UN warning about the situation in Iraq

On Monday local time, in response to the recent developments in Iraq, UN spokesman Stephane Dujarric said that the events we saw today in Iraq are very dangerous.

The UN spokesperson reiterated UNAMI’s (UN Special Office for Iraq) request that the protesters should evacuate the Green Field and government buildings, noting that the UN Special Envoy was carrying out his mission in Baghdad.

On Monday, a number of Sadr movement protesters entered the presidential palace in the green area of ​​Baghdad in the center of this city.

An Iraqi security official announced on Monday that Iraqi forces have declared a state of emergency in Baghdad. On the other hand, Iraqi security commanders held a meeting chaired by Prime Minister Mustafa Al-Kazemi and Commander-in-Chief of the country’s armed forces to investigate today’s unrest in Baghdad.

Al-Kazemi once again asked the supporters of the Sadr movement to leave the green zone of Baghdad as soon as possible and not to endanger the peace of the Iraqi society.

The Prime Minister of Iraq had previously said in a statement: “The dangerous developments that took place in our dear Iraq today, with the demonstrators’ invasion of the Green Zone and entry into government institutions, indicate the seriousness of the consequences of the continuation and accumulation of political differences.”

He added: While we confirm that the entry of demonstrators into government institutions is a condemned action and outside the legal framework, we ask Seyyed Moqtada Sadr, who has always supported the government and emphasized its dignity and respect, to the security forces to remove the protesters. Help from these institutions.

The Prime Minister of Iraq noted that the continuation of political differences to the extent that it harms all government institutions is not in the interest of the aspirations of the Iraqi nation, the future and the territorial integrity of the country.

Al-Kazemi also called for restraint from everyone and the demonstrators and asked them to immediately withdraw from the green zone and adhere to the orders of the security forces who are responsible for protecting official institutions and the lives of citizens.

After the announcement of Moqtada Sadr’s resignation from political activities in Iraq, pro-Sadr protesters stormed the presidential palace in Baghdad’s Green Zone.

According to some reports, all the pages and accounts related to the Sadr Movement, including Saleh Mohammad Al-Iraqi, who is referred to as “Minister of Sadr” in Iraq, as well as the websites of al-Banyan al-Marsoos and other pages related to this movement, their activities in the space Virtual stopped.

Previously, the supporters of Muqtada Sadr, the leader of the Sadr movement, had an unlimited gathering inside the parliament building and around it in the green zone, and this caused other political movements and Iraqi officials to take a stand in recent weeks and, considering the sensitivity of the country’s situation, demanded restraint and resolving disputes through dialogue and emphasized the need to protect the legal institutions of this country and asked Moqtada Sadr to enter into dialogue with the framework of coordination, but this trend still insists on its position and non-negotiation.

The Iraqi Shiite Coordination Framework has declared its support for the constitutional path to address and solve the country’s political crises and achieve the interests of the Iraqi people, including early elections after the realization of national consensus and the creation of a safe environment.

Today (Monday), the leader of Iraq’s Sadr movement announced by publishing a statement that he will withdraw from the political arena forever.

Moqtada Sadr had retired from politics once at the end of February 2013. At the same time, the leader of the Sadr movement announced in a statement that he has completely withdrawn from the political arena and has closed all the political, religious and social offices of this movement.

In this statement, he emphasized the non-interference of Sadr’s movement in political affairs and announced that this movement will no longer have a position inside the government or outside it, as well as in the Iraqi parliament.

In this statement, it was said that the resignation of Moqtada Sadr was done to protect the reputation of the Sadr family and to keep their name away from any accusation of corruption that has happened in Iraq so far or will happen in the future with the name of these offices inside and outside Iraq. .

On July 24, 1400, Moqtada Sadr had announced the withdrawal of the Sauron faction affiliated with Sadr’s current from participating in early Iraqi parliamentary elections.

Moqtada Sadr, however, announced his return to the parliamentary election campaign at the beginning of September 1400 and suddenly announced that “we are returning with a unique determination to fight against occupation and corruption. God does not weaken the reformers, and I ask you, my supporters, to be together so that we do not leave Iraq to the corrupt.”
