Sadrists reject the merge of the Awakening Councils in the security service

It seems that the Awak­en­ing Coun­cils do not con­sider them­selves included in the Maliki’s plan to incor­po­rate the coun­cils in the police and secu­rity ser­vice because they are already a polit­i­cal bloc as reported on Aswat Al-Iraq.

Inter­est­ing what mem­ber of the Accor­dance Front “Al-Jubori” revealed that 20% of the Awak­en­ings are included in the merg­ing pro­gram and he asks:

Is this per­cent­age reflec­tive the social com­mu­ni­ties or the per­cent­age of the Awak­en­ing mem­bers and in this case what are the cri­te­ria to iden­tify this percentage?

Ques­tions Maliki’s gov­ern­ment promises of incor­po­rat­ing the Awak­en­ing Coun­cil in the secu­rity ser­vices are empty promises:

Polit­i­cal manoeu­vres in order to con­front the pres­sure and win­ing time.

Sadirst speaker Abdul Hadi Al-Mahmadawi told the pub­lic today in the Fri­day prayer cer­e­mony [no tran­script avail­able, only Ara­bic audio of the speech] :

We reject the merg­ing of the Awak­en­ing Coun­cil within the Iraqi secu­rity forces and make them decide the fate of Iraqis…

He links the “Awak­en­ing Coun­cils” with the armed groups.

They were the ene­mies of the Iraqis yesterday.
