The head of the Center for Political Thinking, Professor of Public Policy at the University of Baghdad, Ihsan Al-Shammari, confirmed that the thesis of Sayyid Muqtada Al-Sadr for the Shiite National Movement is a first step that brings together the Shiite, Sunni, and Kurdish political forces and figures that reject the coordination framework approach.
Al-Shammari said in a statement to the National Iraqi News Agency (NINA): ‘Al-Sadr’s thesis for the Shiite National Movement is to draw the general lines for the upcoming political action and within the process of forming upcoming Shiite, Sunni and Kurdish alliances, pointing out that the opposition forces to the current government and the Sunni forces are affected by the failure to implement the political agreement that the current government was formed, and they are the closest to joining Al-Sadr in the new alliance.
He stressed that Al-Sadr’s thesis came after the failure of the Shiite framework and its government in managing the state, and it is also consi
dered a first step that brings together the Shiite political forces and figures that reject the approach of the coordination framework and the government.
He explained that this thesis is the beginning of the establishment of a (national) coalition with an executive-legislative program far from the current composition with all its personalities, and it can be joined by Sunni forces, whether Taqaddam or Azim alliances, and Kurdish, and the closest to the Kurds is the Kurdistan Democratic Party.
