Sadrists: We will be back soon
I don’t think this guy understands how these things work in Iraq and particularly among the Sadirsts, Sadr Trend strength cannot be measured in numbers. Muqtada’s power is; Mobilizing the Iraqi street in a matter of minutes.
As Al-Hayat Chief Bureau Mushriq Abbas, reported today that the Sadrists are disappeared but they far from being defeated:
Sadrists vanished from the streets of their stronghold-neighborhoods. Their headquarters in the Husseiniyahs [Shiite-mosques] are empty…but they left slogans on the wall: Break..We will continue soon.
I said above, regenerating members is the easiest part and Abbas reported the hardest part:
Sadrists terminologies are also changed, “collaborators” instead of “Nawasib” [a name used by the Shiites to insult Sunnis, an equivalent of "Rawafidh" used by the Sunnis to insult Shiites], “collaborating government” instead of “enemies of Ahl Al Byt” [enemies of the profit-house, again used against Sunnis].
Changing ideology also included:
Sadr Trend members said: We need to educate the people to follow the current changes that the occupation is the real disease in Iraq.
The purpose of this “break” explained by Awan as the preparation for the coming election:
The Sadrists situation will hinder the upcoming election and the United Iraqi Alliance will fail to achieve significant gains, especially in the Southern Iraqi cities, because of the broad base of the Sadrists public support.
Can not be clearer, for the time being Sadrists put all their efforts and energy on the election, and they will be back soon.
