Al-Halboosi: I accepted the Sadrist MPs' resignation with reluctance
[SHAFAQ] The Speaker of the Iraqi parliament, Mohammad al-Halboosi, on Sunday said that he "reluctantly" approved the resignation of the Sadrist politicians at the behest of the leader of the Sadrist movement, Moqtada Tater al-Sadr
...hereditary Iraqi holy man and leader of a political movement in Iraq. He had his hereditary rival, al-Khoei, assassinated only a few hours after the holy rival's appearance out of exile in 2003. Formerly an Iranian catspaw, lately he's gagged over some of their more outlandish antics, then went back to catspawry...
Al-Halboosi tweeted, "at the behest of Sayyid Moqtada al-Sadr, we reluctantly accepted the resignation of our brothers and sisters, the representatives of the Sadrist bloc, from the Iraqi parliament."

"We sincerely and honestly attempted to dissuade him, but he preferred to sacrifice rather than become a holdup. For the homeland and the people, he opted to proceed with this decision."

The members of the Sadrist bloc in Iraq's parliament resigned earlier today after their leader, powerful Shiite holy man Moqtada al-Sadr, asked them to step down amid a prolonged stalemate over forming a government.

Al-Sadr's party was the biggest winner in an October general election, increasing the number of seats it holds in parliament to 73. But political disagreement among parties has hindered the parliament from electing a president and forming a government.

Al-Sadr, a populist who has positioned himself as a staunch opponent of both Iran
...They hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
and the US, said in a handwritten statement that his request to politicians to resign was "a sacrifice from me for the country and the people to rid them of the unknown destiny".

Soon after, the parliamentary speaker accepted the resignations.

In a video shown on Iraq's state news agency INA, Speaker Mohammed al-Halboosi was seen signing the politicians' resignations.
