of the Sadrist movement began his speech after midday yesterday, by saying: "It saddens me a lot what happens in Iraq," offering his apology to the Iraqi people.[/size]
[size=45]Al-Sadr added, "The Iraqi is the only one affected by what is happening," noting that "the homeland is now a prisoner of corruption and violence."[/size]
[size=45]He continued in the speech, which lasted less than 6 minutes, "We had hoped that there would be peaceful protests, not weapons," pointing out that "the revolution marred by violence is not a revolution."[/size]
[size=45]And the leader of the Sadrist movement added, "I am now criticizing the Sadrist movement's revolution as I criticized the October revolution when it was marred by violence," adding, "Change your minds and withdraw completely, even from the sit-in."[/size]
[size=45]The leader of the current appeared exhausted during the sermon, as Hassan Al-Adhari, a leader in the Sadrists, had revealed on Monday that Al-Sadr was going on hunger strike until the violence stopped.[/size]
[size=45]He pointed out that "there are rude militias, and the movement should not be rude," adding, "I will not interfere in any politics from now on, and I hope that no political question is asked of me."[/size]
[size=45]Immediately, the joint operations lifted the curfew they had imposed on Monday evening on Baghdad and then circulated it to the rest of the provinces.[/size]
[size=45]Shortly after Al-Sadr's speech, the army began dismantling the concrete blocks that had been deployed during the escalation of clashes inside the Green Zone.[/size]
[size=45]On the other side of the events, the position of the leaders of the coordination framework was ambiguous, as they did not make any comment on the clashes.[/size]
[size=45]On the other hand, Hadi al-Amiri, the leader of Al-Fateh, and the only Shiite leader who commented during the crisis, described Al-Sadr's initiative as "courageous and worthy of appreciation and praise."[/size]
[size=45]Al-Amiri said yesterday, commenting on the initiative of the leader of the movement that it: "It came at a critical moment in which the enemies are betting on expanding the state of fighting between brothers. We strongly support what was stated in this initiative."[/size]
[size=45]Al-Amiri called on everyone to “follow the example of Muqtada al-Sadr with similar steps to end bloodshed and end sedition.”[/size]
[size=45]He added, "We call for the cooperation of all national forces in order to contain the effects of the crisis and move forward to get out of the political blockage, for which our honorable and patient people are paying the price."[/size]
[size=45]According to leaks that reached (Al-Mada), "parties within the framework are now preparing to hold a session to pass the government, but it may witness debates about its nature."[/size]
[size=45]And those leaks talk about that "what happened during a month of sit-ins may lead to a conviction to form a government in a short period of time to pave the way for early elections if the judiciary dissolves parliament."[/size]
[size=45]Yesterday, the Judicial Council issued a statement, confirming that due to the imposition of the curfew, it did not consider the cases related to the dissolution of Parliament, which was scheduled for yesterday, deferring its decision until further notice.[/size]
