Iraqi resistance rally in Mosul

Secu­rity

Reported by Yaqen today, Chal­leng­ing Maliki’s mil­i­tary “lion Roar” cam­paign Iraqi, eye­wit­ness reported that more than 1000 fighter from the resis­tance and armed fac­tions ral­lied today in the streets of Mosul with their weapons and cars.

Pol­i­tics

Al though in his press con­fer­ence Ja’afari denied that his new formed party will join other polit­i­cal blocs, Awan reported a new polit­i­cal “gath­er­ing” con­tains (Ja’afari’s party, Allawi’s “Iraqi list”, Sadr Trend, and Al-Fadhila). Accord­ing to the news­pa­per the “gath­er­ing” bloc expected to attracts oth­ers to join such as Salih Al-Mutlaq’s “National Dialogue”.

What is inter­est­ing about this report; is what the anony­mous source told the news­pa­per about the Sadrists:

Al-Sadr trend is very weak right now, the trend is totally iso­lated. Join­ing a new bloc can be strength it’s position.

Why this is inter­est­ing? Because yesterday’s Al-Wasat arti­cle called “Can Sadr trend be a polit­i­cal part­ner?” say:

We heard many times that Sadr trend will join this alliance or that front, but we didn’t noticed the gen­uine desire or the required move from the Sadrists, because they real­ized that any part­ner­ship with the Sadrists will lead to more prob­lems, their polit­i­cal ide­ol­ogy is mature yet.

I don’t think there will be such alliance, and you can be sure of this by check­ing Allawi’s words today in his inter­view on Al– Bayan,. He insisted on the impor­tance Ba’ath Party to join the rec­on­cil­i­a­tion process (Sadr posi­tion from Allawi’s Ba’ath party back­ground is some­thing ques­tioned in the pre­vi­ous arti­cle), and the mili­tias dis­band. Both are opposed by Sadr Trend.

Anti Bush — Maliki agreement

Ba’ath party spokesman Al-Murshidi announced his rejec­tion to the U.S. — Iraq secu­rity agree­ment saying:

There is no value to Bush — Maliki agree­ment because it is against the Inter­na­tional law and the Unti­tled Nations law.

Arshad Al-Zeibari, leader of the Kur­dish oppo­si­tion party “Kur­dis­tan Jus­tice and Progress Party” issued a state­ment:

This agree­ment aimed to sell Iraq to the occu­pa­tion forces, timed with the col­lapse of the col­o­niza­tion project.
