KTFA: Samson: The United Nations and Al-Kazemi renew the call on the parties to save Iraqi blood
2022-08-29
The United Nations Mission in Iraq (UNAMI) renewed on Monday evening its call on all parties to refrain from violence immediately.
Commenting on the news that the leader of the Sadrist movement, Muqtada al-Sadr, had begun a hunger strike, the mission stated that “restraint and calm are necessary in order for the voice of reason to prevail.”
In addition, the Iraqi Prime Minister, Mustafa Al-Kazemi, valued the calls of Al-Sadr and Al-Amiri, to stop the violence, and all those who contributed to the calm and prevent further violence.
Al-Kazemi, in a tweet posted on his personal account on Twitter, called on all parties to “assume the national responsibility for preserving Iraqi blood.”
Amid violent clashes with medium and heavy weapons taking place in the Green Zone, which includes government headquarters and diplomatic missions, the vicinity of the US embassy building was bombarded with five mortar missiles, after which it was forced to activate the sirens.
So far, at least five demonstrators have fallen victim, and more than 50 others, including members of the Iraqi security forces, have been injured, as a result of the clashes that took place inside the Green Zone, since the riot police began trying to break up the Sadrist protests in the government palace.
This escalation comes against the background of the leader of the Sadrist movement, Muqtada al-Sadr, announcing his retirement from political work and the closure of all political, media and social institutions associated with him, and stressing his followers not to use his name or the name of the movement in any political or media activity.
As a result, the Green Zone and government institutions in a number of southern governorates became a field of clashes after the Sadrists began the “zero hour”, turning their sit-in into a general rebellion and mobilization. LINK

PETRA: The UN has the authority under their charter to interdict into national affairs of sustaining members of which Iraq is obviously one. Now, who better to absolve all political figures from being “sectarian?”
If the UN forces dissolution of Parliament PM K, Halabousi, and Saleh then are in essence absolved from making a decision that the crooked parliamentarians as well as the framework guys can argue against. There is no arguing or filing a lawsuit action here. Who would they file a protest with???
Secondly, it takes the Judicial counsel out of the equation as well. If the UN forces dissolution then the Judiciary do not need to make a ruling which, was to happen tomorrow.
How better scripted is this event and action? IMO, this is going to all happen very quickly! And again, this is just my opinion but have the agreement of a few friends of mine…and yours!………. PETRA
