I cried while looking at this photo, II cried of joy and sadness. Looking at Hadbaa rising again makes me feel safe, makes me know that our future will be better.
Together we will #ReviveTheSpiritOfMosul
It is always better to go back to the beginning of the problem, not where it ended, to understand what happened, then find real solutions.
If we like it or not, @realDonaldTrump seems right about what happened in 2003
What a great speech
Iraqi father of #killed protester in #IraqiProtests, says during his son's burial ceremony "I don't cry for my son but for the homeland, we must pay the price, keep the protests peaceful, don't let corrupt politicians make strife & take legitimacy from you"

For those living aboard from any sides, stop your frivolity as the people here as are your horses, millions of Iraqis inside in difficult times & you can not able to realize the situation they face while you are not inside.
Have you thought about hearing their opinion at least?
About Sistani, there is only two how criticize him, the first are the two both foreign sides. Second, is unaware about the real Iraqi feature situation.
As for who reject intervention of clergy in general with normal circumstances, they are right, to be honest am one of them (11)
Small search on google, you will find those who criticize Sistani & the @UN are the same who are the two both Iraq’s foreign allies, because they fear Iraqi independence.
This is why Sistani always open his doors to the United Nations & international organizations envoys (10)
But will find that both the US & Iran refuse that, because independent elections do not guarantee to them any future influence.
This is why The @UN & its envoy @JeanineHennis get unfair campaign by the both sides to discredit it among Iraqis,so any future elections will fail (9)
Sistani & the Iraqi moderate elite want peaceful change through elections, under supervision of the @UNIraq, three important parties must be in the next level in this, the demonstrators, Sistani, & United Nations because it is the only protector of Iraq to hold elections (8)
These decisions refers to one thing, "Iraqi independence & national unity", this is why the two both Iraq’s foreign allies afraid of it. During #IraqiProtests crisis, look at the positions of the two sides, they do not want legal solutions, but prefer chaos in order to wrestle(7)
The second decision, when he prevent the former PM Nuri Maliki staying in office in2014, although he won the election, but was rejected by all Iraqis & parties except Iran, this is one of many things Sistani stood against Iran & succeeded to impos his will,which is Iraqis will(5)
The first decision of Sistani came months after the US invasion of Iraq in 2003, when he insisted on early legislative elections, contrary to the US desires. & he rejected the State administration law by Paul Bremer, this is one of many things later why the US don’t like him (4)
Today, #Sistani (which both Iraq’s foreign allies, the US & Iran, dont like him), made the fourth decisive decision to save the country from disaster, when he forced the Iraqi parties to dismiss the Prime Minister, then the PM announced his resignation before being dismissed (3)
Today, Iraqis have proved that they have become a key player in the political process for the first time, not only after 2003 but also before that for decades.
For the first time, the prime minister in Iraq is bring down by public pressure through #IraqiProtests (2)
Breaking: Dramatic developments in #Iraq after Sistani's speech..
-PM Abd Mahdi announce he will give resignation to parliament
-Abu Jihad Hashemi the office director of the of PM, announces his resignation
-Most of the Iraqi parties, announced the move to dismiss the PM
For the first time in his speeches since the protests began, Sistani ignored to give any talk to the government, but this time he spoke to parliament. A clear message from Sistani that he no longer accept this government. that is why he asked the parliament to change it.
The enemies and their tools are plan to achieve their malicious purposes of spreading chaos and devastation and taking the country into internal fighting, and then to return the country to the dictatorship, everyone must cooperate to prevent that. (4)
We strongly reject the killing of demonstrators, the peaceful protesters must cooperate together to expel the saboteurs and not allow them to exploit peaceful demonstrations to destroy public and private property. (3)
The parliament should put,as soon as,new election law, & new election commission, acceptable by the people, in preparation for free & fair elections which its results truly reflect the will of Iraqis. Dodging in this will cost the country high price & everyone will regret it. (2)
