Sources told Al-Arab news­pa­per that Muq­tada Al-Sadr seeks to trans­form the Mahdi Army to a cul­tural, civil ser­vice, edu­ca­tional and unarmed orga­ni­za­tion, with­out reach­ing a “polit­i­cal party” stage.

Accord­ing to these sources, prob­a­bly Al-Sadr will issue a state­ment in this regard by the end of the “freeze” period [end of this month] in this regard.

The source said that Al-Sadr is both­ered by the pres­sure from the Mahdi Army mem­bers ask­ing him end the freeze and acti­vate the orga­ni­za­tion again.

P.S.

This is really hilar­i­ous, I don’t know what Muq­tada and his Mahdi Army can teach us.

    Seems non­sense to me. Every­body in the Mahdi Army wants to scrap the freeze and make the guns come back
