After the scandal of the leaks .. Al-Sadr advises Al-Maliki to "seek seclusion"

On Monday, the leader of the Sadrist movement, Muqtada al-Sadr, called on the leaders allied with the head of the "State of Law" coalition, Nuri al-Maliki, to issue a joint statement to denounce what was contained in the leaks attributed to al-Maliki, who had previously denied their validity.

In a tweet on Twitter, al-Sadr responded to what he said was a threat "from the Dawa party affiliated with the al-Sadr family, their chief al-Maliki, and a Shiite party claiming its demand for the strength of the sect."

And he called for "extinguishing the strife through a joint denunciation by the leaders of the blocs allied with him (Al-Maliki) on the one hand, and by the elders of his clan on the other."

And he added, "The denunciation is not limited to accusing me of collaborating with Israel or accusing me of killing Iraqis, even though I injected all the blood of Iraqis, including al-Maliki, in a previous clash in which he was the one who ordered and prevented."

Al-Sadr continued: "Yes, this is not only limited to, but more importantly is his attack on the Iraqi security forces and accusing the Popular Mobilization of cowardice and inciting sedition and Shiite-Shiite fighting, and it was said that in subsequent leaks it will transgress even the references, God and the world."

He affirmed, "This and that I am innocent before God and the Iraqi people of any aggression against them and of any use of violence against them... It is possible that a third party will intervene to fuel sedition, and I am innocent of it until the Day of Judgment," before advising al-Maliki to abstain and retire from political work or "turn himself in." And those who seek refuge from the corrupt to the judicial authorities.”

Al-Sadr considered that "after these destructive ideas", al-Maliki has no right to "lead Iraq in any way, but rather ruin and destruction for Iraq and its people."

The scandal of a series of audio leaks said to belong to Al-Maliki sparked controversy in Iraq, although the former Prime Minister denied it as a "fabrication".

Last Sunday, al-Maliki again denied the authenticity of the audio leaks attributed to him, the last of which referred to the popular crowd as a "nation of cowards", and to Shiite leader Muqtada al-Sadr as a "murder and thief."

This alleged leak is the fourth in a series published by the Iraqi activist residing outside the country, Ali Fadel, on his Twitter page, and he says that it is a “recording of an hour-long meeting between al-Maliki and others,” without disclosing how he obtained the recordings or their source.

And the voice that allegedly belongs to al-Maliki is heard in the last recording, warning of a "state of infighting", which he said will be motivated by Shiite leader Muqtada al-Sadr, and says that he "will not leave Shi'ism and Iraq in the hands of al-Sadr", and that he believes that al-Sadr will "attack" al-Maliki because of history. of disagreement and conflict between them.

The voice in the recording threatens to "attack Najaf", Sadr's headquarters, and says that he is heading to arm groups, adding that he "expressed to Prime Minister Al-Kazemi" these fears, and told him that he "does not trust the army and police" to protect him.

And the voice adds in response to the question of one of the attendees, “What about the crowd?” He answers, “The crowd is a nation of cowards,” but says that he needs the crowd as a cover.

In his tweet, on Sunday, al-Maliki denied the recording, and said that the crowd and its leaders are "the great hope," adding, "All counterfeiting and fabrication operations will not affect our relationship with the sons of the armed forces and the popular crowd."

The recording was widely circulated on the Iraqis' pages on the communication sites, as well as al-Maliki's tweets, which deny it.

Al-Sadr and Al-Maliki exchanged accusations many times, some of which were characterized by statements and others by insinuation, as long as they were accompanied by warnings of the explosion of the street and the congestion of the public scene in the country, which is what happened, Wednesday, after the circulation of the first “leaks”.

These sharp differences were recently reflected in the disruption of the results of the legislative elections that took place last October, after their announced numbers remained suspended from implementation when appointing the President of the Republic and forming the largest parliamentary bloc, which has the authority to name the next prime minister.
