Iraqi cleric al-Sadr calls for early election
|
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Populist Shia holy man  Moqtada Tater al-Sadr
... the Iranian catspaw holy man who was 22 years old in 2003 and was nearing 40 in 2010. He spends most of his time in Iran, safely out of the line of fire, where he's learning to be an ayatollah...
on Monday called on Iraqi Prime Minister Adil Abdul Mahdi to announce early parliamentary elections overseen by the United Nations
...the Oyster Bay money pit...
and without the participation of existing political parties.
Al-Sadr’s bloc, Saeroon, which came first in a 2018 election and helped bring Abdul Mahdi’s fragile coalition government to power, said on Saturday it was going into opposition until the demands of anti-government protesters were met.
On Sunday, four Iraqi parliamentarians resigned in anger at the government’s perceived failure to respond to mass protests, piling more pressure on embattled Prime Minister Abdul Mahdi.
Saeroon on Saturday announced an open-ended sit-in to show support for protests.
Five protesters were killed on Monday in the Iraqi capital Baghdad, a rights commission said, bringing the total corpse count nationwide since anti-government rallies erupted this month to nearly 240.
