2018-02-09
[Sotal Iraq - via Google Autotranslate] The alliance of the Shiite leader Moqtada al-Sadr with the Communist Party and civil movements is not only a rebellion against the Shiite parties that hold its grip on power, but also a rebellion in a stereotypical form that has long regarded communists as infidels who must be fought.

The leader of the Sadrist movement Moqtada al-Sadr exceeded all expectations and triggered a new surprise by declaring alliance with leftist and civilian parties in the upcoming legislative elections to add to his record of surprises over the past few years, most notably the exit from the Iranian abaya and the rebellion against the ruling Shiite parties, The idea of ​​establishing an armed militia "Mehdi Army" with the support of Tehran after 2003.

Sadr decided to enter the next elections by establishing a new party called "integrity" instead of "the free" and approaching leftist and liberal parties in an electoral alliance called "Going towards reform", a slogan adopted by Sadr when he decided to join the peaceful demonstrations led by the party Communist and civil movements for three years.
