Quoted By:
> A prominent Shiite leader to Middle East Eye: "In short, Al-Sadr seeks to dismantle the coordination framework, at a time when they are seeking to force him to return to their embrace. The Shiite forces fear that Al-Sadr will form a government, and they are afraid of him going to the opposition."
>Al-Sadr’s going to the opposition means that the next government will not be stable, and may fall after months or weeks. As for his control of the government and parliament, this means that he will pursue them one by one. Al-Sadr will not forgive them for what they did to him before the elections (targeting hospitals and energy towers).
>Khazali, who aspires to lead the armed Shiite factions and the Fatah bloc, has real problems with al-Amiri, and there are differences between Asa’ib Ahl al-Haq led by al-Khazali and other armed factions led by Kata’ib Hezbollah, over leadership, influence and revenue.
