The full text of this interview is the following:
Question: what is going on in Iraq? And what is the cause and nature of current demonstrations and protests? Why do protests are quickly dealt with violently?
What is now going on in Iraq is a popular movement for gaining access to services and the minimums of a good life like what other people enjoy. The slackness of politicians in providing people with services and the basic needs of life and filling the class gaps is palpable.
Furthermore, political and organisational corruptions in governments have continued following 2003. It doesn’t mean that the past rulers weren’t corrupt; but, it means that people expected the governments following the Taghut attend to all hardships people sustained during the rule of Baath party; however, unfortunately, the political class acted slackly and ignorantly in this regard.
These demonstrations started with some right popular demands, however, some foreign and internal elements attempted to divert them from the right path; but we hope that our children don’t let the enemies swerve demonstrations anymore.
Question: Iraqi and Lebanese demonstrations are being held simultaneously, whether are these local and internal? Or do they have some foreign causes?
- In order to take sectarian revenge and to destroy the political structure of Iraq, some internal and foreign elements attempted to change the peaceful demonstrations into violent ones.
Initially, it seemed that demonstrations were held on popular demands, however, those observers and people who watched Western, Arab and Hebrew media found that such demonstrations are being arranged abroad.
Abusing shortages and political class’s corruption, they prepared the ground for hitting the countries that fight the global Zionism and their mercenaries. This scenario is also being played out in Lebanon.
