Al-Sadr requires Al-Maliki to leave the scene before talking about reconciliation

BAGHDAD – Former Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki is in a difficult situation after the leaks in which he attacked everyone, including his allies and those who protect his back, such as the Marjaiya and the Popular Mobilization Militia, at a time when these leaks strengthened the position of the leader of the Sadrist movement, Muqtada al-Sadr, who now requires Maliki’s departure from The scene is a condition for any settlement with his Shiite opponents.

This comes in conjunction with statements by Saleh Muhammad al-Iraqi, who is described as al-Sadr’s minister and spokesman, calling on the judiciary to take action to confront those he called outlaws, in reference to al-Maliki, after the leaks attributed to him included distorting his opponents and harming their private lives and targeting the state with all its institutions.

Iraqi political circles said that al-Sadr regained the initiative against al-Maliki, after the latter had pushed him to flee the political arena and abandon the right of the current to form a government, and that the leader of the state of law and the leader of the coordinating framework had no choice but to search for a settlement that would leave his opponent the first role and allow him to Remain in the scene until circumstances change and regain the initiative.

Al-Maliki’s words about reconciliation with Al-Sadr are meaningless, and his calls to meet Al-Sadr were met with disdain by the Sadrists

These circles indicated that the leaks left al-Maliki alone, and that the components of the coordinating framework will have to break with him and search for a path to a settlement without him, and that the popular crowd, which was a strong card in his hand, will find itself obliged to neutrality, and even Iran, which is strengthened by it, will be forced to search for an alternative for him. The same applies to the Dawa Party, which will be forced to withdraw its protection and search for a new face to represent it in the next phase’s consultations.

Al-Iraqi ruled out a reconciliation between Al-Sadr and Al-Maliki against the background of the audio leaks attributed to Al-Maliki, which “offended Al-Sadr” and the various actors in Iraq.

Al-Iraqi said in a press statement distributed on Friday evening that “the audio leaks attributed to Nuri al-Maliki include an attack on the authority, insults to the Iraqi people, abuse of the security forces, assault on the crowd, stirring up sedition, accusations of national leaders without evidence, and dealing with the outside without legal cover.”

The leaks also included “the formation of factions, the purchase of heavy weapons, incitement to murder, a sectarian tone that violates the law, destabilizing security, empowering impudent militias, and acknowledging the cold-blooded killing of Iraqis under the name of the law in Basra and Karbala.”

It is unlikely that a reconciliation between al-Sadr and al-Maliki will take place on the background of the audio leaks

Saleh al-Iraqi, who is close to al-Sadr, addressed the Islamic Dawa Party, saying, “Is this how we deal with the people, with the reference and with the sects?”

He added, “Do you want our leader Muqtada al-Sadr to refrain from transgressing the authority, bloodshed, insulting the people and the crowd, or do you want him to stop accusing him of working for Israel and reconcile with the owner of the leaks, Nuri al-Maliki… What is this thinking of you, leaders of Shiites and the nation?”

And he stressed that “elimination is at stake, either justice and the application of the law or bias and cover up for outlaws.”

The Supreme Judicial Council in Iraq had revealed that the Baghdad / Karkh investigation court had received a request submitted to the Public Prosecution to take legal measures regarding the audio leaks attributed to Nuri al-Maliki and that the court was conducting a fundamental investigation in accordance with the law.

Last Wednesday, al-Maliki announced his readiness to hold a direct meeting with al-Sadr after the uproar of audio leaks attributed to him, in which he offended al-Sadr, the religious authority and the security forces.

“My hand is outstretched to find good relations with al-Sadr and leave the differences of the past,” he said.

Al-Maliki stated that there are “parties and some tribal leaders who are currently moving to arrange a direct meeting for us with al-Sadr… It is possible to meet with him directly because we want positive relations.”

Al-Maliki’s attempt to deny the recordings and say that they are fabricated and will not change anything from the reality that produced them did not succeed, especially since his opponents at home, especially the leader of the Sadrist movement, are keen to employ them as much as possible to block the way for his efforts to control the political process, especially his assumption of the presidency of the government.

Last Monday, al-Sadr called on the leader of the State of Law coalition to retire from the political process and resort to seeking forgiveness or surrendering himself. And he wrote in a tweet he posted on his Twitter account that his opponent has no choice but to “declare seclusion and retire from political work and resort to seeking forgiveness, or surrender himself and those who seek refuge from the corrupt to the judicial authorities, perhaps it will be a repentance for him before God and before the Iraqi people.”

The previous parts of the audio leaks revealed a broad plan by al-Maliki for an open confrontation with the Sadrist movement and its Sunni and Kurdish allies based on preparing armed factions with full loyalty to him to resolve the situation in Iraq by force.

The leaks mean that al-Maliki has reached a conviction that he accepts a Shiite-Shiite war to get out of the impasse in the relationship with al-Sadr, who described him as a murderer and ignorant, and called his members cowards.

Al-Maliki said, “Iraq is on the verge of a devastating war from which no one will emerge, unless the project of Muqtada al-Sadr, Massoud Barzani and Muhammad al-Halbousi is dropped. If we drop their project, Iraq will survive, and if we are unable to do so, Iraq will enter the red circle.”

He continued, “I know that al-Sadr will target me first, because I destroyed him, and I will not keep Shi’ism and Iraq in the hands of Muqtada al-Sadr, and if the Ministry of the Interior is unable, I will not. Al-Sadr, he is a spiteful man, and he has three bad qualities, he wants blood, he is a coward, he wants money and stole the whole country, and he wants to be your ‘highest Lord’, and the Imam Mahdi, as his group claims to do so.

Al-Maliki added, “I told Al-Kazemi that the army and police are not reliable, and they will not do anything, and I will not trust you or your army. He (Al-Kazemi) replied that there is an army and police, so I told him no.”

A New Chest Comment On Al-Maliki’s Leaks: The Speaker’s Mentality And His Relationship With Neighboring Countries Emerge

Earth News / Head of the Sadrist movement’s political body, Ahmed Al-Mutairi, indicated on Friday that the recent leaks of the head of the State of Law coalition, Nuri al-Maliki, highlight the speaker’s mentality and his relationship with neighboring countries.

A statement by Al-Mutairi, received by Earth News, said, “The leaks attributed to Al-Maliki want several things, which are as follows:

1- Sowing discord among the sons of the same sect, especially since the followers of al-Sadr are many and widespread, but the wisdom of Muqtada al-Sadr prevented discord, (And God suffices the believers in fighting, and God is All-Powerful, the Mighty)

2- To highlight the personality of the speaker while he accuses everyone of false and false accusations, so that he is your Lord, the Most High and the only Savior among the men of this country, especially the Shiites among them.

3- His mention of the conspiracy and living this lie, especially since he will ally with those he accused of conspiracy and the Israeli-Gulf workers – as he claims -, so it became clear to everyone his quest for power, even at the expense of values ​​and principles.

4- The leaks highlight the tribal mentality of the speaker and how he seeks refuge with his tribe and wants to engage them in a Shiite-Shiite fight and is not afraid of the sanctity of Iraqi blood, which was the reason for his shedding more than once and in more than one province, as mentioned previously and later.

5- His disdain for the religious reference when he knows that it rejects him by saying (the tempted is not tempted), whether with his person or with his idea and system.

6- If it is true that he said that these leaks were fabricated against him – and this is a remote possibility – we have heard such talk from him over and over again, and this hadith is circulating among most of those who are now opposed to forming the government from the framework, so how can he fabricate what is adopted by him and by them?

7- The leak shows the extent of the speaker’s relationship with the neighboring countries to ask them for cover, money and weapons, and the truthfulness of God Almighty’s saying in it: (Whenever they kindled a fire for war, God extinguishes it, and they strive on the earth to slay corruption and wickedness).

In summary, this leak was intended to destroy the country and kill the people. The government, the respected judiciary and the security authorities must find out from this, and if it was a lie and fabrication, then it must bring the perpetrators to justice, and if it is true and honest – and this is expected – it must bring the speaker to justice.

An Iraqi technical team confirms the authenticity of the audio recordings of the owners

Shafaq News / An Iraqi technical team confirmed on Thursday the authenticity of the leaked audio recordings of the head of the State of Law coalition, Nuri al-Maliki, noting that it did not find applications specialized in deep forgery (Vic Deep) that have the ability to falsify sounds in the Arabic language.

The Technology for Peace team stated in a statement received by Shafak News Agency; “We have worked since the first moments of the blogger (Ali Fadel) publishing the first audio clip on July 13, 2022, which he claimed to be part of a leaked recording of the former Iraqi Prime Minister and head of the State of Law coalition (Nuri al-Maliki) to verify this and to publish other recordings after that. We continue to take notes on these recordings to find out what they are.”

The statement added; Despite Al-Maliki’s repeated denials of these recordings and his claim that they were fabricated by quoting excerpts from his voice and installing them to appear in this way, the observations we made about the video prove the opposite, as follows:

1- After the blogger (Ali Fadel) published five audio recordings with a total length of 16:41 minutes, he claimed that they were part of an audio recording that lasted for about an hour. Also, in all the circulating recordings, the transition between the sentences was very consistent and natural, and there were no different and inconsistent transitions or the presence of pieces as an indication of the merging of different audio clips.

2- When listening to the five audio recordings that were published, it is noted that the tone of the voice that was claimed to be al-Maliki’s speech was in one layer, accompanied by an echo, free of any difference and without any distortion.

3- By comparing the voice in the circulated audio recordings with that of Al-Maliki in several interviews that were conducted with him, the last of which was broadcast by Al-Ahed satellite channel yesterday, Wednesday, July 20, 2022, a great similarity was observed in the pronunciation of words mentioned in the current recordings and in the meetings with Al-Maliki, Especially the words (Sunnis, Muqtada al-Sadr, Shiites, Shiism).

4- The presence of different voices of people speaking at a different volume with the presence of sounds of a chair movement and the sound of friction are additional indications that the circulating recordings were not fabricated by voice-fabrication programs.

5- Extensive research was conducted to identify the tools and devices available for voice spoofing and a number of programs and tools were found that news websites have articles about, such as SV2TTS and AutoVC, which have been tested to conduct experiments to fake voices and deceive both the WeChat application that allows users to log in with their voice, And the Amazon Alexa app, which allowed users to use voice commands to make online purchases and payments via third-party apps like Uber, the fake apps managed to trick WeChat and Alexa, but deepfakes were more successful at mimicking the voices of women and the voices of foreign-born English speakers. We did not find any applications to falsify the voice in Arabic, especially since the conversation in the recordings included the pronunciation of vocabulary in the colloquial dialect.

The statement indicated that “the above points were written down after reviewing the recordings, and we shared them to clarify the truth of the allegations circulating about this, pending the competent government authorities and the Iraqi judiciary, which announced that fundamental investigations were conducted regarding the audio leaks attributed to the owners in accordance with the law after receiving a request in this regard from the Public Prosecution.”

Al-Alaq said in a statement received by Shafaq News Agency, “After the spread of recent leaks, which, regardless of their validity or incorrectness, have seriously harmed the Shiite reality in particular and Iraq in general, which requires all of us as advocates concerned with the matter of the call and its fate, and calls from those who are currently facing the responsibility of the call in particular and those who have taken on this responsibility. And they must fulfill its fidelity before God and join the righteous martyrs, the current preachers, and the Iraqi people, in order to empty their debts of the responsibility placed on them and preserve for the call its prestige and its shining history and to ward off the danger of falling and falling into the quagmire of politics far from the constants and adoptions of Islam, or to be a bridge to the personal dreams of this or that preacher. “.

He added, “There are two paths before us, either completely rejecting and denying these leaks, or acquiescing in their authenticity and their occurrence in reality.

And Al-Alaq indicated, “On the first path, which is to reject and completely deny the leaks, what is required is to form a high-level committee that will be respected and accepted by others.”

He explained that the committee’s work “is to prove the invalidity of these leaks in a scientific, technical and technical way, using the highest expertise in this field, to convince others of their invalidity and open the door for a constructive dialogue to confront conspiracies targeting the Shiite reality in particular and Iraq in general.”

He stressed, “Maintaining national unity and the unity of the Shiite house, putting forward a major strategic project for building Iraq, deepening trust among its people, laying the foundations and constants for relations between entities and components, and setting controls to hold accountable the negligent and those working to confuse the arena and spread chaos in it, and consider the interest of Iraq, the people and religion above all special considerations.” “.

Al-Alaq continued, “The committee is working to bridge the rift by seeking to find rapprochement and reconciliation between the opposing parties, keeping the invitation away from personal mistakes and reassuring others that the invitation transcends targeting others and is above harming any of them. all.”

And he added, “If the committee was unable to prove the invalidity of these leaks and the matter turned to the second way, which is to submit to the validity and realism of the leaks, in this case an urgent corrective pause must be taken to establish the call that all preachers and those who oppose them in particular, first of all issue, by issuing a statement rejecting these statements and declaring that they are not Adopting the call for it, and that it does not represent its policy at all, and that it is the responsibility of the people who authorize it only and who bear its judicial responsibility.”

Al-Alaq concluded by saying, “The second matter is the holding of an urgent extraordinary conference for the call, in which the amendment of the internal system is proposed, the clause of the Secretary-General of the party is canceled and the responsibility is transferred to the collective leadership only, and the participation of all preachers in electing the new leadership and a new shura for the party, and the presentation of the call’s vision of the sober relationship with the blessed supreme reference represented by the supreme reference. Al-Sistani, firmly sticking to its approach and instructions and guided by the wise Islamic approach of the two martyrs, the two references, the martyr Muhammad Baqir al-Sadr and the martyr Muhammad Sadiq al-Sadr, and rebuilding strong relations with all parties to the arena, especially the Shiite ones, and dealing on the basis of high flexibility and selflessness to achieve the higher interests of the Iraqi people.

In turn, the media office of the Islamic Dawa Party responded, in a statement received to Shafaq News Agency, in which he said, “Some social media circulated a statement issued by Mr. Ali Al-Alaq, who has nothing to do with the Islamic Dawa Party, and his words do not represent the party’s position. He talks about his personal view on the The recent fabricated media leaks, so it needs to be noted.”
