And Iraqi sources indicated to the “Sky News Arabia” correspondent, that the movement of the Sadrist movement may be after the issuance of the Federal Court’s decision regarding considering the claim of dissolving the current parliament.
On Saturday, Al-Sadr said that he did not see a response from the political parties to the proposal to hold a national dialogue.
Al-Sadr said in a statement on his official account on “Twitter” that he had submitted a “proposal to the United Nations for a public dialogue session with the political parties in Iraq.”
He added, “I made many concessions for the sake of the people’s interest and civil peace in Iraq. We ask everyone to wait for our next step regarding the policy of ignoring the situation in the country.”
Al-Sadr had announced last Tuesday that the demonstrations that were scheduled for his supporters on Saturday will be postponed “until further notice.”
Al-Sadr’s announcement of the postponement of the protests comes at a time when Iraq is witnessing an ongoing political crisis since the parliamentary elections that were held in October last year.
The crisis escalated in the past two weeks, with al-Sadr’s supporters announcing their open sit-in, which began in Parliament and then moved outside it in the heavily fortified Green Zone in central Baghdad.
On the other hand, the coordination framework, the main opponent of al-Sadr, announced the start of a sit-in for his supporters outside the Green Zone, where they demand the “formation of a national service government.”
The differences between the Sadrist movement and the framework are limited to the mechanism for holding early elections. While the current wants the current government to prepare for the elections and with the current law, the framework seeks to change the government with the amendment of the law.
The framework forces had lost the parliamentary elections that took place under this law, as the Sadrist movement won them.
